Toyota was pretty dominant for 23 hours and 55 minutes. Porsche was consistant enough to take the lead and win with their second car. First car had mech probs early in the race.

I got up in time to see last hour. Having always been a Porsche 956/962 fan it's nice to see them go back to back again. I admit fist pumping when the Toyota driver radioed in saying he lost power.

Fox Sports really screwed the pooch with their broadcast though.

Great race.

I'd take a new GT over any production ferrari right now. The 60's GT40's havent aged a bit either.

I'll add the Jag XKSS to the most beautiful car argument as well as sound. The ultimate sound is the Mazda 787B.

Yeah they did, I was pissed they showed golf instead of the race. I admit I love the GT battles better than prototypes but I was hoping Webber would grab the victory.
