Porsche pulled it off again, after Toyota looked they had it in the bag. Maybe they punished the engine too much trying to keep the Porsche behind. But it was a good fight this year.
Ford with an epic come back. :2thumbsup:

I was beside myself with joy when Porsche returned to Le Mans in 2014. I was overjoyed when they took the crown from Audi last year. But today is just sad. To watch someone be robbed, not only of a race victory, but to be disqualified as well. Even though I'm a Porsche fan their 18th victory at Le Mans will forever stand as a hollow victory in my book.

DQ for not finishing the last lap within the 6 minute time mark. That is harsch.
Some LM rules are good, like the slow zones, but others...

Ford and Ferrari cheated abit as their cars where quicker than expected so FIA needs to be better to nerf the cars to match each other.

And yes Porsche didn't win this in my opinion, as they where dominated all race, as the Toyota grabbed the lead in the first laps and stayed there since.

And Audi needs to buy some glasses as their turd of a car looked like shit and couldn't complete at all with others, maybe if they had made it look sexy it could have done better.

I don't really think Ford and Ferrari cheated, but the organization was sleeping when they did the homologation. They did place air restrictors, but obviously that was not enough with 5 sec a lap difference :lol:

Porsche won this race fair and square. Toyota has put up a big fight, but they made a car that was 23.55 hour reliable and you need 24. It is that simple.

The whole LMP1 car line up looks bad. LMP2 looks a lot better. For me they can remove the LMP1 alltogether. The rest of the field was racing each other.

The time when champion cars looked like champs is long gone. Porsche 962C, Bentley Speed 8... 8-)

I agree on that. LMP1 nowadays is just pretty much Toyota versus VAG. Rebellion and ByKolles don't really contribute that much to it despite them both havin' much better lookin' LMPs than those who have a chance to win in LMP1.
