The ACO (or possibly FIA) nerf the cars to try and make them all equal, so in the lead up to the race a lot of teams undersell themselves so that the handicap is lower. Ford certainly did this, put in poor performance early in the season to stand a better chance at Le Mans.
You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

May the forza be with you

Not been able to watch as much as I hoped, but been watching an hour every few hours. Toyota seem to be cruising to the win, but still are only 40 odd seconds clear.
What happened to the second Toyota? i saw it was on the lead lap a few hours ago. Now 3 laps back.
GT battle was insane. The Ford took the lead of Pro just in adverts here...... how annoying.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

WTF??!!! Still in shock, I'm far too tired to deal with shit like that! Bizarre situation that it almost feels like Porsche didn't deserve it, and certainly that the #5 didn't deserve to be a DNQ from some picky rule...but rules is rules. What's really strange is that I wouldn't feel like that if it had happened 2 hours earlier, it was just the nature of it which made the whole thing so cruel. Hope that the Toyota guys bounce back, I didn't really want them to win but that's got to be a huge emotional knock.

Heartbreaking....Toyota seem destined to never win Le Mans.....
So much like Carlos Sainz in 1998; 200 metres from the 'finish'. And in a Toyota built in Cologne.....eery coincidence.

What a drama....disaster for Toyota. Anyway, if you want to finish first, you first have to finish.
Big congrats to Ford!
Not on mine... ;)
