I've been watching it since the beginning. The racing is boring, but the strategy is interesting and the crashes have been frightening.
Thank god for the safety standards these days, two awful, awful crashes. Glad that Rocky and McNish are alright.

Pretty rough crash. Glad that Mike Rockenfeller seems to be ok. Do anyone know if there perhaps exist a slightly longer onboard-camera video from the Audi? Or maybe the recording just stopped there because the camera didn't manage to handle the impact of the crash?

OMG what was that Ferrari guy thinking about!!! Its one of the 2 easy flat out corners after the Mulsane corner and he should've stayed on the left! The camera obviously stopped cause it must have been destroyed!
I got a question though, I just saw the 2 pitstop from the 2 LMP1 leading cars, and I heard from the commentators that the #2 Audi had used the same tyres for 5 stints?????
did I hear that wrong, or did the tyres last around 4 hours??? I thought they generally changed tyres every stop, or keep them for 2 stints as max.

Doing four stints was the norm, but that fifth stint was longer than usual, yeah.

I watched most of the race, and it was a pretty good one. I was hoping for a closer finish, but it was still good.
Glad both audi drivers are ok.
