2017 24 Hours of Le Mans

will be exciting... Toyota just set the fastest ever lap at Le Mans in its current course configuration after chicanes were added in the 1980s.

3:14.791!

#7 had a clutch failure and is out. #9 blew a rear tire after it got hit and is out. #9 was the last car Toyota had.

That's too bad. The video posted above seemed like they could have been very impressive.

#8 is still in the race but any kind of victory is not realistic. I'm just rooting for Toyota to finish at this point. The car had serious issues earlier in the race to it's been in pit for a while, so it's too many laps behind to really make up. It's at least on e track now.
