Who wins LeMans? 2nd question... does the Nismo LMP1 car last the entire race?

Porsche is looking VERY fast, but they have yet to prove that they are reliable enough to last the entire race. That means Audi still has a reasonable shot. I am very curious about the Nismo team though, they tend to be very good when they do things like this, but their times are pretty far off the pace so far (24+ seconds). Your thoughts?

Too hard to guess on that one, but the speed differential is pretty big from a lap-time perspective. They'll be getting lapped fairly often over the course of 24 hours, so unless they're 100% reliable and have insanely good fuel mileage, it's not looking good so far. It's going to be an interesting/good race regardless. Very much looking forward to the Porsche vs. Audi battle.

Woke up just in time to catch the last 45 minutes of the race this morning. Painful ending for the Aston Martin, but I guess it made a few happy teams for the new 1-3 finishers. Impressive result for Porsche, and likely means the next couple of years are going to produce some great race battles.
