Yea it was a very strange event. All of the factory P1 entries ran into issues and the winning car at one point was over 15 laps down and climbed back up through the P2 field to take overall victory. Jackie Chan DC by Jota Sport Oreca 07 Gibson LMP2 almost won overall!
I seems like there really is some sort of Toyota curse. #7 and #9 fell out after limping around the circuit and screeching to a halt in almost view of the pit lane. #8 had been out of contention for some time before that. It makes you wonder whether that saying "Le Mans chooses it's winner" is true or not.
As for GTE Pro. I think it was a fair and clean battle for the most part. With about 4 minutes left the Aston made contact in Arnage with the Corvette, a lap later the Corvette started to get a flat; however, Jordon Taylor also locked it up and blew the second chicane on the Mulsanne and ran through the gravel, that could of easily created the puncture too.
Overall it was a good race and enjoyable to watch, aside from some wreck less LMP2 drivers, the race was great.
