Hour 23: One to go! It seems to be just business as usual for everyone. The Racing for Holland Dome might be on its last leg however as it is parked in the garage--hopefully in the smoking section. Cadillac has sucked it up and gotten a car in the top ten. All four GM cars are in the top fifteen in fact.
If the 1 Audi can hold on to get the win it will be quite historic. Not only three in a row for Audi, but three in a row for the same driver line-up. Like it or not, that is quite impressive.
The LMP 675 class is in shambles with the MG retirements. The WR is leading but has an upright problem on the right rear. Their only competitor is the Del Bello Reynard who might just pull it out.

Hour 24: For the third year in a row it is an Audi sweep! But for the first time in history three drivers have one three consecutive years, no doubt this is the factor that will be remembered most.
Corvette gets their second 1-2 sweep in GTS.
American based Racers Group Porsche wins GT.
The last 5 minutes were FULL of drama in 675. The leading WR/Peugeot lost an upright in the previous hour and on the next to last lap they lost another. Somehow they made it around for the final lap but will unfortunately be excluded from the results because their last lap was not under 6 minutes. A true shame and heartbreak to go for so long yet come up completely empty handed.
WHEW what a day! Time for some sleep...
