Toyota is crazy fast.
hate to say it but I'm pulling for them to lose again this year if anything just because I want Mazda to continue being the only Japanese manufacturer to have claimed victory at LeMans.

Maybe electrical Gremlins will strike them again late in the race.

I too am hoping Mazda remains the only Japanese manufacturer to win overall at Le Mans, but yes that is freakin' fast !

Well Porsche lmp1 car wins, Toyotas all suffer mechanical issues. Mazda still only Japanese manufacturer with overall Le Mans win. BTW Jackie Chan-owned lmp2 car finishes second overall and wins lmp2 class after leading overall till overtaken by Porsche ( a faster lmp1 car, back from a mechanical fix) in last hour.
