24 HEURES DU MANS | 12:00:00

One of the things I love about Le Mans is the sense of community. No, I am not in France; no, I am not even watching the race alongside any friends here at home; but in many ways I am in sync with those at the Circuit de la Sarthe, so close in emotion even though so distant in miles. Up & down the pit lane, everyone the pit reporters interview is heartbroken for Toyota, again: déjà vu-link.

Here's where we stand, halfway through the twice-around-the-clock classic:

L.M.P.1
1) № 1 Porsche 919 Hybrid
2) № 2 Porsche 919 Hybrid (+18 laps)
3) № 8 Toyota TS050 Hybrid (+29 laps)

L.M.P.2
1) № 31 Vaillante Rebellion Oreca 07-Gibson (+9 laps)
2) № 38 Jackie Chan DC Racing Oreca 07-Gibson (+9 laps, 24 seconds)
3) № 13 Vaillante Rebellion Oreca 07-Gibson (+9 laps, 1:02 minute)

G.T.E. Pro
1) № 95 Aston Martin Vantage (+23 laps)
2) № 97 Aston Martin Vantage (+23 laps, 5 seconds)
3) № 71 A.F. Corse Ferrari 488 (+23 laps, 56 seconds)

G.T.E. Am
1) № 84 J.M.W. Motorsport Ferrari 488 (+25 laps)
2) № 90 T.F. Sport Aston Martin Vantage (+26 laps)
3) № 77 Dempsey-Proton Racing Porsche 911 RSR 991 (+26 laps, 13 seconds)
