It rained, it snowed and then it rained again. Then the sun came out and then it didn't. In between all of this the light was all over the place. Great opportunity to do something different.

The inclement weather did limit the track time, with FP4 being abandoned, the chance to try some of the more obscure parts of the track didn't present themselves.

1. #95 Aston Martin Racing - Aston Martin Vantage V8 (LMGTE PRO). Driven by Nicki Thiim / Marco Sorensen / Darren Turner. -- Essentially, I want one.

2. #6 Toyota Gazoo Racing - Toyota TS050 - Hybrid (LMP1). Driven by Stephane Sarrazin / Mike Conway / Kamui Kobayashi.

Nice set Dave! I like #3,4,and 8.

I might have cropped a little tighter on the last three,but that just personal preference.

Nice job.

It was an impressive "off" - The Gulf Porsche was always going to go push wide, yet the power and the grip of the LMP1 cars must make you feel as if you could drive around anyone. Just one of those racing moments. Everyone walked away and the dents will buff out :-)
