More importantly, fuck Eurosport and their ad breaks.
You get a short one every half-hour all day, then when the final hour starts you get looong ones every ten minutes.
Lets give that yellow cheater a penalty, com'on.
All it is now right in the world.

Not just him. Whole theater full of true believers just got rekt.
I went to sleep right after the race ended. Did we get any info on what happened to the 'Vette? I couldn't tell if he just destroyed a tire going too deep into the second chicane, then over the gravel. Or if he had a tire/brake problem already that caused that. Clearly he couldn't get it to stop after that point.
Tyler suggested, and it made sense as I had wondered if it would be an issue earlier but didn't think about it in the moment, if the brakes (which had been changed much earlier than usual due to a slow zone and/or safety car) finally gave out on him on the last lap.
Get that weak shit off my track
The FIA WEC commentary crew, with Allan McNish, were guessing it was brakes. The Radio Le Mans commentary crew were guessing it was a cut tire caused by the side swipe with the Aston Martin the lap before, or possibly toe link breakage. The damage to the car and the video I saw seemed to be to indicate it was a cut tire and not brake loss. The car also came across the line with the right front no longer rotating, like it had wedged itself from the suspension collapsing.

Toyota's suggestion for why the No. 7 suffered a clutch failure during the safety car period: When the No. 7 came out of the pits and was forced to stop at the end of pit lane and wait for the next safety car, another driver walking along the pit lane waved his hands at the No. 7 in a motion indicating he could enter the track, which he started to but the team told him to stop. The team thinks the repeated stopping and starting of the car in such quick succession damaged the clutch, and it failed to work once the safety car period ended.
That would be a driver from the Algarve Pro Racing LMP2 car, Vincent Capillaire, whose garage was at the end of pit lane.
