Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to get a picture of a Ford GT (what's the official race model name?) and a C7.R next to each other, on track or otherwise. For maximum freedom.
Bonus points if a Porsche is behind them.

I believe their garages are very close to one another.

So less than a half hour in, and the #67 Ford GT has an electrical problem, causing it to be stuck in 6th gear. It's back in the garage now, but the teamcar #66 has been battling for the lead. One of the cars it's battling is the SMP 488, which is basically the same color scheme. GT looks like it will be awesome this year.
The Ligier Honda's seem really fast just walking away from most of the field. The exception seem to be the Delta Wing which may be the fastest car out there right now.
It seems so fitting that all the Lamborghini's seem to be some hideous fluorescent color.

Yep! The Fords are having teething problems, but that's totally understandable.

Shame about the Delta Wing. That thing just has the worst luck.

The Radio Le Mans crew is saying that drivers are not respecting the local yellows, and that was a contributing factor to the Delta Wing accident.

15 hours to go, and it's still a hell of a fight in GTLM. Top 8 cars are covered by less than 11 seconds. Great race!

We're now into the last hour of the #Rolex24. I love this time--dirt and grime and visual evidence of the fight. (https://twitter.com/marshallpruett/status/693867036552884225)
