it was just the live screen that was incorrect, the actual flag waver was correct, they waved the final lap flag signaling 1 to go but the screen said 2 to go. so race control was correct they just put up the wrong thing on the screen

What a strange finish. Great racing otherwise!

They could not STAND Cadillac to win 2 in a row. I caught it -- they cheat to move the Flag. We know Caddy was nailing them and that was their plan.

Watched 17 hours of it, didn't regret one single second. Such an amazing race, an insane fight until the very last minutes (not only in GTP). Really happy to see Porsche on top and BMW up to speed. WEC and the rest of the IMSA season are going to be an absolute treat I am sure. Proud of Porsche to put Germany on the top step and kudos to Cadillac for the fight till the line!

[@deyanbonchev663]

Hope WEC will be more competitive this season. In IMSA the differences are so close, but in WEC the Toyotas win by a lap or more (except Le mans).

[@calussy8040]

​@@deyanbonchev663I agree, but Le Mans could and should have been Toyota as well, the only reason why Ferrari won was because of the change of the balance of performance and even then, Toyota had a change but blundered it by hitting the wall at Arnage corner, after Indianapolis corner. Let's hope that there is a mixture of winners this year.

It looks like the Cadillac was lighter and more agile, enabling it to brake later. The Porsche on the other hand is heavier brake earlier but got more speed existing the corner.

[@danielriccardo6674]

And had better hybrid harvesting and efficiency

[@bkbaughn]

The Caddy was without question the fastest of the GTP cars but I think they mismanaged their electric energy a bit and allowed the more efficient Porsches to hang in just enough to get that pit stop lead... Short runs were more equal long runs were Caddilac all day. Great job by Porsche for their strategy.

This was the most painful coverage I ever watched live. Coverage like F1, and WEC usually have pretty decent coverage but this was just garbage. Ad’s every 5 minutes or less, no replays until the end of parts, replays of things I couldn’t care less about like the guy pressing the wrong button for fireworks, like I really don’t care. I wanna see my favorite manufactures race not some guy. This honestly was disappointing because the racing itself was awesome but this broadcast was the worse thing ever.

It was a great race. A circuit less than half the length of le Mans and several cars on the lead lap after 24hrs. There was a good battle between the Mercedes and the Ferrari for the GTD lead after a safety car in the morning too. I thought the officials got the timing wrong at the end but it seems that they decided to end at the scheduled 13.40 on the dot rather than compensate for a slightly late start.
