LeMans 24 Hour 21: #1 Porsche fails, LMP2 car now leads LeMans

#2 Porsche now has a chance to win
#2 Porsche now has a chance to win

We are down to 3 hours to go at LeMans and the leading #1 Porsche LMP1 is out of the race and the #38 LMP2 Oreca leads but they are in the pits making repairs and the #2 Porsche that was at one time 20 laps behind is gaining and could now take the overall win.

The battle in LMGTE-Pro is fantastic with the #97 Aston Martin 1-second ahead of the #63 Corvette by doing 2 less pitstops than the Corvette.
