They're driving the ZR1s, right? What's the deal with those, are they relatively stock, or completely torn down and rebuilt for the race?

#55 BMW M3 in the pits/garage for a misfire problem. That'll put them back a lap or two.
They were one of the worries for the us Vettes!

ACO will revisit the Amateur regulations after this race. Granted that kind of thing could happen at night with a 20 year vet, but they'll revisit nonetheless.

O.Beretta had to get outta the car cause he was complaining of feeling sick from fumes from following the pace car too long. After being checked out they are saying it is very serious and he may not be able to return to the #73 car. The other two might have to fight it alone the other 14hrs....

Yep, he was slowly tracking him down before heading into the pits for normal service.

The #74 is now coming in...
