As the final segment of the race began to kick in, the 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans began to shape up to be a much different race than anyone would have predicted at the start. Only one Toyota had stuck it out in the front, and Rebellion Racing instead looked to be the team set to secure a double podium. A sense of calm had firmly set in as the sun rose, but anything can still happen in the final four hours.

The No. 8 Toyota has extended its lead much further over the No. 1 Rebellion Racing machine after the latter was wheeled into the garage for repairs. The No. 1 lost a lap, and it also lost second position to its sibling car.

The maligned No. 7 Toyota maintained its fourth place overall position and looked fairly strong, but regaining its lost lap will prove to be a difficult challenge that will likely play out in these upcoming final four hours.

It’s been a similar story for the leaders of the other classes: each has managed to pull ahead of its nearest competition. That said, nothing is guaranteed. We could still see massive shakeups before the end of the race, as drivers grow simultaneously hungrier and more exhausted.

If you haven’t hunted down a place to watch this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, you can find it on MotorTrend TV in the United States and Velocity in Canada.

Rally Driver + Trees = No
Rally Driver + Trees = No
Volkswagen World Rally Championship driver Andreas Mikkelsen tried his hand at golf the other day, and ended up in the trees. Perhaps he should stick to rally? This is further proof that rally drivers and trees aren’t a good mix. Also, this is when I’d drop a new ball away...

Sharing A Track With A Porsche 918 Makes For A Very Good Day
Ever had a day so nice that you get Ice Cube’s “” stuck in your head all day? That was my afternoon. The weather was perfect, my car was track-worthy again, and someone brought a 918 Spyder to the track. Not to a car show. Not to the Porsche corral...

Did The F1 GTR's Tricky Headlamps Give McLaren The Victory At Le Mans?
The thing about the 1995 McLaren F1 GTRs is that they were race cars which ended up being heavier and less powerful than the road cars they were based on. But that was still good enough for a 1-3-4-5 at Le Mans. McLaren people will tell you that than F1...
