They were laps apart and laps ahead of the 4th place car so they formed up for a photo finish.

I opted for the 5.0 V8 when I bought my truck.

Wow, the Ford GT number 68 wins GT Pro class with the US team. Prototype Toyota with a 1 minute lead over Porsche with 6 minutes to go and has engine problem. Porsche 918 wins overall.

Yes 1, 3, 4, & 9. I noticed the cars continued to lap after the race. Like a Twin Navaho or Cessna 421 all turbo'd aircraft you run a cool down cycle when your on the ground. That is my guess here. For a first time out, not bad.
Shame on Fox Sports 1 in America as they were supposed to cover it, instead they have had nothing but GOLF. Un-Freakin' believable...

The lap after the finish is a tradition at Le Mans. All of the track safety crews grab a flag and come to the edge of the track to wave flags to honor the drivers and the drivers wave back to thank them for their support in the race.

Maybe it’s just me, but it seemed more than a lap, I kept waiting for them to pit and go to the podium and they kept going, and going...

Prototype Toyota with a 1 minute lead over Porsche with 6 minutes to go and has engine problem. Porsche 918 wins overall. How about that - the #5 car is leading, then fails on the final lap, allowing Porsche the overall win. Just like in McQueen's movie.

For some reason they de-tune it in the Explorer and F-150. In something like a big truck you need all the horses you can get.
