Was this because they changed the wrong tire?? Was the sensor faulty?? Car 7 had an appx 1 min 30 sec lead over the sister car and lost it all when it stopped twice to deal with tires and sensors. The sister car 8 inherited the lead and won by 17 sec.
Audi's withdrawl from the FIA World Endurance Championship created a massive hole in the competition....unsure how any top LMP1 team would fare against the Audi if they were still in it.

As much as I'd like to see Audi back in it as well, Toyota went head to head with Porsche when they were still around and led the entire race in 2016, then had electronic issues with 10 mins left when Porsche passed them. The TS050 has been an amazing car for Toyota.
