a 10KG weight penalty is like a slap on the wrist... those are some very small adjustments..

Both bmws were pretty competitive. Great job from BMW sandbagging all through qualifying.... then suddenly they can run with the Porsches.
Now both cars are hopelessly behind after technical issues. P9 and P 12 right now, three and four laps behind.

Only one M8 GTE left with 7 hours to go. The #81 is in P15 in GTE Pro, #82 retired following a crash with about 8.5 hours to go.
