It is quite tricky to follow the leader board because cars keep popping into the pits and it looks like they have lost track position but then the car in front of them must also pit ..
I think there is a lot more overtaking past a pitted car at the moment than there is overtaking on the track.
That said, there is a Toyota #07 being driven by Kamui Kobayashi is now in second place and looking fast

In the lead is Toyota #08
2nd #51 Ferrari, ( Just 7 seconds behind) what a comeback that must have been as last I saw it was beached in a gravel trap and unable to move
3rd #02 Cadillac racing
These 3 cars have done 202 laps
Ferrari #50 which I have been following has left the pits and is back on the track now in what seems to be a slow zone or perhaps full course yellow, Perhaps I can see where it is placed now ...

Time for some more pictures from 2003.
At the end of the race there is a mad rush for the exits for Brits who don't have Monday as a holiday are trying to get to the ferries. Some even leave before the end. This year we decided to leave early and stop at a cafe and watch the cars come by in case there was anything special.
Here are some of the Brits making their way home:
Nice TVR don't know what type ..
Bently
Ducati
Don't know and badge is blurry, my guess is another Bentley
I have no clue what this is
That is a Noble
E-Type Jag
911
I have no idea what this car is but the passenger had a high power water gun and sprayed the whole of the cafe with water as they came past. And there were otherw with the spraying
Lovely old red Porsche

The two lead cars have both done 26 pit stops
And they, Ferrari #51 and Toyota #8 are separated by only 7 seconds with at the moment what seems to be another full course yellow.
5 hours of racing, too early to call and the Cadillac #2 is only 3 minutes behind them ready to pick up the pieces if the front two take each other off.

#51 is now 21 seconds in front of the Toyota. Looks like the Ferrari is just quicker than the one remaining Toyota.
There has been another crash out on the circuit - too many safety cars and yellow flags this year, lets the following cars catch up with the cars in front without justification. Wonder what they will do this time ..
