Has anyone seen what's happening here? Just been through the sport pages in our Sunday paper and there isn't a single line about this classic! Nothing on the BBC sport pages up to last night and it started at 2.00pm.

Just found reports and video on Autosport.com site mate. Thank you.

Been putting Eurosport 1 on to keep up to date, Toyota’s (Alonso) to lose. Wheels still spinning whilst on the jacks at last pit stop may yet come in to play.
Went to Le Mans many moons ago (1986) what an atmosphere, Jags were racing then, but if I recall they all dropped out, but they came back and had success.
Jensen Button just been on, racing a Ford GT, he’s doing last stint to the finish.
 
Alonso’s sister car (in 2nd place) crawling round in limp mode, 80kph trying to get back to pits. Tension in Toyota garage.
 
Commentator said has the rule book been shelved!!! No sanction for spinning wheels. Politics have come in to play they reckon, seems Alonso HAS to win.
Still a good race though.
 
Toyota 1st & 2nd, Alonso wins. Everybody’s happy.
 
Poor old Jenson, car stops on circuit with approximately 30mins to go when lying 3rd in class. Racing is cruel sometimes.
