Wow, what an ending.

That's why you always race until that final checkered flag drops.

LOL,, it sure would look like that. With the way Ford sandbagged practice and of the way the BoP was handed out after practice - it has the appearance of a conspiracy.

It's still showing ford/ferrari/ford on official timing.....

The stewards must be thinking this one over.

Ferrari refused to stop...good for them. Make the stewards nut it up if they're going to fix the finish.

The #64 Corvette did not finish while the #63 did finish. . . dead last of the running GTE Pro cars. We were behind the Ford GTs, Ferrari 488s, and the Aston-Martin Vantages

Not according to the FIA WEC scoring site.

It was 3rd from last, with a P-car and Ford GT behind it of the cars that finished.

I didn't see what the BoP adjustments were made to the C7R after practice, they did give them back 3mm on the restrictors - but they only had 2mm larger ones. So not sure how much of a difference all of that would have made. But they were still several seconds a lap slower than the GT40s and Ferrari's.

Maybe now the C7.R's won't be "equalized" every race and forced to carry extra weight and restrictors. It's ridiculous, if a team builds a fast car within the rules, then why are they "equalized"? drive me nuts.

It really has nothing to do with that. Look at the Daytona 24... dominate, racing down to the last lap.

...and then comes BoP.

With a little BoP the other way, the Vettes drive away like the Fords did. It's hard to win a race when you have a parachute hanging out the rear of the car.
