The last two hours of the 75th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans had its share of excitement, with Mother Nature throwing the proverbial monkey wrench into plans of the teams, by introducing another heavy shower for the remainder of the race.
Teams immediately switched to rain tires, and continued as best they could until several team managers complained that the conditions were too bad to continue at racing speeds. Initial requests for the safety car were not met, until team managers approached the race director in a group and made their demands.
