I only really had troubles 3 times during my 5 or so hours in the car. As I mentioned on the broadcast, most of the drivers in the P2's did a good job but there were, in this case, three that were either optimistic or difficult to read from my point of view as a GT driver.
One P2 driver went up the inside just at the turn-in point for Virage du Pont (The very fast and tight Left hander after Porsche Curve), meaning I had to drive in the marbles on the outside, hit the cerb and narrowly avoiding spinning off and hitting the barriers...
Later on I had one of the top 3 P2 drivers go up the inside in the following left-hander, meaning I had to take to the grass and gracing the barriers with my right door to avoid taking him with me off the track, had I turned into the turn as I should have done in accordance to the rules.
This 3rd one did get reported and looked at, so don't take too much into this, I've not watched it back but I think I have a decent idea of what happened.
In the early hours of the morning, Dawn on track, I had a P2 go by me just before the braking zone for 1 Ralentiseur (1st Mulanne Chicane) and broke and turned into the right to find a P2 there who much have come from pretty far back because I had no blue flag to warn me of him being behind me nor, because of the lighting at the time, were I able to spot his lights in the rear view camera at the start of the braking point, resulting in contact and me spinning rearwards into the graveltrap.
As the admins said, it was a racing incident and had I been maybe a bit more alert (with it being around 7:30 in the morning local time) I could have avoided hitting him but at the same time he could have waited a second or so and gotten me on the exit.
There were a few instances where P2's or GT's also poked their fronts inside of me, especially at Virage du Pont which was unnerving, had a spin there because I didn't know if the guy would send it up the inside or not but that was more my fault than his to be fair
But all in all, almost all P2's did a good job, it's just those few situations that brings down the fun of racing in the GT class. That said, I'm unable to drive the P2 because I have no idea how to read the traffic, I've done one practice race in a prototype, drove 4 laps of Sebring before I left realizing I would take more than myself off the track pretty soon.
