It shows the 77 as being in last for the class on live scoring. What's going on?

I hope that's wrong, and he is still running second. They were doing so good earlier in the race, in 2nd closing in on 1st. To go from that to last in class is a massive disappointment. There's still a lot of race to go, we're only about a quarter of the way in, but it's sad to see the mustang struggling to compete all season. Ford really needs to go mid engine to have a chance.

It's front suspension broke it's spent a long time in the pits. It's 22 laps down on the next car and it's back in the pits for now. There are other 'stangs in the race
So the dream is over. They were basically the only mustang that stood a chance at the podium, let alone the win. There's one mustang in 6th, but I don't see them being able to do much. Still a lot of race left to go, but they're off the pace.

I saw the 77 earlier with left front wheel flopping around. They pulled it in the garage and took the whole front end off to repair. I didn't see what caused it. Good to see it is back out.

Finishing 11th as the top mustang wouldn't be great, or terrible. Just disappointing. At least all three mustangs are still running. The 77 had suspension issues, a shame considering it was challenging for the lead. Was 20 laps down, and was hit again. But they're still going.

A podium for Mustang!! Well done!! 🏁 🏆
Proton, in addition to finishing third in class, brought a second car home in the top-five when the No. 44 Mustang GT3 driven by John Hartsthorne, Ben Tuck and Christopher Mies finished fourth

couple more interesting tid-bits: Ford is the only manufacturer with 2 cars in the top 5, and the only manufacturer in the top 5 to not have a hypercar (top class prototypes) in the race.
