Was Michael blocking for Larry Wilson at the end of the race?

Tough one to say positively. You see, the 917's that Michael & Larry are driving are 20 mph (33 kmh) faster when at top speed. So why isn't Delaney just barging past a much slower Wilson? One wrong move from either Porsches & the Ferrari could be through. Or any combination of disaster could beset any or all cars.

I am not sure about these days but then it was ALL about 'what' passed the line rather than 'who'.

Yea, cause Delaney kept running Stahler off the road at the end there. Thats whats make me think he was blocking for Larry.
