Um...what? So Duval crashes on the 11th and by this morning, the 12th they had the car rebuilt? That's amazing. While the car is rebuilt, Duval will be out for precautionary means. He will be replaced by backup driver Marc Gene. This was NOT a spare chassis or an additional car. They rebuilt Duval's Audi overnight.
IMO the real hero of Endurance race are the mechanics and engineers. They work flat out before the race and practice sessions to prepare and set up the car. Then stand by during the entire race, then have to pack up afterwards.

They could've been working for several days and nights non stop.

Do they have groups and shifts to take over so some can catch some decent sleep hours?
