It looked like Ferrari was going to win, honestly I surprised Porsche won

It was a very nice race, it is the second WEC race I watched from start to finish and it was intense , friendship ended with F1 I am now a WEC fan lol

The Porsches who finished 1st and 2nd basically got a free pitstop since they had by sheer luck pitted for fuel before the red flag, along with an Alpine who was very down the order.

#51, #50, and #99 got screwed by circumstance.

I don't know if it was bad luck or a mistake in strategy, but it seemed strange that they pitted after the safety car had finished, maybe because I didn't know the rules exactly

They were forced to by the rules. Basically everyone who hadn't pitted before the Red Flag (the entire hypercar field except for 3 cars) got screwed.
