One thing I like is the swift calls of incidents from the stewards.... there was just an incident with contact between a n Aston and Corvette with both going off (both continuing after they got back to the track). The racing incident call was made within 30 seconds.
Lol, the Aston involved called into the pits after and then hit the pit wall exit on his own as he departed and damaged the car!

Lol.... just heard one of the drivers could only find one glove as he was about to get into the car.... borrowed another set of gloves, went out, then mid session was complaining his helmet didnt seem to be fitting well or very comfortable, and was a bit painful.
Guess where they found the missing glove at the end of the session!
Not sure who it was.

We had the longest ever IMSA green flag duration earlier (apparently).... over 7 hours green.

Silly error from the #10. Racechanging as it will be best part of a lap lost with pitlane and stop.erwin greven wrote: ↑4 years ago Race Control

Yep. Nielsen's Lamborghini caught fire. Later another FCY. #47 Lamborghini came to a halt. The GTLM class is delivering now. 911, M8, 911, Corvette and 488 within 5 seconds.

And the #10 Cadillac is back in the lead (Kobayashi at the wheel) despite going down a lap with its 60 sec stop penalty for the pit lane exit light oversight / fuck up by Briscoe.
The #5 Cadillac is running third in a Mazda sandwich.
Have to say the Cadillacs seem to be very comfortable whereas the Mazda pair look a bit scary when pushed to the limit. Especially when they are dealing with traffic.
Good battle in the GTLM class, the BMW hanging on by a few secs atm but the lead is very changeable..
GTD also close.
Just under three hours to go.

The #55 Mazda seems to be struggling a bit and has dropped a place. The Accura has passed and put a lap on it. Apparently a turbo issue.
4 Cadillacs in the top 7 (1st , 3rd, 6th and 7th), 2 Mazdas (2nd and 5th) and a sole Accura in 4th. Just over 2 hours to go.

0.2secs between the two leading Lambos in GTD and also 0.2 between the #912 Porsche and the #24 BMW in GTLM. The Ferrari just got a drive through but just stayed on the GTLM lead lap.
In LMP2 Harrison Newey has a huge (10+laps) lead over the nearest P2 challenger.
Kobayashi in the #10 Caddy now leading by over 30 seconds in the overall standings..

Now the #5 is showing 3rd again so must have pitted as well.
The GTLM #62 Ferrari of Colado, which recently got a drive through has now also got a puncture and limped back to the pits. Lots of tyre chords wrapped around suspension so not going to be a quick stop.

The #62 Ferrari has called it a day after the puncture damage.
Meanwhile the GTLM lead battle is still intense, though the BMW leads as the previously leading #912 Porsche has just made a pit stop. Just under an hour and a quarter to go.

Ooops dept.... I misread the live timing sheets and Newey leads LMP2, but 'only' by a single lap, not the 10 I mentioned..Everso Biggyballies wrote: ↑4 years ago

Under an hour to go now, still the #10 Cadillac of Kobayashi leads overall and DPi. Newey leads LMP2 and the #911 Porsche leads GTLM from the BMW with the #912 on BMW the bumper, but I think they all need another stop each. The BMW is now right up with the #911.
In GTD the two Lambos lead although the #48 Lambo now leads the #44 by 12 secs.
