Nice!

I don't see the #5 recovering from this crash. The team is 13 laps down and counting now. There's no way that all other DPi's will have issues like this.

KMag seems to be fitting in ok.... back in the #1 car and leading overall. Only car lapping faster is the Mazda back in P6 overall

Chip Ganassi Racing has been solid ever since the green. They very well could win.

Approximately 13 hours remaining.

Filipe Albuquerque has taken the DPi lead in the #10 Konica Minolta Acura. Cadillac might have competition after all.

Tristan Vautier was NOT penalized after all. Details on the crash:
https://racer.com/2021/01/30/rolex-24-hour-10-cgr-leapfrogs-action-express/ wrote:The hour was highlighted by the No. 5 JDC Motorsports Cadillac going to the garage after Tristan Vautier encountered trouble in the form of a dust-up with the No. 16 Wright Motorsports Porsche 911 of Jan Heylen. Extensive repairs have left Vautier and the team over 20 laps down in the DPi class.

Race control rescinded an incident penalty initially given to the JDC Motorsports team after it was determined that the accident started when Heylen was hit by another competitor, and Vautier was inadvertently collected.

6 hours 30mins to go and the top 5 overall are covered by a handful of seconds
More surprising is atm Accura are 1-2 with KMag in the leading Cadillac 3rd. Having said that KMAg has just moved to 2nd.
Not sure if that is more a pit stop influenced lead though

Full course caution.

One of the cars ran through the banners, causing a debris caution.
