2013 Rolex 24 at Daytona (Grand-Am)

[Wilbur]

well that's was a nice nap listening to race engines! Oops

Atleast I haven't missed a ton though

 

[Savolainen83]

Had to restart my laptop, why the current caution?

 

[Mechs]

Wow. 22 pages! Had a lot of reading to do!

 

[Mac K]

Had a couple hours of sleep, I'm back..

 

[Mechs]

Welcome back. And for the record, following a 24 hour race through live timing is horrible. I'm never doing this again .

EDIT: Also there were a few teams I was keeping my eye on in GT, but they aren't doing so well.

 

[Savolainen83]

Wow. 22 pages! Had a lot of reading to do!

Just wait until the Nürb 24h and Le Mans roll around.

 

[MustangManiac]

Good morning, after 4 hours of sleep I am ready to go to the end. Montoya hasn't wrecked anybody yet? Nice to see someone in GT lead other than a Porsche...go Ferrari

 

[Mechs]

Just wait until the Nürb 24h and Le Mans roll around.

I'll be back home for those (well at least for Le Mans) So I'll be able to keep up a bit better.

 

[MustangManiac]

The 02 straight to the garage...that's usually not good.

You spoke too soon man. Magnus Racing's Porsche GT3 is now leading . but that probably won't last. I guess the Ferrari and Audi pit?

"I have this grapefruit. You can have it if you give a little push."

Even with the clarification, that made me giggle. Might have something to do with the fact i've been up all night.

 

[R0ssingt0n]

"I have this grapefruit. You can have it if you give a little push."

And that is one of the many reasons why the Radio Le Mans guys are great.

 

[Mac K]

I have a strange craving for bacon and grapefruit now..

 

[Savolainen83]

And that is one of the many reasons why the Radio Le Mans guys are great.

And the closer to the finish we get (and the sleepier the guys get) the more hilarious they get.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Does anybody know where the track went?

 

[R0ssingt0n]

And the closer to the finish we get (and the sleepier the guys get) the more hilarious they get.

It's brilliant!

 

[CheersMate]

Oh my god, where does the fog come from? I took a shower and 10 minutes later you can't even see the track

 

[Savolainen83]

Thermal imaging would be nice at the moment.

I blame the hippie Porsche.

 

[R0ssingt0n]

Well that fog came down quick...

 

[01GTP]

Does anybody know where the track went?

Wan't the race stopped a few years ago due to fog?
Maybe fog mixing with the smoke from fires.
Maybe 2 separate stories there.

Yellow for fog.

 

[R0ssingt0n]

Hopefully the fog will lift fairly quick.

 

[MustangManiac]

Hopefully the fog will lift fairly quick.

According to MRN the yellow is for the officials, they can't see. If that is the case it is going to be awhile until before the sun comes up and burns it off.

 

[01GTP]

They just said the stop a couple years ago was 2.5 hours.
Hopefully not today.

 

[MustangManiac]

Might as well take advantage of this caution and go make some breakfast

 

[01GTP]

They need 1 of 2 things to happen, and I hope it's soon.
They need the wind and/or temps to rise.
The dew point and temp are very close which makes the fog.

I doubt the wind will pick up much.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

It looks like it's clearing

 

[Furinkazen]

Morning all, anyone got a stream per chance?
