We could've had a repeat of the 2011 le mans with the Corvette DP and the HPD. Dang unnecessary cautions
 
Still in caution. This is horrible. Can we get the green flag already. There is less than 30 minutes left.

How long does it take to go green?

NASCAR has to make sure that every blade of grass and gravel is in place cause they claim that..."THIS FINISH WILL BE AN EPIC MANUFACTURING"

Two races in a row I'll remind you.

Well surely, just 1x lap, 2 at most to get field together. X1 lap for P cars, x1 lap for GT, then x1 to form up / wave around. Not 25 mins.

All time caution record. Says all.
 
10 minutes to tow the car, 25 minutes to do the drive around and pit cycle I reckon
 
Not sure why people are saying the yellow makes the finish interesting. The race was pretty damn interesting already and now we lose 20mins of racing. WTF, are they trying to lose fans??
 
Please just go green. This is giving me high blood pressure.
 
20+ minute cautions, yay. They really need to fix this.
 
Even if they have to have a full course caution every time, just don't open the pits and get it back to green ASAP.

25 minutes is pretty pathetic. I don't think i've felt as much spit watching a race ever. Real travesty. 👎

Anyway betting a major wreck or a DP wrecks ESM.
 
It's about rain where I live. I might as well watch the rain, at least that is not under Yellow.

Why are they even trying? Fox Sports only bothered to show the start of this race. What kind of logic is that? I'm sorry but I don't care who wins the Big East Tournament.

Oh you mean to tow a car that shouldn't have had a full course caution thrown out to begin with. It's fine if you like the series we're all here because we are fans of enduro racing, but don't defend their inept ability to properly let these guys race.
 
Don't worry, Green White Checkers are coming later in season. We've been ready for 20 minutes commentators!

At this point, as soon as they go green there is going to be another caution. The longer they wait, the worse its going to get too because the drivers will have less time to make the passes they need. This is so stupid
 
Stupid caution and caution rules are stupid....

Que a spongebob *-- hours later* meme.
 
This has had nearly as much caution time as La Sarthe last year. In a race half the freaking length. Half.

I hope you know we aren't serious...we are being harsh and condescending toward the organizers if it us you are talking about...

The caution joke is thrown around because NASCAR has a majority stake in this series and thus it runs like their main Cup series.

We are going to go green.
 
About to go GREEN. All are ready and very little time til the end. Look for aggressive driving from here on.

At least they had a good reason for it at Le Mans. As Martin Haven just said on commentary, it'll look stupid this year as they're running local yellows with very strict speed limits instead.
 
Bourdais vs Dalziel. Bring it on.
