Best. Thing. Ever.

Stop +55 for Westy.👍👍

At Sebring I saw Michelin and continental tire trucks near each other

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

They've just shown another incident where Westbrook ran Brundle totally off the road, he deserves the same punishment Malucelli got for Sebring...

 

[Falcon787B]

#1 ESM car is stopped on track...that leaves ONE P2 car out there. Somehow I doubt that first P2 win will come today...

 

[IforceV8]

#1 HPD is broken

 

[cnd01]

Seeing Westy shove Brundle off in turn 5, that should be a penalty there. Dalziel off track with broken gearbox cluster. LMP2s crashing and unreliable at a track they have the advantage on. JVO can still win in the pole car though

 

[IforceV8]

HPD#2 caught and passed the 5 to take 2nd,now 9 sec behind the Mullet crew.

 

[Müle]

Van Overbeek getting argy bargy with traffic.

Really catching the 10, too. What's this about DP being faster still?

They're faster. Don't let the stopwatch and qualifying data get in the way of a conspiracy

Qualifying data is not relevant to the race. Did you not pay attention to the WEC thread yesterday?

 

[IforceV8]

Yeah watch those P cars make all those passes out of the low speed corners,its awesome to watch.

Oh yea, HSV knows all, so Q times are the exact opposite of relevant You win the internet for the day

 

[IforceV8]

Fisi got DP'd

 

[cnd01]

JVO in the lead

 

[aarror]

Overbeek! Hellz yeah!

 

[ProjectWHaT]

is the race still on? I was busy the whole day today

 

[cnd01]

Let's see who has the fuel to get to the end. First car that's for sure good is the Marsh racing car in 5th

 

[aarror]

Yeah, they could all just run out of fuel. That'd be hilarious

 

[cnd01]

Yeah, they could all just run out of fuel. That'd be hilarious

Then it would be 31, 90, then Mazda?

 

[cnd01]

Pruett in for fuel

 

[IforceV8]

Wow 911 is driving dirty

 

[Müle]

Wow 911 is driving dirty

And he gets what he deserved. Nice bump and run.

Lets hope they don't take 2nd from the bimmer.

Give them both penalties so Fisi and Risi get 2nd

Penalize AJR!

Great day of racing! SRT leaves me disappointed again, but there's always the next one.

Well....

The Am race was awesome. No complaints.

The Pro race... Pretty solid too BUT...

The 90 blocked most of the time it was in the lead. He had 4 cars (DP's and P2's) queued behind him waiting during the first part of the race.
Later, Westbrook shoved Brundle off-track, he likely got annoyed and tried a REALLY optimistic move up turn 8. Westbrook then turned in on him and he was in the dirt, not able to get stopped.
I think both penalties were fair (Although the penalty on the 42 seemed like a hat on a hat: they were already way out of it. In Indy they wouldn't have gotten the drive-through), but it brings out an issue which was discussed in the pre-season...

The 5 was pushed into the Mazda P2, and the radiator was immediately broken on that car. If we're going to allow hard blocking (Looks at 90) then the LMP2 cars are at another disadvantage.

The BoP is perfect. Let's leave it like this, and focus on getting driving standards up.

Excellent race from both classes. Would've been an ESM 1-2 and probably a LMP2 sweep of the podium if Brundle didn't do his best Zanardi impersonation and if the gearbox would've held together for the 1 car.

GTLM drivers are getting really chippy, and this will be fun to watch at Belle Isle

BoP seems good

This assumes Westbrook wouldn't have put him in the wall at some point.
