#50 car looks like it's been chasing hard. I saw they had the puncture early, but was there another setback after that? Seems like they keep getting close to being back in the mix, then dropping back again.

Now look what you've done.

:p
 
Big damage on the #50, which was on the lead lap and in the top 10 for GTD.

There was about 2-3 laps of green after nearly an hour of yellow due to the rain.

Rene Rast was extending his lead in clean air while the #10 was stuck in traffic.

Oops.

Onboard replay showed the damage was caused by a single car spin at turn 1, hitting the inside wall just past pit exit.
 
Does anyone know what the pair of 4 figure numbers are on the bottom of the scoring tower?
 
How bout that GTLM battle?

If it's like Indianapolis, those last numbers scroll through the rest of the field beyond what fits on the numbered section of the tower.
 
In the 3hrs since I went to bed the GTLM group of 8 cars have gained a few laps on the overall lead.

Some of the Prototypes are looking very nervous in these conditions, especially heading back onto the banking. Have even seen GTLM cars passing P cars, though I'm not 100% on how competitive those P cars are at this stage of the race.
 
PC spins! Drink!

The problem they are having is they are using the old DP spec tire was designed for a much heavier car. This heavier rain and low track temps are just killing them.
 
Caution for weather again.
 
9 Hours to go...
 
I"m going back to sleep, this rain isnt going away any time soon.
 
Caution. Ducks crossing the straight-away. Sounds legit.
 
I took this rain opportunity to nap for 2 hours. It's still cold here. Sunrise video get though.
 
Something other than a Cadillac is leading, red flag it now!

E - #8 PC crashes under safety car
 
#8 PC goes off behind the Safety Car. :ouch:
 
Riding onboard with the #10 Dallara breaking for the bus stop and a GT car comes flying past, breaking half a straight later. That would be a GTLM BMW on Michelin's.

E - #90 is dropping like a stone but I remember thinking their tyres didn't look like full wets a while ago when they stopped (that was a wide angle from rooftop Ray though), not sure why they would do that so it's most likely an illusion.
 
There's a shocker. The #8 going backwards. :lol:
 
Pity that Albuerque/barbosa, lost the lead. was rooting for them
 
Race Control is asking teams to turn off their rain lights now.
