There's a late apex turn in in that corner and Ricky dive bombed but apparently... no penalty! Amazing! American organization protecting the American driver!!! SICK!

:thinking:

Taylor had the line there, Felipe did late a reactive block... but muh yuro superiority I guess and stoopid mericans
 
I'd love

Barring a problem Gordon might be first driver to win NASCAR title and Rolex 24? Someone correct me here if I am wrong.

Seems that way. Only other driver that stood out in my mind was AJ Foyt who only won the Daytona 500 and 24 h.ours of Daytona.

Well he has raced a BMW and a Pontiac so.....
 
Heckuva finish there, nice debut for the Cadillacs!

As for Ford, well I do prefer them winning over the gussied up Beetle.
 
Any of the top 4 deserved the GTLM win.

Mixed feelings on the ending moments of the Prototype race.
 
So now that they're in P2 rulebooks, I guess the next reason to hate WTR and American teams is because they're not global P2 :lol:

If your interpretation of what you saw is THAT, I'm not even arguing with you.
 
And of course FOX ignores Ricky and interviews Gordon

I don't know what to say either, there was obviously a space, Ricky was aggressive, but Felipe obviously turned in way too late, and had a door way open.
 
Now that its over. What ever became of Dyson and Brumos racing?
 
I will say I find it funny that the people crying about Ricky's incident with the 5 are not saying a word about how the 5's sister car (31) cheaply blocked the 10 in a late restart and are ignoring the 5 shoving the 10 out of the way earlier during an earlier battle for the lead. AXR was just as culpable in the dirty driving game as WTR was at the end.
 
Gordon is the reason Rick doesn't get a stop and go penalty in the last lap so, it makes sense.

TBH the whole shebang surrounding Ford doesn't bother me, think of it what you will, but I support Ford simply because I really like the Ford GT, that's it, and they won GTLM fairly.

Ganassi's still a bunch of ****'s. Except the drivers, well, Brisco being the reverse exception because of his stupid driving earlier.

If only it wasn't Ganassi. I'll be less salty about them when they become available for customers in 2 years.
 


It was a few inches away from being a great optimistic pass but Taylor was just short in my view. Should have been a penalty.
 
@catamount39 I've never been a massive fan of Ganassi as a person, that much I'm sure. I'm just here because I love the Ford GT, I try and steer clear of politics :lol:
 
Fox just showed on board shot of the accident and from his point of view, there definitely was an opening for him to go in.
 
The 10 wasn't along side the 5, but he was on the inside lane down the straight for a good second before the 5 swerved onto the inside line

I agree about Ganassi, I was gutted when I heard they were chosen to run The Ford program. Always hated them, but loved Fords.
 
Now that they have the Daytona in the bag, I think Ford will push even harder at Sebring and Le Mans, going for tbe triple crown.
 
It's a racing incident, no conspiracy, no tube frame dinosaur to attack, just racing, Ricky saw an opportunity with the clock ticking down, Felipe left it open, closed down, it was too late, that was that.
