FCY, safety car deployed. Debris spotted on the front straight.

Ok folks, you have at least 20 mins to do important things in real life, depending if they let the cars to pit and then re-arrange them after that. :indiff:

IMSA Radio reported the same thing.

Mega battle for the lead developing between Rossi (#10 Acura) and Magnussen (#01 Cadillac). Rossi in front as I type this.

Right before the yellow, Magnussen sent it in the bus stop, took position, almost wrecked, Rossi took it back. This could be an awesome fight to the finish!

Let's hope so... lights out on the pace car!

Lights are off on the Safety car, we are going green!

The Acura seems to accelerate much better out the corners then the Cadillacs, but Caddies seem to have better brakes and reel the Acura's in in the corners.

#01 gets drive thru penalty for wheels turning during tire change
 
An utter shame for the #01 after Magnussen's pass at the bus stop, but Pagenaud in the #48 Caddy should still give Rossi some food for thought.

Meanwhile, the GTD lead battle between Mercedes and Ferrari rages on, with Ellis and Nielsen at the wheel of the #57 and #21 respectively.

Legit. I saw it happen. Unfortunate but that's the way it goes.
 
On a sidenote... word from IMSA Radio is that the #55 Mazda has overcome its 3-lap deficit over the DPi leaders.

And the GTD leaders have come together!

#57 Merc spins the #21 Ferrari into the tyres after clipping the inside grass at Turn 1. Both cars still running... but the #21 has a puncture.

There goes one of the best battles from the entire race...
 
GTD Ferrari and Mercedes get together in turn 1. Ferrari slight contact with tire barrier.

Edit: Ferrari has cut tire.

And the punting begins.
To be fair, the Ferrari really squeezed the Mercedes into that corner.

Pfaff Porsche is now in the garage. :(
 
Suspension and aero damage also reported on the #21; have to say that it did look like it squeezed the #57 onto the grass while trying to go around the outside.
 
Looks like the #31 Cadillac is back out on track. Sounds a bit healthier than before with a repaired exhaust according to IMSA Radio.

That being said, the #31's just come back in and is receiving attention to the front bulkhead.
 
Smoke coming out of the back of the #82 Dragonspeed car, but it's still circulating for now.
 
Interesting to hear Ron Fellows responding to IMSA Radio's questions about a potential Corvette prototype appearing in the near-future: "Never say never."

I mean, we had the Daytona Prototype and IMSA GTP versions, so the idea of a C8-styled LMDh wouldn't be too far-fetched in my opinion.

#5 Action Express Cadillac circulating very slowly with a right-rear puncture; Rockenfeller Kobayashi takes over the #48.

Proto #11 off at the bus stop. Some sort of problem with braking and shortcuts the chicane.

Broken brakedisc.
