Did they just say that the leading Acura is going to do one more stop, or am I just hearing things?

Stop for the #62 Ferrari.

 

[VulcanSpirit]

I don't think so... but either way, the fight is on!

 

[Savolainen83]

Me watching the DPI battle:

 

[AnthonyD1993]

So of the top 4, the 48 was the fastest. I don't think the 55 and 48 will get there, but man oh man it would be insane if it somehow turned into a 4 car battle for the win.

They really went to commercial didn't they... 🤬

 

[BrainsBush]

10 minutes Renger, 10 minutes!

 

[raven214]

I swear we've seen more of the race during commercial breaks (thank goodness for side-by-side) than during coverage, what with all the interviews and flashbacks. Sheesh.

 

[VulcanSpirit]

Still in the loop on IMSA.com in the UK - the #10 remains in front.

UPDATE: PUNCTURE FOR VAN DER ZANDE!

 

[Savolainen83]

Puncture ends the battle. Acura takes the win unless something unnatural happens.

 

[BrainsBush]

flat tire for Renger

 

[MatskiMonk]

Flat with 7 mins to go sucks hard.

 

[Jezza819]

🤬🤬🤬

 

[VulcanSpirit]

Heartbreak for the #01 car - and on the same tyre as the last puncture.

Mazda up to 2nd, but Albuquerque over 5 seconds ahead with five minutes on the clock.

Update: Kobayashi takes 2nd for the Ally Caddy!

 

[MatskiMonk]

Kamui's had Tinkers.

 

[Savolainen83]

Kobayashi has passed the Mazda into 2nd place!

 

[VulcanSpirit]

White flag!

 

[Firehound427]

CHECKERED FLAG!

Congratulations to the

Wayne Taylor Racing wins the 3rd Rolex 24 at Daytona in a row!

 

[raven214]

Corvette finishes 1+2 in GTLM. Mercedes 1+2 in GTD. Good race!!

 

[VulcanSpirit]

Acura announced last week that they were going to be sticking around for LMDh, and what a way to celebrate.

Congratulations to every class winner! First time I've followed live coverage of the 24 Hours of Daytona and what a race it's been!

 

[Savolainen83]

Congratulations to the winners!


And thanks to you ladies and gentlemen on this thread. I'll see you again on the Nürb 24h thread in may.


Until then bye, and thanks for the company.

 

[Dylan]

Shame we didn't get the finish we all wanted to see, but man was the rest of the race great.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

IMSA Radio said that Antonio Garcia tested positive for Covid-19 mid race and was pulled from the event.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Gutted for van der Zande. Shame that drama in the last laps of the race robbed us of drama for the last laps of the race. Quality stuff overall, though.

 

[Blitz24]

IMSA Radio said that Antonio Garcia tested positive for Covid-19 mid race and was pulled from the event.

That's not good. It means that hypothetically, everyone at the Corvette team AND everyone at Wayne Taylor's team needs to be quarantined.

I have this as the wallpaper for my phone if anyone wants to use it. If anyone can edit it and have just blue covering where it says Daytona and all the text under it because it's in the way of my phones time and date making it hard to read. Congrats on all the winners it was a hell of a race.

Daytona had the highest ratings for an IMSA race since 2008.
