Can a GTD car hold off a GTD pro car?

Yes. Heart of Racing proving that for the past several hours.

#70 McLaren 720S GT3 in 1st

Can a GTD car hold off a GTD pro car?

I can't see why not. Only difference is driver lineup and the ProAm drivers could be diamonds in the rough.

27 and 57 have both been quicker than the 79 GTD Pro leader. I think #3 and #14 are fighting for 2nd place in Pro, the Merc's have a little more top end.

Well, that escalated quickly.

Horrible, unwatchable final 2 hours once again.

 

[IforceV8]

Well, that escalated quickly.

The LMP3 cars car flying into the field right before the green and screwed everything up.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Oh man, out with 30 mins to go... and another Porsche is slowing.

Yellows breeding yellows

#57 with the GT Sport Mode dive and it doesn't work out for him.

You can take the 57 out of the mix now.

 

[Dylan]

Pour one out for the Winward team.

[Savolainen83]

Hopefully they just sweep off the bits and pieces and let the race continue as soon as possible.

We don't need multiple laps behind the safety car just because someone lost their rear bumber on the side of the track.

 

[Savolainen83]

#60 gets a warning for drivetrain related issues.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Garcia goes 2nd in GT pro.

 

[MatskiMonk]

1 to go, 1 to go.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Congrats to Meyer Shank. Great job..

Mike says "**** YEAH"

 

[Dylan]

Proton LMP2 gets it at the line!!

 

[Tired Tyres]

Pass for the lead in P2 right on the line.

 

[JackRyanWMU]

THAT LMP2 FINISH!!

16 Hundreths of a Second!

 

[Blitz24]

Allen squeaks by Hanley at the line.

Wow Wow Wow

 

[Savolainen83]

Well that was something, except for the LMP3:s.

Thanks for the company fellas, I'm out now, but I'll be back for the Nürb 24h.

 

[Dylan]

0.016 the gap in LMP2. Wow!

A superb race to usher in the new GTP era, with less issues for the new cars than perhaps expected. A brilliant battle upfront, giving a bit of deja-vu from the last few years with Acura v Cadillac. Ultimately, it's Acura's that prevail once again, with a perfect 1-2 as far as I'm concerned . With MSR repeating last years victory superbly, certainly had to work for it though. Blomqvist probably the standout driver there, been on fire the whole weekend. Nice to see Braun finally get his call-up.

Porsche and BMW still with work to do it given their issues, but it is still very early days for these LMDh cars, lest we forget. The rough, brutal nature of Sebring will be a really big test once again. In for a fascinating IMSA season...

GTD as a whole delivering the goods, producing fantastic close racing once again. Hell of a finish in LMP2, the #55 timed that run to perfection...

Both the Caddie and the Acura are the pick of the lot from a sound perspective in my opinion. But the awesome shriek of the Acura's V6 edges it for me, onboards sound especially good.
