Drive through for the 48

The 4 has picked up like 5 spots in a lap, he's big mad.

Tandy, the Kevin Estre of Rene Rast's.

Yet another FCY. What a chaotic race.

Yet another FCY. What a chaotic race.

I don't think they've done 30 laps under green, quite messy.

Stop +60 for the #7 Porsche.

At this point I'd just penalize everyone for driving standards, it's absurd the amount of contact there's been.

CAR 7: PENALTY - INCIDENT RESPONSIBILITY WITH 10 - STOP + 60

Tandy was sleeping or what?

He thought he was Verstappen for a second and could do whatever he wants.

It‘s like a Forza lobby IRL

I've had a lot cleaner racing in Forza lobbies, to be fair. This is appaling, really.


Aaand that's race over. Nevermind, the 4 managed to back up the escape road.

Just when I thought BMW was safe..

Congrats on the 3 cars that didn't get involved into any contact or shenanigans, ie the BMWs and Spike. This race was a mess, and hopefully IMSA slaps some wrists because that kind of driving standards does not belong in pro racing.

Cool to see AO Racing win in LMP2!

I liked the racing under green flag conditions and I'm a little bit excited for next year when this will be an endurance race.

Some of the incidents were pretty stupid, this needs to change ._.

Looking at highlights, I'd have to agree. Elbows-out racing is nothing new in IMSA, but imo the quality of driving on display was pretty poor, which was only made worse by the multiple Full-Course Yellows during the race. Tandy's block on the #10 Cadillac in particular was very poor form.

But hey, BMW finally won a race in GTP, and a 1-2 at that. Granted, this should've been at least their 3rd win of the season, but I'll take what I can get, especially with their partnership with RLL coming to an end.

I think the GTDs (both Pro and Am) in particular were ridiculous today. The 27 Aston Martin vs the 57 AMG tussle in 5-6-7 was juvenile and has no place in serious racing, and the "pass" from the 021 Ferrari on the DXDT 36 Corvette in T6 with minutes to go was atrocious and deserved a penalty. But hey, Verstappen's been racing like this since he got in F1 and the FIA doesn't eally care, so why should IMSA?

Unlikely as it is, it would be awesome if they could get at least a Top-5 in either Indy or Road Atlanta. The SC63 showed some signs of competitiveness at Watkins Glen, so it'd be great if the car had something solid to show for it.

After reading this article youtube started to recommend me fia wec 2019 races. A total of 5 Lmp1 cars in the 8h bahrain race. Really sad... It sucks when manufacturers leaves the top category (and yes this includes for me vanwall, glickenhaus, isotta fraschini in the wec) ._.
