Wondering if #8 Toyota will go out before #2 Porsche?

Garage mechanic battle!

 

[Michelin Man]

Noo, #66 off, went to get a drink, what happened?

 

[05XR8]

Ford playing in the sand...

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

No, Ford GT down!

Noo, #66 off, went to get a drink, what happened?

Lost the rear and spun it into the barrier.

 

[Silent Drifter]

Front right tire looks jammed on the Ford GT. Mostly likely from all the gravel in it, looks good now.

 

[Michelin Man]

Darnit, whilst the #66 wasn't quite in the battle for the lead, it was vying for a podium, so this is a huge blow, will put it down a lap or 2 sadly .

Noo, #66 off, went to get a drink, what happened?

The sandbags leaked onto the rear tyres and he spun.

 

[jake2013guy]

Ford's sandbags have broken.

 

[catamount39]

Ford half-shaft or suspension is busted.

 

[[Nor]MclarenF1]

Ha ha! Race control dishing it out over sand covering the track.

 

[Michelin Man]

The sandbags leaked onto the rear tyres and he spun.

Ford's sandbags have broken.

You jokers.

Looks like it may have a puncture, or even suspension damage, as it limped back to the pits.

Edit: yea looks like substantial suspension damage, may have failed into Indianapolis, thus causing the accident. And now the safety car's out.

 

[Michael88]

''Can you please ask your driver kindly not to leave gravel all over the road? '' - Race director.

 

[Dennisch]

Ha ha! Race control dishing it out over sand covering the track.

He dumped a serious amount on the track.

Safety car for the litter??

 

[Vinylshark]

Safety Car for whatever reason?

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

You jokers.

Looks like it may have a puncture, or even suspension damage, as it limped back to the pits.

Yeah, maybe right rear down from the angle it is pointing at.

 

[Savolainen83]

BMW SAFETY CAR!!!

 

[Silent Drifter]

Safety Car

 

[Dennisch]

Yup. Gravel caution zones 25 and 26 because of car 66.

 

[[Nor]MclarenF1]

Blame the leaky sandbags.

 

[Silent Drifter]

Safety Car to remove gravel from race track, left from #66 Ford GT.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Safety car 👎

 

[catamount39]

I love how he specifically made sure to mention "left by car #66". xD

 

[jake2013guy]

"We have a Safety Car because of Olivier Pla who lives at [address] and his phone number [Pla's phone number]." - Eduardo Freitas. Probably.

 

[GTFan24]

THE ALMIGHTY BIMMER SAFETY CAR HAS EMERGED!

 

[catamount39]

"We have a Safety Car because of Olivier Pla who lives at [address] and his phone number [Pla's phone number]." - Eduardo Freitas. Probably.

^The IM sent to all the teams.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

A BMW M2 safety car, neat.

 

[Michelin Man]

Now that the safety car is out, just need him to harness is inner DK, and do some sideways antics, after last years sideways Audi moment .

 

[[Nor]MclarenF1]

One M2 to rule them all!

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Ford GT 66 wants to share its gravel treasure.

Race director informs everyone who to hate as a result. Justice!
