ALMS Monterey (Laguna Seca 5/12)

[Tower Turn 13]

Gonna have to try out the onboards. Might not work for me in the U.S. I'll try.

Hoping 007 AM can make his way back up some. A lap back on BMW last I checked.

 

[Tower Turn 13]

Say what? What happened to Montagny? I stepped out and didn't see.

Sent the JDX porsche into the wall by pit lane. Both cars out.

Correction M3 GTR in the lead of GT Lizards are 2nd

 

[Furinkazen]

Dyson not happy. 2 and half minute penalty?!

 

[Wardy 944]

Dyson not happy. 2 and half minute penalty?!

I predict they'll finish second in class

Not like a win was possible for them.. Unless Muscle Milk complete destroys their car.. I hate to say it, but the P1 class is such an embarrassment to ALMS, only two cars running in it with the leader several laps ahead? Not very exciting... GT on the other hand, look at how exciting the racing is there!

 

[Furinkazen]

GT battle is epic.

EDIT BMW disintegrating, that was risky.

Not really any different than the European series where Audi destroys the rest of the field. I liked it better when MM was in an Aston Lola, closer racing. But I also like watching this GT battling.

 

[Furinkazen]

Can someone explain GTC to me - is it just a 1 make for old Porsche 911's?

 

[Tower Turn 13]

They're spec GT3 cup 911s I believe. Kind of like how LMPC are all those Orecas.

 

[Mac K]

Remind me never to buy any of that SEF fuel crap..

 

[Furinkazen]

#37 stepped on it coming out pits, whoo..

And he went off nearly.

 

[Wardy 944]

Overbeek in the #1 458 is on a mission

 

[Tower Turn 13]

JDX back on track.

 

[Furinkazen]

#11 Porsche repair job of the year...

 

[Wardy 944]

Great to see JDX back out.

Problems for Corvette in the pits again

 

[Furinkazen]

Corvette pit issue.

EDIT: Lotus back on track, #52 car in gravel.

 

[Tower Turn 13]

Lotus back out.

 

[Wardy 944]

How long will the Lotus last?

 

[Furinkazen]

Highlight will be fun tomorrow, night all, full-course yellow.

 

[Tower Turn 13]

Is the 007 on the lead lap? Does the caution help the car get back up with the pack?

 

[Wardy 944]

It'll be with the main GT pack but still 1 lap down

 

[boiltheocean]

It'll be with the main GT pack but still 1 lap down

I think it's on the lead lap, Turner never pitted.

 

[Wardy 944]

It's behind the Falken 911 and thats shown as 1 lap behind next in class?

edit: It's all changed now they've pitted, The Falken is on the lead lap but the 007 is still shown as 1 lap down

 

[Mac K]

Great move by BMW.

 

[Wardy 944]

Great move by the Corvette to aviod an accident.

 

[Mac K]

What happened to all the race info, leaderboard, etc? I can't see it on my screen..

Edit: Nevermind, its back.

 

[Tower Turn 13]

Hoping this caution will bring 007 a little closer to next in class. It looks like he's the only one on a different lap besides Lotus.

 

[Wardy 944]

Noooooooooo, stop go for Lizards, drop from 2nd to 6th

 

[Patrick]

The #4 Corvette is back in it!
