2021 12 Hours of Sebring

[FLRacingFan]

Opening two and closing three hours on NBCSN this Saturday.

 

[FLRacingFan]

These guys are highly entertaining.

 

[StandOnIt]

That was fantastic

 

[Tony_K]

Looking forward to all 5 hours of coverage but always want more. Guess I'll fill in the middle of the day with NASCAR racing. All good.

 

[Kiante]

I want to go, I might get up early to head to Sebring to get a will call ticket.

I forgot completely about when to purchase. I've already decided I'm going to St. Pete for the GP. I might stay out there for the full-weekend.

Sunset Blvd takes another body:

 

[Charlie Spencer]

OUCH!

Hopefully they have spares on site. Haven't seen if they're working on a repair job or pulling the plug.

Looked like he was kinda wide on entry.

Will call line is extremely long...

FML.

 

[Hotrod]

Ok , well, just so Jimmy is having fun. But he seems waaaaaaay out of his motorsports zone.
Jr. just passed on a JJ indycar test quote. "I am worth for at least 5 spins". I am not going to pick
on him too bad , I am just glad he is here.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Jimmie really climbing the learning curve.

Jr. sounds like he knows what he's talking about. I wonder if he had any time on track?

Did you get in Kiante?

He and his dad tested at Sebring in December 2000 in preparation for their Rolex outing the next month. First I've learned of it too.

Did you get in Kiante?

Yes sir, man its PACKED out here.

God that sucks for the 31

 

[FLRacingFan]

The #31 bunch sure love to pick fights. Three wide into Sunset Bend rarely works and the GTD Aston definitely helped close that hole. Not sure why AXR are saying they’re going headhunting for the #01 now.

 

[FLRacingFan]

God that sucks for the 31

Pipo is so damn quick but they gotta sit him down and give him a chill pill or something lol

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Multi class racing deal. Good 'no call'.

 

[Kiante]

That sucks to see two strong GTD cars taken out like that. Rear brakes locked up, jumped the kerb, and that was all she wrote.

Goes to show ABS problems have been brought up today. That's crazy, it looked almost as if the ABS just gave up right there.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Has to be something mechanical here, some sort of brake/electronic failure. You have to be carrying a ton of energy to move the concrete barriers back that far. Perera said there was nothing he could do.

 

[FLRacingFan]

@Kiante any hint of rain coming? Looks pretty overcast on the stream

Wind is picking up a bit, however I think there will not be any rain. Forecast only predicts at most a 2% chance of rain.

EDIT: AT&T coverage is horrible out here. It's hard to find service out here in Sebring. This is pretty much a small country town with a race track...lol.

 

[Kiante]

Wait a damn minute.

So, these cars can run with one headlight, but they have to have two fully-functioning tailights?

Wtf?

 

[Kiante]

I dislike how good Scott Dixon is.

Lol.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Halfway through, it seems like this race has yo-yo’d back and forth between long stretches of clean racing and then 15-minute bursts where a bunch of people decide to go off at once.

Pretty surprised that GTD, the biggest class of all by far, is down to only five or six cars on the lead lap.

Looks like the temperature might drop a lot tonight which could change things up a lot.

 

[Kiante]

This DPi battle is intoxicating.

Ricky Taylor has found another gear in the WTR Acura.

 

[Doc Austin]

Pipo is so damn quick but they gotta sit him down and give him a chill pill or something lol

I don't think Renger was being unfair in his assessment. Pipo has had too many silly collisions lately.

 

[Kiante]

We just witnessed a murder.

Here lies Hawksworth, the Lexus team just cannot catch a break here.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Too ambitious from Albuquerque IMO, way too far back.

Welcome back!

 

[Kiante]

Jimmie is not doing bad at all, about three to three in a half tenths off of some of the fastest guys behind the wheel.

He's slowly getting better. From what I see his ability to manage traffic is significantly better than it was at Daytona.

 

[FLRacingFan]

I can’t remember seeing a rollover at Sebring, wow

 

[Hotrod]

I think that would classify as a "shunt".

Like you said earlier, its cool out here. The temperature is currently 63 degrees and will continue to drop. It's making a difference.

Tires are not warming up nowhere nearly as quickly as earlier today.

 

[Kiante]

Dixon is OP.

 

[Doc Austin]

I just saw the replay of the #31 taking out the Mustang Sampling car. They sure are having a wild race.

 

[Kiante]

Penalty for the 48, Pagenaud has gone over his time allowance.

They will finish last.

Good to see ya Bud. Miss your commentary.

Thanks a pantload Knaus.

 

[Kiante]

Thanks a pantload Knaus.

AXR appreciates Ally's monetary controbutions though.
