2022 12Hrs of Sebring

[Charlie Spencer]

Scheduled stops beginning for those that didn't come in during the #13 incident.

So glad Rocky is back in a prototype. Great use of traffic on Blomqvist.

 

[FLRacingFan]

I have to give BMW credit for designing yet another model that looks like it could actually eat a prototype when behind one.

Yeah, that was sweet. Looks like all the early nonsense has shaken out and they may race for a while.

Hey, if everyone on here has Peacock or other access, I'll stop the play-by-play.

You do you, we appreciate you doing that!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

#01 Bourdais changing steering wheel, still chasing the original electrical gremlins.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Turn 17 claims #33 Willsey LMP3. Self-inflicted spin. #20 LMP2 takes another spin but tries it in a different corner this time.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

#63 Bortolotti finally catches #62 Serra in GTDP. Serra makes scheduled pit.

 

[FLRacingFan]

That was a great battle for the lead in GTD Pro. I hope Lambo works to keep these guys on the grid for The Glen and Petit.

They're still at it, but #3 Garcia comes out ahead after the pit cycle. Nice job holding off the other two on cold tires.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

NBC replays #31 Derani using a pick to get around #10 Taylor for overall lead.

 

[FLRacingFan]

After everything that happened in the first hour+ I’m surprised there hasn’t been a caution yet. Good racing.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

#39 GTD stalled on the side; apparently incapable of moving very far. It must have started moving again since no yellow yet.

GTDP front battle separating. #62 Rigon falls to 4th behind #25 Farfus BMW

 

[Kiante]

BMW seems like they have their cars in a better place after Daytona.

Getting rid of some that wing and turning up the boost a bit helps, a lot more competitive.

 

[Hotrod]

Not every day you see a wrap flapping in the wind and peeling off a hood, #14.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Risi Ferrari just pulled behind the wall. What a shame, they had great pace early on.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I've been working on the deck and watching on the tablet. Shame about the Ferrari!

Multi car wreck for first yellow at the 2:43 mark. Problem started in turn 1 with #1 BMW and another car. BMW has rear suspension damage and is headed for the garage.

#81 LMP2 with Montoyas had nowhere to go; JPM was driving and is okay. Young Sebastian Montoya was really impressive.

 

[Tony_K]

Poor Montoya. Was looking forward watching father and son racing more.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Went just over a full “normal” 2:40 race length before the first yellow.

Wrong place at the wrong time for good cars, hate it for JPM and the Paul Miller BMW was one of the top two in GTD all day so far.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Everyone in all classes that hadn't pitted within ten minutes of the yellow takes advantage of the pit opportunity. Now wave-arounds are going by so they must be close to restarting.

 

[Kiante]

Man, I hope they compete more this season. Just seems right when Giuseppe has his squad out there.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Green again at 3:08 mark. Roughly 25 minute yellow

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Every time I see the burgundy on the #02 Caddy, I think it's a Mazda.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

#66 GTD smacked the wall in #17. Was originally driving on but the right side has come apart half a lap later. Car has stopped mid-track and cannot refire.

Caution #2 at the 3:29 mark.

 

[FLRacingFan]

That’s a bad place to be stranded. Fortunate no one wound up whacking him.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

#12 GTD Lexus is short a left rear wheel under caution. Came off after the pit stop. Body work may be keeping the brakes and hub off the pavement. Booth speculates lug nut was counterthreaded. Wheel was replaced but there's much smoke coming from the area; body damage dragging on tire?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Green at the 3:52 point. 23 minutes of caution.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

LMP2 #8 spins again; LMP2 #20 mows the grass (again) avoiding the #8.

 

[Kiante]

I get sad every time they talk about Mazda from last season.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I switched TV to the Trucks from Atlanta. If you like Daytona and Talladega, you'll be pleased. I don't so I wasn't. Glad I monitored this one on the tablet.

 

[Kiante]

Dare I say, the 48 looks better w/o JJ?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I'm just going to step WAY over here. Sometimes the tar can splatter a long way...

 

[FLRacingFan]

Epic brain fade by Will Stevens…drove the 10 right through the penalty box instead of the Michelin RFID reader at pit out.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

#48 comes up two hours short on the brakes.

 

[Doc Austin]

The Ally car is delayed with a broken brake disc.

 

[Kiante]

Kamui could not have the drink and needed extra fluids after getting out of the car.

 

[FLRacingFan]

 

[Kiante]

Wait, so the 25 had to pit because it was low on oil?

Did I hear that right? Or am I missing a joke or something?

 

[Kiante]

Bamber just sold.

Drive-thru for the 02.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Brutal mistake when you have a lead like that. Jeez…good thing he had such a lead, might still come out 2nd after the penalty.
