Only heard that 487 times!
I began to wonder was he happily married.
The family hardly ever came. Maybe they hated racing.

Shaping up quite nicely, the 01 Cadillac has played this perfectly over the night, we'll see if the 60 can re-ignite the same closing speed as they had before. Right now, the Acura was running 1:36's 1:37's upping the pace, but tough to tell where they're both at in the tire cycle, can go longer on fuel advantage.

I was about to say that the BMW colors remind me of Valvoline, but the #25 gave us something else to talk about.

The LMP3 intervals look straight out of the 80’s…
1)
2) -7 laps
3) -16 laps
4) -25 laps
5) -26 laps
Good grief.

Is that stat right? The #60 has made six or SEVEN more stops than the rest of the GTP field but is on the lead lap?

RACER is reporting a second battery change for the #7 Porsche. That's roughly $400,000, right? Looks like we are in for an expensive season.

Not to mention you're not going to win any endurance events if you spot the field 25 to 50 minutes per race.

That team’s story has been amazing so far. That car had zero laps on this track before the green flag yesterday.

Did you see how much time Tandy gained on Pagenaud in the West Horseshoe?
Holy hell that man can be erratic at times, but he's a talent.

Porsche #6 stopped. So much for getting that lap back.
EDIT - after stopping again, smoke! Coming in on electric only.

After last year, all this attrition is a bit surprising.

Pit problems for #01, #10 on lead lap again. 2 Acuras, 2 Ganassi Cadillacs. The Acuras' better mileage may make the difference.

Stig Jr. in the 60 for the finish. Albuquerque back on the lead lap in the 10 for the finish. I’m assuming Bamber and Renger are finishing for Ganassi now too?

All we need now is a "timely" yellow to set up a great finish.

As of right now we have four cars on the lead lap, but fifth is 13 laps back. Unless we have horrendous attrition, I think it's down to the top four.

90 minutes to go with
Five cars on P2 lead lap
Four cars on GTD Pro lead lap
Seven cars on GTD lead lap
Gonna go down to the wire almost across the board.

May I assume you don't consider 90 minutes left to be 'timely'?

Anyone heard numbers for how big this record crowd is?

Garcia and the Vette coughed up two spots and the lead between the infield kink and oval turn 1.

I didn't know the GTP class has a hybrid power train until I started watching the race. I looked over the IMSA site for information about the GTP hybrid specs but I could not find out anything explaining what it is. I would think it would be something they would promote. I find the concept interesting but I'd like to know more.

If WTR wins this thing, what a recovery for that group. Goes to show how much pace those Acuras have.

Same two teams that most of last season came down to. Haven’t missed a step with the new car so far.

Strategy would’ve been more interesting without another LMP3 junker falling apart tbh.

The Captain can't be happy. Failures on both sides of the hybrid.

Tragic weekend for Winward, just heartbreaking.

I agree, but it's better than not having been able to race at all.

Nah. 30 minutes would be more like it.....oh, wait.
