2023 Rolex 24 at DAYTONA

[AdoubleU24]

Damn I would've loved to have seen that garage 56 car in person

 

[*WEAVER*]

"Peacock TV is not officially available in Canada"

I sent you a message..

 

[Doc Austin]

I would’ve guessed both BMWs would’ve made it past the first hour at least. Good lord.

Won’t be the last reliability issue in GTP though.

I'm letting it record for an hour so I can zap the commercials. What happened to the BMWs?

"Peacock TV is not officially available in Canada"

Have you tried the international live stream on IMSA.com?

 

[Doc Austin]

At two per hour we're going to run out of GTP cars before it's over. Can a P2 car really pull it off?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Something wrong with the electric half of the power plant.

MGU failure on the #25 is what they’re saying.

Kevin Harvick could set up shop in the infield with the crappy ass parts shirts for GTP runners this weekend…

 

[donthaveanickname]

First RWRSB spin of the year

I mean the 25 has had the least amount of driving time out of all the cars.

BMW expected this weekend to be rough, IMHO.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

22:43 left. Has anyone stopped yet? Did I miss the first pit cycles?

IMSA.TV or RevTV is what I’m seeing for canada

IMSA.TV also has onboards it looks like.

Definitely expected them to have the roughest go of it based on their timeline and testing. Depends on what it was, if it was the MGU that’s a spec part. They had engine problems during testing last year though so it could be any number of things.

Yes, you did miss them

 

[FLRacingFan]

Cooper started in the 79 today?

Must’ve just gotten in, Engel started.

This works

 

[West]

unbealivable speed differance between classes

 

[Kiante]

I cannot say enough about Ben Keating's outright pace.

This man is amazing in LMP2 cars.

 

[Doc Austin]

MGU failure on the #25 is what they’re saying.

Oh, no. A magic fairly hybrid bites the dust. I guess since these are new units we had to expect some of this.

This is how a P2 car almost won Lemans. All the hybrids hit trouble.

 

[Hotrod]

Weird not seeing a Vette out there. J Taylor for that matter.
New Vette due 2024.

Darkness in about 3 hours.

There is a Vette in GTP Pro. Currently in 2nd behind THoR Aston.

Completely missed them . Sucks getting old.

 

[Kiante]

Completely missed them . Sucks getting old.

Wisdom comes with age, it just comes at the sacrifice of your vision and hearing.

Korthoff car goes off, the GTD leader! Skeen is still going with no damage though.

Colin is getting the MSR car, I'm so excited for him getting back into the primary class again!

 

[Doc Austin]

From RACER:

Trouble struck early for one of the LMP2 favorites, the No. 8 Tower Motorsports car of John Farano, Kyffin Simpson, Scott McLaughlin and Josef Newgarden rolling to a stop after only a couple of laps with Farano at the wheel, bringing out the race’s first full-course caution. The water bottle had leaked onto the ECU. The car returned to the track, 10 laps down.

 

[FLRacingFan]

From RACER:

Man, what a freaking break. That sucks. Not sure I’ve seen a water bottle leak ruin a race before.

 

[West]

Apparently NOT a lazy spin, by the looks of the #31 headlight

 

[Hotrod]

This maybe an amazing sunset if the clouds stay just as they are
and dont get any thicker.

Whew , that T1 spinner came close to meeting the field coming
back on the speedway from the infield.

 

[nickp]

the Rolex 24 hours of commercials

 

[West]

ZERO commercials on IMSA TV

 

[Kiante]

Westy went a little too far right there.

 

[West]

If you painted that Corvette Red it would mirror the Ferrari

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Westy went a little too far right there.

Ya think?

 

[Kiante]

Ya think?

Prehaps.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Goodness

Menu in the lounge today.

 

[Doc Austin]

Damm they are running those cars hard.

 

[West]

Damm they are running those cars hard.

24 hour sprint

 

[West]

Hope Dixon's car isin't terminal cause of that.

 

[FLRacingFan]

01 gets ARCA-braked by a P3, the ARCA of the sports car world.

 

[nickp]

Looks weird to see Jan Magnussen’s name next to a Porsche logo after something of a decade-long partnership with Chevrolet
