2025 Six Hours of The Glen

[Charlie Spencer]

Three of my favorite tracks. I'll watch the Glen live while recording RA, watch Cup at Pocono on Prime on Monday (then cancel Prime), and then watch the IndyCar recording on Tuesday. At least, that's the current plan, subject to weather conditions at the tracks and here.

One car shy of a capacity grid this weekend after the Iron Danes withdrew following Michelle Gatting’s broken foot suffered at Le Mans.

Not surprisingly, most GTP/GTD Pro teams opted for two-driver lineups with the Nurburgring 24 also taking place this weekend.

Only one practice session today, but pretty interesting results. 1.1 seconds covered the top 10 GTP machines, then the LMP2 leaders were right behind at 1.2 seconds off the overall best. Both customer Porsche and the Lamborghini GTP entries finished behind LMP2 cars. LMP2 cars carry a lot less weight and have more downforce so a fast, flowing track like Watkins Glen is where they shine the most.

I don't normally catch the Michelin series but it's too hot to do much besides veg out in front of the tube.

If there is any outdoor work to be done I want to get started by 6am and be done by noon.

Darling Bride starts checking on me if it gets over 85, hinting it's time to quit.

Got a couple of birthdays in the family to celebrate tomorrow so I might have to punt on this one until Monday. Seems like there may be some storms in the area in the morning, hopefully the bad stuff clears out before noon.

Treacherously slick conditions causing multiple minor spins in the early minutes.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Downpour at the 40-minute mark has at least four spinners even though the track was yellow for an earlier wreck. At least two with damage plus the original LMP2 wreck.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Restart at 5:02 left. 3 LMP2 torn up coming out of the boot. Right back to yellow.

 

[FLRacingFan]

LMP2 teams need to be worrying less about meeting minimum drive time for the bronzes in these conditions than actually just surviving. Bronze drivers have no business being out there in this rain. Strategy fail.

And now the sun is out.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Tandy loses it coming out of turn 1 with appx. 1:30 left. Wads up the #7 Porsche big time. No nose, no back end, left front ****ed around.

Looks like he lost traction on the outside curb coming out of 1.
