To say that the post-safety car restart procedure is confusing is being wildly generous.
To me, it's made a lot more complicated than it should be.To say that the post-safety car restart procedure is confusing is being wildly generous.
Don’t think that’s right at all, there’ve been a couple of safety cars but I think that figure is lumping in all of the slow zones as well.Am I reading that site correctly? 36 minutes of unrestricted green, 4+ hours of safety car?
The unrestricted green part is correct. Only a little over 2 hours are safety car. The rest had slow zones where cars could only do 80KPH for sectors. At one point, that reflected the first half of the track.Am I reading that site correctly? 36 minutes of unrestricted green, 4+ hours of safety car?
You know what would save time? Have everyone come down pit lane, stop, put them on dollies, move them around until they are in the order that is desired, then have them restart. I'm not even joking.They are going to have to tweak the safety car rules after this. It's ruining a pretty good race.
Seriously.IMSA should’ve been adopting WEC sporting procedures, not the other way around.
Have 'em stop at pit entrance, and we'll call when it's your turn to move to your position.You know what would save time? Have everyone come down pit lane, stop, put them on dollies, move them around until they are in the order that is desired, then have them restart. I'm not even joking.
Should’ve won LMP2 in this race in 2021, only Toyota 2016 was more shocking than his car grinding to a halt just after he took the white flag with a comfortable lead.Yiefi Ye was extremely impressive in ALMS, ELMS, and WEC with JOTA in LMP2.
Just showing why he received that seat in the hypercar.
Spoke too soon.Finally everyone seems to have settled down a little, but a lot of good cars got knocked back.
Really crappy way for Toyota to lose one of their bullets.Spoke too soon.
Hirakawa has been eaten up by Pier Guidi and Calado in the morning hours. Really hard to keep up with the 51.Ferrari's pace is pretty crazy the first year in. Super impressed with them, but their experience in F1 with the hybrid system makes a huge difference. We see it, but can it last the last half of the race.
I read the #93 Peugeot was almost a lap ahead when they lost all their advantage under a safety car. To me, this is completely against the spirit of endurance racing. Thanks to the slow zones it's not as bad as the Rolex 24 which is basically a series of sprints.IMSA should’ve been adopting WEC sporting procedures, not the other way around.
