57th Rolex 24 at Daytona

[Charlie Spencer]

Just joined… How long have they been under yellow now?

If you count the previous yellow and the red, they ran for 30 seconds since 6:05am

Pastor has been great so far in LMP2. I still don't understand why folks see him as a meme. He's a really good driver, just like some fast drivers in being erratic. Not to mention he is pretty good in the wet.

He has walled countless cars in F1. He surely was fast, but sometimes he was just dangerous.
GREEN!

 

[AdoubleU24]

Lol this is nuts

 

[Kiante]

Man this is insane and the hitman squad in the 66 Ford GT is out of it.

Crashing everywhere holy moly.

GREEN!

I liked him honestly and he was well liked in the paddock. I digress though, this is bonkers.

At least I haven't missed much.
2 months without racing is an awfully long time.
btw. The last 3 minutes somehow remind me of the Mid-Ohio Xfinity race in 2016.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Visibility is so crap, holy cow. Sounds like almost everyone besides the #10 is lifting between pit entry and the start/finish line.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

#54 Nissan backed into turn 1; rear wing is gone.

YELLOW BACK OUT. I'll resume doing my taxes.

 

[Kiante]

My thing is how in the world is the drainage so bad here at Daytona considering how the 24 is run here annually.

Joey is pissed and rightly so IMHO.

I don’t think there’s a single GTLM driver that hasn’t had an issue with Porsche at some point, regardless of conditions.

But yeah, there has to be better drainage when you host this thing in this state every year. It’s not even raining that hard but the water doesn’t seem to go anywhere and the visibility is awful.

 

[Kiante]

Felipe Nasr has really turned into a great driver for Whelen. Never had a doubt about his talent while he was in F1, but him losing Banco De Brazil's backing really cut his F1 career short.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Okay, taxes are finished. I'll bet I had more fun than most of the drivers. Looks like they're about to try it again.

 

[FLRacingFan]

I think this is the lightest the rain has been in a long time.

 

[nickp]

The order at Rolex 24 is complete chaos

 

[StandOnIt]

run you wet dogs run

 

[donthaveanickname]

Looks way better than half an hour ago.

 

[Kiante]

Nasr's car control there was mad.

 

[rowdy3]

Been in the suite for most of the day today. Been pouring but it looks like for the next hour it will be light before the next downpour.

 

[Kiante]

The M8 looks so twitchy on-throttle compared to the 488.

Alonso has back in the car. Man, I wonder of Alonso's going to finish this out?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Anybody catch what happened the #57? They went from 5th in class on the lead lap to 15th and 10 laps down.

 

[Barbara Charles]

My boys are doing rather well: Helio's team in second place and Townsend Bell's team in first in their respective classes. Now don't let me jinx this by posting.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Hope Fernando finishes it out in the 10...Alonso vs Rossi vs Nasr for the overall win is going to be awesome as we have over 2 hrs left

 

[FLRacingFan]

Uhh did DragonSpeed lose a wheel in turn one?

Well, it looked like a dark / black P2 was being attended to as they went to commercial

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I have a stupid question but is the Spirit of Daytona Racing team participating in the 24 this year, they haven’t updated their twitter since last September. I remember their sponsor was Visit Florida.

They had problems with sponsorship, so they are on a bit of a hiatus atm.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Holy sheetshow

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Thanks I was looking to buy a hat when I went to the race just never got around to it and was wondering about them randomly.

Tore up a lot last year - namely at Sebring

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Calamity corner, spins for everyone.

 

[nickp]

This is the most intense endurance race I have ever seen

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

This is sick tweet, who ya got?

 

[FLRacingFan]

There it is!

Jeez there’s at least a couple of cars off here every lap

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Bad mistake by Nasr

 

[Hotrod]

The class winners will surely earn those watches this year. Glad they are leaving it green.
The good ones will know how to tip toe these cars home. Big penalty for stupid mistakes
right now. Creep through the corners should be the order the rest of the race. This last half
hour will be wild.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Rain is picking up, turn 1 runoff is not far away from becoming Lake Lloyd

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Id be down with a Fittipaldi/Earnhardt/Johnson/Elliott Corvette Rolex 24 effort.

 

[StandOnIt]

Alonso taking them to school

 

[Kiante]

Saavedra special.

A wrecked car leading the class... Yikes.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Bad mistake by Nasr

This caution will help him and Rossi.
