59th Rolex 24 at Daytona

[nickp]

That was one of the slickest overtakes I've ever seen

 

[FLRacingFan]

Hard to beat CGR pit strategy

 

[Hotrod]

There are so many good story lines to win in DPi but I am
gonna go out on a limb and pull for the 55 Mazda even though
there is still a chance it could catch fire. (no jinx)

 

[Turtle84]

I can't believe the Mazda is in 2nd place right now, amazing.

 

[Kiante]

Jordan
Taylor

Holy crap he made it look effortless.

it's a small field but it's chock full of drama. The CX-5 out in the driveway agrees with you, but I'd like to see Wayne get another one. I'd hoped the Shank Acura would do better but I think they're doing well just finishing their first DPi in ... how many years?

If you'd told me two years ago GTLM was going away, I'd have been really upset. Now? If the 'Vettes are going to stink up the rest of the season, I won't miss the class very much.

 

[nickp]

it's just been such a good race through all stages the finish is going to be incredible

 

[FLRacingFan]

Seems like Cadillac lost whatever they had the hotter it got and the more the sun came out. Today’s the hottest I can remember it at the track the past two weekends.

I’d really love to see Mazda finally get this one.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

This last hour is going to be really really good

 

[FLRacingFan]

Suddenly the 01 and 48 are fast again. I think the 10 and 55 can short fill on the final stop.

 

[Kiante]

Turn everything up.

Time for the sprint to the finish.

 

[Kiante]

Koboyashi and Van Der Zande are doing 1:34s.

They really were sandbagging putting in their personal bests near the end.

 

[donthaveanickname]

It's a shame Kobayashi's F1 career basically ended after 2012.
I'd love to see him in IndyCar.

I wonder if the #3 Corvette has been lollygagging behind the #4 most of the race. The last two stints, it's been able to get past with little apparent effort.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

New TV rule - no split screen coverage of the same stop on the same car. The coverage on the #48 stop just now was nauseating.

EDIT - #10 stop was left-sides only.

Him in a Caterham was probably one of the most painful experiences as an F1 fan throughout the hybrid era.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Two tires is a interesting strategy

 

[Barbara Charles]

Come on 10 car!!!

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Two tires is a interesting strategy

4 tires is a losing strategy. I can respect it.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Two tires is a interesting strategy

They didn't need to fill the tank, and taking 4 would have required more time than the refueling needed.

 

[Turtle84]

62 Ferrari leading GTLM with 21 minutes to go, that would be something.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

It’s incredible how WTR is always in contention it seems every single year. Wayne has this race and track figured out. It’d be delicious though if Van Der Zande ran his old team down

 

[Charlie Spencer]

You mean he doesn't have to make another stop?? Wow.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Kobayashi was disappointing in this last stint.

 

[FLRacingFan]

**** this is incredible. Wouldn’t be surprised if it ends in contact like 2017.

 

[Kiante]

Kobayashi was disappointing in this last stint.

He's actually been pretty quick, maybe the car needed more laps to get that needed pace.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I think this is my favorite race on the entire racing calendar.

 

[Tim_Richmond_Fan]

As an IMSA noob that has only watched the last 2 hours, this is very exciting. I can't believe how close this is after close to 24hrs. Good crowd too. This event would be fun to camp at for the weekend.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

That WTR Acura is so much faster exiting the turns and getting into the NASCAR sections. Van is going to need to pass him in the technical sections to distance Alb before they get back to the NASCAR turns.

Yeah, every time they get back on the oval, Alb checks out a little further.

Check out Sebring in six weeks or so.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

At least all these commercials are getting me ready for NASCAR season

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Alb is managing lap traffic much better. That’s really gonna hurt Van.

That last infield section where he handled the traffic through the kink.

 

[Mispeedway15]

Unreal finish here

 

[Charlie Spencer]

The HELL? #01 is FLAT

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Unreal

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Holy $hit. Congrats WTR

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Wow, that’s heartbreak.

 

[FLRacingFan]

So I guess inflating the RR more didn’t work
