IMSA 2019

Lol You could hear the tires squealing on the #86 Acura. What a battle in GTD.

Mazda wound up getting a double podium after all!

Yeah me and my dad noticed that. Those cars were absolutely on the edge the whole time. And with the different classes probably saw 2-300 passes on Thunder Valley

Competitive race. Looks like Nasr burned through the tires trying to catch Cameron.

Penske Acuras and the AVS Lexuseseses are on a roll.
 
Ever notice the Mazdas seem to self destruct within a couple of laps of each other? Am I the only one surprised that Joest is having such a struggle?
Joest have been better than SpeedSource, but I think the two key things are that the car is still suboptimal (they missed practice time on Friday due to, you guessed it, engine issues) and the drivers are susceptible to brain fade more than the other top drivers seem to be. Bomarito and Tincknell have made some bonehead moves recently that took them out of some races. Joest can only do so much with the equipment and drivers they’re given.

At least Joest had been fast.

Yeah, they need something that can stay together.

I think they are driving a little desperately. They are trying just a little too hard.

You gotta wonder why he doesn't go to Mazda and tell them the motor is crap, and of they want to win they need a Gibson or something.
 
I hope Mazda wins a couple soon. As little success as they have had, they could easily claim "too expensive" and leave.
 
Delayed three-hour cutdown show is the TV broadcast this week. Live race streamed online.

Did not expect to see *checks notes* ... Chad Reed and Paul Tracy competing against each other this weekend?
