It's like Tracy Krohn is having his own private competition with all three drivers of the 28 car to see who is more poo poo

Only logical place in motorsport for it, use a standard P2 car as a base and prove it can handle running in faster, slower and same speed traffic without directly competing and having to go wheel to wheel with other cars.

Just put it in an Am Ferrari, it'd be an ugprade

Race director calling the audi out on ignoring blue flags,'is your driver unable to identify them?'

Also the 91? Is on fire.

That Tandy/Pilet/Estre car has had an awful year:

Daytona - broken driveshaft
Sebring - crashed out
N24 - crashed out on the outlap in fast 30 qualifying and on lap 1 of the race

not quite as long a tail of smoke as an LMP1 or F1 car, but a pretty tremendous puff while it lasted, call that a 7/10 on the engine-going-boom scale.

What actually went wrong with the Porsche 919 they pulled into the garage and basically completely disassembled? I had to run out for dinner and missed the rest.

Unsure what cost them the first hour-plus, RLM speculated battery issues, but the most recent time in the pits was apparently the water pump.

Also good lord the official feed commentary is loving dire. I'm sticking with RLM.

The 2 car somehow lost over a minute and is now third. The WEC commentators think he spun but the tv feed said the spinner was the 12, who is now in the garage, but maybe they both spun because there's no other explanation as to how he dropped to 3rd.

Also the 5 car is now in the best spot to win as the 6 is damaged. This race man, holy gently caress

e: oh the 2 had a puncture and had to make another stop at the same time the 12 spun.

He hit someone at some point and damaged the left of his car. He has picked up the pace a bit after they threw some tape on there.
