Rossi won the Road To Le Mans race in GT3 yesterday, would think he's a dead cert for WEC next year

I still don't understand how race control let him speed through a yellow flag zone at one of the Porsche curves, which was both shown on the YouTube stream and mentioned by RLM.

If Anders Fjordbach was getting punished for tracklimits (which was entirely deserved, as he did), running a yellow flag seems a much worse infringement.

80% chance of rain and 1.5” forecasted now. We’ll be in the T23 grandstand and my dad and I are doing the grid walk. I feel like we’re the only Americans not wearing race/car branded polos l.

Plenty of yanks wearing t-shirts and other non-wec aligned apparel in the village. Maybe in the royalty stands it’s another story. Weather is cloudy but not terrible as per this message.

Prototypes are normally 45 to 50 min, gt cars about an hour?

I don't know if that's changed at all.

sounds about right. I think the P2 cars might be a bit shorter than the Hypercars too for spacing purposes.

I think most will do tires on double or triple stints, but we'll see.

Live weather status for goons being fuzzy and warm at home, very light rain, like one drip every 30s. Static cloud banks.

Audi one year did five fuel-only to one full-service pitstop, and won on that strategy.

Drama at Hockenheim: Seppänen's car looks like it broke an axle and broke down on the circuit so the safety car's out and bunched up the field of some very hungry chasers a "real dash for the cash" as the announcer is so inelegantly calling it.

You can stream from their site in North America; there’s a big banner at the top. But if you want a commentary booth prior to the start it’s RLM.
