drive through for #7, passing under yellow.
2'46 stop for some infringment (improper waveby or something)

RedSquirrel · 13 Oct 2018, 22:34 (Ref:3856659)

Looks like Team Sandbag are going to win the GTLM championship.

That repair job was vintage Joest-like.

Akrapovic · 13 Oct 2018, 22:34 (Ref:3856660)

That Corvette pit stop was one of the best bits of motor racing I've seen in years. That was amazing.

Damian Baldi · 13 Oct 2018, 22:34 (Ref:3856661)

Woow that was a great fix of the #3

RedSquirrel · 13 Oct 2018, 22:36 (Ref:3856662)

2:46 penalty. Two minutes and forty-six seconds. Oof.

Agree, fascinating to watch!

Incoming penalty for the #912, Bamber nudged the #71 into the tyres at T3.

RedSquirrel · 13 Oct 2018, 22:54 (Ref:3856666)

Damnit.

But why is that a penalty when the #31 dumping a car into a wall at 150mph isn't?

In the light of the race ending accident for #96, I think that penalty came up very very fast.

No action for the race ending accident, drive-through for an accident were the 71 is certainly not out of the race, and maybe not even has any damage.

I'm not sure I agree on that.

RedSquirrel · 13 Oct 2018, 23:00 (Ref:3856668)

I swear the cars look faster in the darkness.

I'm not sure I agree on that.

Then the only solution is for Bamber to make sure he is driving a Cadillac next time out...

(I agree - the #31 should have been pinged, just as the #912 was).

gert · 13 Oct 2018, 23:05 (Ref:3856670)

I agree it was Bamber causing that accident, but I thought the consequences were taken into account.

The #71 didn't even pit after that accident.

Braun goes into 54. He will probably stay in until the end.
Meaning: Bennett has given up on the Trueman championship.

kvenom · 13 Oct 2018, 23:14 (Ref:3856672)

Cadillac 1-2-3, how on Earth do they keep doing that? Lol

SnoodyMcFlude · 13 Oct 2018, 23:14 (Ref:3856673)

8 hours in and banging doorhandles for the lead...damn, I love sportscar racing.

courageous · 13 Oct 2018, 23:15 (Ref:3856674)

really fascinating and competitive first 8 hours, but somehow here we are with a caddy 1-2-3 again FFS...

gert · 13 Oct 2018, 23:25 (Ref:3856676)

#4 1nd #86 making it very difficult for eachother during the pitstop.

I think we should count on Derani/ESM rather than Jarvis/Mazda to put that to an end.

EDIT: Derani got by Jarvis.

gert · 13 Oct 2018, 23:29 (Ref:3856677)

#52 into the wall at Turn 1.
It's back on track.

Is that what it's called? I thought it was "sportscar BoPing".

'Damn well oughta' be a good "show" cause it sure ain't real racing....

Just thought I'd pop in to see how the old place is doing....seems as if it's not as popular as it used to be....used to be insightful comments. Now it seems to be a regurgitation of what the TV commenters say. Oh well.

If you want an argument about BoP then you'll have to go somewhere else

Well, that insightful comment really added to the thread then...

Sorry for repeating what the commentators are saying.
But while you don't seem to like it, I'm quite sure some others where glad we did so they could read back after they missed a bit of the action.
