Thanks Matt, appreciate that. Just an FYI Duff44, Audi Sport are fully aware of our set ups, and nothing on set up side is out of the Audi window. Hence the head scratching situation we are in. At WGI we were 10KPH down on the other Audis and slowest car in trap speeds. So we need to figure out why that is and not use up budget figuring that out on a race weekend. Audi are working closely with us to diagnose.

Thanks for posting this. So their problem is straight-line speed, and not matching even other Audis. I wonder if they are off on acceleration in all speed ranges, or only at top end.

It is just about race time and I have CNBC teed up

Maelochs · 7 Jul 2019, 17:04 (Ref:3916334)

CNBC showing NASCAR

thank you reddit .... and also, NBCSN online.

Would be nice if TV watched the battles. Missed the lead pass and a third place pass.

So far so good for Mazda, still struggle to pass the Acuras.

Yup, I noticed that too

Pit stops soon, we'll see if Mazda can keep the advantage

Akrapovic · 7 Jul 2019, 17:45 (Ref:3916345)

Oliver Gavin has something flipping in the cockpit. He grabbed it with his right hand exiting the pits.

I lose out big time on this, cord cutter here with an antenna that gets NBC. so annoyed to see nascar on instead. I could go back to imsa radio and onboards, but my wife (who could not care less about my interest in racing) has a list of chores for us to do. Will have to check with post race follow up later in the week after the youtube replay comes on.

Bennet looked in some pain exiting the car. If he managed his minimum drive time then he's done a really good job.

What's the minimum, 45 minutes? He came in at 1:47 meaning he has 42 minutes of green flag running.

Amazing that there have been a couple contact incidents today that people have driven away from. Bad rejoin by Hargrove after a mistake and he takes out the Lexus

Don't need minimum drive time to score points for car, but do need it for the Am driver points for the Truemann Akin cup. But they are winning that cup regardless at this point.

Very short pit in and pit out here, crazy to watch the drivers try to slow down in time.

Akrapovic · 7 Jul 2019, 19:00 (Ref:3916355)

Mazda just Mazda'd all over the 55s race.

Akrapovic · 7 Jul 2019, 19:04 (Ref:3916356)

If this goes green quickly then there's going to be a lot of cars tight on fuel.

At least it's not on fire.

Pace car has the most horsepower of all cars on track.

I had to run an errand, what is yellow for?

I was about to say, "Mazda reminding us they are still Mazda ... " Still running 1-2 though.

50% of the LMP2 field was off at the hairpin at the back and required assistance to be recovered.

Braun is on the lead lap. Keep an eye on him, currently 8th.

**joeb** · 7 Jul 2019, 19:14 (Ref:3916364)

Juncos is destroyed, race might be over

Akrapovic · 7 Jul 2019, 19:15 (Ref:3916365)

That's in an amazing position. Hope the driver is alright.

Did they flip before hitting the tires or after?
