Drivers with some strong words about conditions. Let's hope the fog lifts soon. At least another 45 mins of dark running.

I treat this as a training run for the LM 24!

Green next time round.

Going to be tough for the Am drivers.... first three cars now have Am drivers on board.

Car #777 pit lane breach gives them a pit lane penalty.

Cameras might be exaggerating but looks to be getting light. Well behaved thus far!

fieldodreams79 · 14 May 2022, 20:38 (Ref:4109967)

Rain?

Edit - YES. And SC for beached Porsche.

E.B · 14 May 2022, 20:51 (Ref:4109970)

Perkins in the wall at the Chase under FCY. Damaged suspension.

Many didnt take wets when they stopped a couple of laps ago but now many are returning to pitlane for wets.

that's a shame:

Really wet now.

fieldodreams79 · 14 May 2022, 21:01 (Ref:4109977)

Proper wet now. So let's throw the green?!

fieldodreams79 · 14 May 2022, 21:08 (Ref:4109978)

KTM stopped on course. SC.

E.B · 14 May 2022, 21:08 (Ref:4109979)

Hardly gone green and we are back under FCY again for a KTM Xbow is stopped with damage

fieldodreams79 · 14 May 2022, 21:33 (Ref:4109990)

Going green again

E.B · 14 May 2022, 22:00 (Ref:4110002)

Not sure if it has actually stopped raining but there are hints of a dry line starting to emerge. Certainly not enough of a dry line to change tyres yet, but its certainly less wet than it was

The radar I'm looking at has shown little to no rain this whole time

Saw the leader, Percat, looking for the wetter parts of the track last lap

E.B · 14 May 2022, 22:34 (Ref:4110008)

Fog has descended across the mountain and its thick so an SC called.

fieldodreams79 · 15 May 2022, 01:00 (Ref:4110009)

Finally cleared off but that was a long SC.

On track numbers are certainly dwindling....

E.B · 15 May 2022, 01:32 (Ref:4110010)

Certainly had our fill of FCY's earlier but now we have the opposite with well over 2 hours of green running. A lot of cars could do with the lucky dog and get back on the lead lap or closer to it.

fieldodreams79 · 15 May 2022, 03:02 (Ref:4110014)

More rain moving in, but then will blow through and be gone for the rest of the race.

E.B · 15 May 2022, 03:35 (Ref:4110016)

Cant wait for all the Am / Bronze drivers to get their minimum time done and leave it for an all Pro driver run to the flag.

A few spots of rain on the screens and wipers on intermittent.

They are 5 seconds a lap slower than before and its getting wetter , certainly over the mountain.

JHamilton · 15 May 2022, 03:35 (Ref:4110017)

I mentioned this to Field, but in addition to Gaaaaath Tandaaaa being one of my favorite drivers, he's an excellent commentator.

Having this race available via YouTube has been great as always! I've spent the day doing yardwork and washing the truck while listening to the commentary. When something exciting happens, I just pull the phone out of the pocket and check it out.

E.B · 15 May 2022, 03:41 (Ref:4110018)

Now is the wrong time for the Am drivers to stop. They need another 3 or 4 laps to reach the minimum stint time for the #91 and #888.

Wow a race changer.... The leader has been hit with a two minute penalty for one of their drivers exceeding driver stint time

JHamilton · 15 May 2022, 03:42 (Ref:4110019)

Absolute nightmare for the 74 after screwing up the driver times and then messing up the penalty during the pit stop.

fieldodreams79 · 15 May 2022, 03:47 (Ref:4110020)

SC now.

Utterly strange stop w/ the penalty.

Still wet at the top of the mountain.

fieldodreams79 · 15 May 2022, 03:56 (Ref:4110021)

No footage but sounded like a massive shunt under yellow...

Yeah, I think the camera man was confused where that horrible noise came from
