FCY -- for a piece of an ad board on track? Or what is that?

A great example of why we need a euro-style "FCY"...aka...code 60 for debris and stalled car situations. When LMP3 comes in its not going to be pretty. We will end up back to the frequency of safety cars we got when LMPC was around...which was too much.

Vinyl siding probably.

GRT caught out by changed pit lane changes. I'd hate to say I could do it better, but this comes down to preparation and lack of it. Or just being caught in a troubled racecar and unable to think clearly. Shame to watch either way.

Luckily you can make a fortune in court if your mcdonalds coffee is too hot and burn yourself. As a result, we're not going to do code 60 in the states. Nothing to see here, move along.

Well it won't help the on track product. I think LMP3 is going to regress the series. Not looking forward to them at all. Looking extra forward to the California and all-GT races on next year's sked.

several cars off -- at the last corner?

#12, #14, #16 at least
Both #12 and #14 spin off on their own. Oil or other fluids?

Yes, #4 dropping oil just before at the same corner

Fluids spitting from #4 on the #912's front window.

No luck for the Lexus cars.
#12 - severe radiator damage
#14 - on a truck

#4 Corvette and the Lexus won't win Sebring this year. I am cheering for a non-Corvette win in GTLM but still stinks to have this issue. Very surprising. I bet the P&M team will work on it to ensure that never happens to the C8R again.

"Spot on nine minutes to go .... " I would guess Mr. Hindhaugh has not turned his watch back .....

seanyb505 · 14 Nov 2020, 18:20 (Ref:4016639)

Man, GTD without the Lexus. That's like saying GTLM without Porsche.

seanyb505 · 14 Nov 2020, 19:00 (Ref:4016652)

Interpol into the wall at 17, Corvette 4 immediately in the pits. This sounds familiar, wonder if vette was leaking more fluid?

Edit: No looks like Corvette was behind the P2 car on this one.

gert · 14 Nov 2020, 20:05 (Ref:4016670)

#10 spun off by Jarvis.
right rear tire puncture, right rear damage.
Needs new rear wing, engine cover etc ...

#10 stopped in pit lane, probably more damage, it will go behind the wall.

--

Stupid move by Jarvis.

--

Race control: No action.
Jeremy Shaw: "what? You must be kidding me ..."

--

Getting out of lane at green flg earns you a drive-through penalty.
Punting other cars off is OK (#7 at Petit Le Mans, #77 here)

Strange logic if you ask me

Akrapovic · 14 Nov 2020, 20:10 (Ref:4016671)

Amazed RC let Jarvis away with that one.

seanyb505 · 14 Nov 2020, 20:10 (Ref:4016672)

Idk the same move wasn't penalized at petit...

Maybe it's my anti caddy pro mazda attitude showing, but I didn't quite see Jarvis pressing the issue, he was trying to slow down. He was no where near up the inside of WTR, but he wasn't overtly going for a "screw you this corner is mine move" like Taylor at Petit. Would be a shame to see that penalized.

But it also looks like Taylor got what was coming to him with his intercooler.

JoeW04 · 14 Nov 2020, 20:12 (Ref:4016673)

Ordinary move from Jarvis

(totally willing to eat my own hair if so) Just haven't pegged Jarvis as a dangerous paid of hands. I'm completely willing to be proven wrong on this.

Also, I've been waiting to see the C8r next to the safety car. Fun stuff.

S griffin · 14 Nov 2020, 20:19 (Ref:4016677)

Yeah let’s see that incident. I wouldn’t want to judge what I haven’t seen. I’ve always seen Jarvis as a clean and fair driver

That may be true but there was an innocent victim here: Scott Dixon (and the rest of the #10 team)

Jarvis at fault

S griffin · 14 Nov 2020, 20:23 (Ref:4016680)

Sometimes things like that happen, although I still have to see the incident first. Especially as it ruined another driver’s race

Edit: just seen it and it looks like it was maybe 50/50 or more 70/30 blame to Jarvis

Akrapovic · 14 Nov 2020, 20:30 (Ref:4016681)

Right so the BMW gets a penalty for a spin which caused nothing major, but Jarvis gets nothing for the hit on the 10?

I do want Derani to win, but have to say that the WTR/Mazda call was nonsense.

TWRv12 · 14 Nov 2020, 20:30 (Ref:4016682)

#55 with brake issues.

Didn't it have similar issues at PTLM?

JoeW04 · 14 Nov 2020, 20:32 (Ref:4016683)

It is funny hearing John and Jeremy trying to cram some food in whilst Shea is talking and then her sending it back to them sooner then expected

belt driven · 14 Nov 2020, 20:32 (Ref:4016684)

WTR can only hope for fire (2 of them.)

Ditto here. If he can't, then #10 please. Not because of the car or team but because of the drivers. Being sacked while in championship contention :/

gert · 14 Nov 2020, 20:44 (Ref:4016687)

More ad boards on track ...

FCY
Yes ... another lap gained by the #7. At this rate they may end up on the lead lap
