It was disgustingly pleasant at the track yesterday. Today, not so much. Not sad at all to be back home since the regular job commitment has me tied up. I feel for my fellow flaggers though, especially tonight.

GTP teams were permitted both the soft and medium compound tires during the overnight portion of last year’s Rolex 24. Sportscar365 understands that more races are set to incorporate multiple tire compound options this year. |

Something to watch out for again. Pace in the night might not be pace during the day and the crucial hour or two before the flag.

Just put on the replay. Daytona is looking very shiny today.
Nice battle at the front of GT. |

The JDC Porsche has been fast today. Not sure which drivers, but Keating is getting some seat time.

S366 (it's a leap year) is reporting IMSA radio will be live tomorrow for qualifying so I assume that means pictures too.

Enjoyed the little race, but like last year IMSA always make sure the home cars are quick, that Mustang is as last year stupidly quick in a straight line, it was rather embarrassing watching it just signal pass pull in before the bloody finish line. Interesting to see what IMSA allow with the GT3 version, much the same as Corvette last year in WEC and some IMSA no doubt let it be faster than everything.

Yep, its an annoying thing in a BOP class when one car has so much of a top speed advantage. You cant do anything about it to defend or attack.

That came at the end of a 12 lap stint right at the end of the session.

It is more likely that it is new car BoPping issues. There was a good article in a recent Racecar engineering on the process. Although it concentrates on GTD. I guess GSX /GT4 is similar. Unlike in WEC There is a thread on BoP is you want to get into that https://tentenths.com/forum/showthread.php?t=157920 Specifically on this race it looked like the Merc had lower top speed than the others more than one car having a big advtange. And lap times overall were pretty close, so if the Merc was brought up to the top speed of the others then they’d need to compensate and slow it in the corners. This difference always more noticeable at Daytona. |

Looks like the weather will be cool and cloudy for qualifying today but warmer next weekend for the race with a chance of showers.

Looks like Proton have been swapped with simultaneous commentary.
Not sure I approve of that swap in all honesty. |

Anyone else getting overlapping commentaries on the IMSA site? Two feeds sounds like and neither seems to be aware

Its very good that after all these years IMSA still cant get streaming right. Yesterday you had 2 commentaries playing. Today the website doesnt load.
JUST PUT IT ON YOUTUBE LIKE ALMOST EVERYONE ELSE |
