Thought I’d watch for the first time in a while but the length of this caution just turns me off, sorry. It doesn’t need to take this long.

Hindy's weak attempts to justify this only make the whole thing look worse. It's like were haven't seen multi-class racing before. |

I hope this one's a short caution, because there's only so often I can eat. May have to plant a tree or build a house instead.

IMSA could be running on the Nordschlife and if there is a cookie crumb on the track they will pull out a full course safety car with full wave arounds. One hour into the race as I type this. Nothing to analyze as nothing of consquence has happend as the two long safety car periods has kept each class race together.

And then they followed it up with one of their "short" cautions - just in case anybody needed a refresher of how the process works in IMSA - now we can talk about it in the other thread!

25 minutes before the end Campbell in the GTLM Porsche is doing some HUGE lift and coasts. Some hypermiling going on.

Glad that cleaned up after that rough first hour. Remaining 1 hour 40 was proper IMSA racing. Great day for Porsche!. Matt Campbell and Lawrence Vanthoor are bosses.

If only we could have Lawrence Van Thoor with Roman Dumb Ass and Jack Villanoove in one squad, preferably driving a hydrogen Poo Joe.

Mother Nature had her own ideas. Had the rain arrived, everything would have been turned upside-down. I quite enjoyed the race. I'm a Corvette fan when it comes to GTLM, but it was actually kinda nice to see them finish behind the Porsche.

I know it’s great to point out mistakes on the internet, but it might have been an autocorrect mistake. Whatever, how about just pointing out the correct spelling?
For those interested there is a little bit of driver info and history here: https://www.imsa.com/drivers/laurens-vanthoor/ |

Nice, adding an Aston Martin to the GTD ranks for the rest of the season, Sprint Cup so no Petit though.
