Looked like it from the in-car camera, Bomarito was distracted by the passenger door and ran off the track.

I am starting to like the track lighting, it really
is great for tv and these cars look awesome under the lights.

Time for those at the track to start heading toward the front stretch
stands, fireworks (probably) coming up around 8 or 9 p.m.

It was interesting to see that the M6 GTLM has got a very different headlight beam pattern on track to the Porsches. The Porsches had very little light in the foreground on track, instead throwing a lot of light out to the side and on to the safer barrier when on the oval.
The BMW had most of its light straight in front of the car in a dim glow and no light being shown out to the side and onto the safer barrier.

Just a PR nonsense as Joie Chitwood's was on Midweek Motorsport. She's just a talking head.

Problems for the #54 Core PC that everyone seems to have picked for the FRC...

Oh and another puncture for Ford, #67.

Well they are the oldest cars on track, bordering on ancient in prototype terms.

You can freshen up your house as much as you want but if the foundations are close to their limits then it might be time to cough up the cash and move.

It's NOT a rough debut for Ford folks. It's a NEW endurance race car in an endurance race. When have it ever been the expectation that a car in that position even lands on the podium?

Fair enough, not really expecting them to win. However, the early onset of problems was surprising given the length of their test program.

Yea, probably so. IMHO its the best looking GT car out there.
Best to get bugs figured out before WEC.

So which of the Ligier teams have Oak Racing / Onroak guys embedded in there? Shank along with Pla or ESM with the WEC deal coming?

Or both as befitting them as what looks like their status as major manufacturers?

Ford is certainly good looking. I like that they kept the tail light styling, less pleased that they didn't keep the production headlamp units in.
