Why happened?

So the GTPs got to over an hour into the race. That’s with 45 minutes of green.

This USA Network coverage is dreadful; non-stop commercials. Practically begging people to pirate streams of the race.

Nothing apparently, but he lost touch with GT cars in front so must have been something?

Bout to have to switch over to Indy.

Rocky did a good opening stint for JDC, I look forward to see if Van der Helm can match for last 90 minutes

A few lock ups. The Achilles heal off a lot of these hybrids.

The trick to watching IMSA is to move to somewhere else in the world. IMSA TV is excellent. Shiny and no ads.

**Adam43** · 6 Aug 2023, 16:25 (Ref:4171625)

Getting a bit tricky out there. There’s been a few offs in the last few minutes.

Alexander Sims is another one not having a good day…

Yes. A few people out there are already looking forward to Indy (or VIR).

**Adam43** · 6 Aug 2023, 16:33 (Ref:4171629)

More LMP2 stops. One left for them.

**Adam43** · 6 Aug 2023, 16:36 (Ref:4171630)

#4 into barriers, into pits, out of pits still looking a little second hand.

I now live in Oslo, Norway, but have never been able to get IMSA TV to work on my laptop, no matter which browser I try (Chrome, Firefox, Edge). It manages to play ads before the stream just fine (because, capitalism), but then the stream window turns black and an error shows saying "An unknown error has occured" and that's it.

Have you tried Radio Le Mans' page? Same feed, but there's far less on the page to cause conflicts. I have had similar intermittent issues with IMSA TV, so I just use RLM's page now:

The not playing could be due to an ad blocker.

Thanks. I’ve also copied this post to the how to watch thread so that it’s there for people at the next race.

I just set my VPN to Italy, and boom, now it works, lol

**Adam43** · 6 Aug 2023, 16:52 (Ref:4171643)

Excellent

**Adam43** · 6 Aug 2023, 16:56 (Ref:4171647)

Another crash. Slow car on track. Didn’t see the impact as the bridge was in the way, but it looked a quick one.

Still green.

**Adam43** · 6 Aug 2023, 16:57 (Ref:4171648)

#4 off again.

J Jay · 6 Aug 2023, 17:06 (Ref:4171651)

Have a few of the GTPs stopped slightly too early to avoid a last-lap splash? I think the #7/#10 should be okay.

Edit - BMW's bad day continues. #24 slow exiting the pits. Eng tootling around the track, seems to be stuck in gear.

**Adam43** · 6 Aug 2023, 17:10 (Ref:4171653)

And another refilling time penalty. This time for Corvette.

It would be daft to factor in a yellow. We’ve just not been getting them, despite lots of moments that nearly got us there.

Having a look at the last stint lengths I think they’re OK.

Did #7 only take two tyres?

fergus_r · 6 Aug 2023, 17:13 (Ref:4171657)

Not surprising. Avoiding penalties is one of the Porsche Keys to the Race and, obviously, they won't hand those over to a rival manufacturer.

**Adam43** · 6 Aug 2023, 17:13 (Ref:4171658)

The last P2 stops happening…

**Adam43** · 6 Aug 2023, 17:13 (Ref:4171659)

#6 Porsche about to come in for rear body section? They’ve got one ready.

Edit: at least they needed to stop again anyway.

I don't think it's strategy - even a stop under yellow would lose track position.

#7 took left-side tyres.

fergus_r · 6 Aug 2023, 17:15 (Ref:4171661)

Yep, and a bit came off on pit exit.
