Lol.

I have video but no sound right now, so I don't know which Alliance pilot shot down the BMW ....

Cars sure do look good going around that track.

Maelochs · 12 Oct 2019, 17:32 (Ref:3933529)

DPi is barely a race anymore ..... or rather, this is playing out like an endurance race.

Helio driving like an amateur. Not the first time this season.

Agree. What was he expecting, the #38 to dissapear in front of him?

Juntos · 12 Oct 2019, 17:46 (Ref:3933535)

The No. 52 PR1 Mathiasen Motorsports entry wins LMP2 by default. Congratulations to Matt McMurry, Gabriel Aubry and Dalton Kellett.

Yes.

The sad part is, I'm only half-joking. Gutting for Cassels and the crew - truly, no good deed goes unpunished.

Belts of tire wrapped around suspension pieces?

Hey! We were just to the right of this shot I think! Under a tree for shade, and next to a bees nest! Three generations at the track for first time ever for us today. Seen less action with a 7 year old in tow, but wonderful nonetheless.

Yes... and yes! Actually love seeing some gaps forming.

Akrapovic · 12 Oct 2019, 19:07 (Ref:3933555)

That was a brilliant pass by the 4.

I love Land, but that moving under braking isn't really on.

Akrapovic · 12 Oct 2019, 19:37 (Ref:3933564)

Man, the 10 really wants to have an accident.

**joeb** · 12 Oct 2019, 19:49 (Ref:3933566)

Just hiked around to the backside of the track and found the bridge at turn 8 closed. Wtf? So had to shlep my ass back around the long way. But in the plus side cars at top speed going down the hill is a sight to see.

Lasse · 12 Oct 2019, 20:05 (Ref:3933571)

Fraga is pushing it...

tux · 12 Oct 2019, 20:30 (Ref:3933576)

Has the #5 got the beginning of brake problems? A lot of brake dust coming from the left front.

**joeb** · 12 Oct 2019, 20:36 (Ref:3933578)

52 has gone wide at turn 3 twice in last 15 minutes. Takes the escape road and stays out of the wall.

RWill2073 · 12 Oct 2019, 20:38 (Ref:3933579)

So, trackside, after the Lexus caused the caution at turn 3, the 5 Cadillac was gapping everyone. Then looked likehe pit earlier than other prototypes and began getting that ground back. But, it hasn't cycled back up to that big lead since. Is there a story there? Curran? Or an extra stop? It looks like clearly the fastest car.

Juntos · 12 Oct 2019, 20:44 (Ref:3933580)

The No. 66 Ford GT of Dirk Mueller is off course, stuck in the gravel.

FCY. Safety car has been deployed. Lucky Mueller he can no longer be fired.

The caddy had lost some pace in the afternoon, even with Nasr onboard

Woo. PLM. Sorry I’m late to the party.

Juntos · 12 Oct 2019, 20:49 (Ref:3933584)

I must say I've been slightly impressed by Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac's effort to remain on the lead lap. They've been close to getting lapped a few times.

Impressive.

On for a record distance...

Thanks for the Jynx.

I wish I had that power.

Besides I only repeated what Hindy said so it might not even be right
