imsa giving teams a chance to pit before calling a yellow for stopped P2?

and it was a wise move, the car got going, no yellow needed

[Ferrari333SP]

Big crash for the BMW GTP

[J Jay]

#25 out, #01 limping to the pits.

Edit - I was wrong; Bourdais must have been unsighted by the dust Yelloly threw up going off by himself.

[joeb]

uh oh, contact with Bordais and Yelloly, big damage to the BMW

[Adam43]

Seems Seb got lost in the dust!

R. Taylor possibly being looked at for overtaking #120 on the way in the pits.

According to Shea Adam, he's going to be pinged.

Edit - Warning issued for #10. Lucky.

[Adam43]

That makes sense.

Both pushing too much and finding the grip wasn't there.

[tomcug]

Not a good restart for Viscaal...

[J Jay]

Oh look, another rear deck going missing on a Mustang.

At least this time it's due to contact!

[dwh43scale]

Very scrappy race. Disappointing on such a great track.

What a near miss for Fraga indeed.

[joeb]

so much contact in this race. It is GT's turn

[J Jay]

What on earth have the GT field put in their drinks bottles?

Far too much contact in those squabbles, FCY called to clear up the mess.

[tomcug]

Here we go, another yellow Last year's race was very good, this one isn't.

I kind of think that may have been just a lot of frustration with people in such evenly matched equipment having trouble making a pass stick. And then lots of bad decisions......

[tomcug]

The 10 Acura was lowest on fuel at 40% so now the question is whether other cars can make it to the end. Any ideas?

[joeb]

Also, Sean Creach Motorsports Ligier is up in to 5th position.

[joeb]

Despite all the cautions and commercials so far, 12 minutes left and we go to commercials. Ugh.

Even saw them in 3rd for a moment but Orecas are having too much pace advantage. 1:55.9 and the best lap of the race for that car while the 07s doing low 1:54s.

[Adam43]

Crazy lapping!

[joeb]

Final lap traffic was nuts, GTD and GTP madness!

[tomcug]

Scary moment for the 7 after Ricky Taylor hit it from behind but luckily Nasr kept it under control. Crazy lapping indeed
Overall, an unexpected 1-2 for Penske. Good charge by Taylor 6 places up after the final restart.

[Articus]

Why did the 10 car make the stop on the last yellow? Did they have less energy than the others? All the yellow should have let them save energy. That stop cost them the race. They will be kicking themselves.
