Let's be fair. IMSA is allowing them to use all of the run off as road, so the IMSA qualifying times should be a couple of seconds ahead of where they would be should they be confined to the track.

How is opinion myth?

It would be fun to de-restict one, pile on a ton of aero and see what happe......





oh wait.

Being at the back I guess the #4, #24, and #62 might come in for pit this FCY

Correction everybody came in

[Speedblood]

Good to see the pit out cone marker being respected...

[MaskedRacer]

The #24 BMW and the Mazdas have interestingly had a pretty good on track duel.

And that's one Mazda out. I wonder if they are ever going to get serious with this project.

I thought Pirelli World Challenge was a joke but my god, this is something else.

Some cars are going so far off they are kissing the gravel.....

[J Jay]

Apologies to the faithful but I've only had half an eye on the race so far (any Proteas in here better avoid the Rugby World Cup for the next few days...)

Has there been anything significant since the FCY?

[TheDude]

Man, the WTR Dallara Corvette is such a cool looking car

[J Jay]

Well that's not the Porsche 1-2-3 I was expecting. The Falken needs to strike while the iron (and tyres) are hot.

Edit - This is bonkers, in both senses of the word.

The #3 is getting in there too. GTLM is back to what we are used to again!

[J Jay]

Ouch - a collision on the front straight between the #31 and a PC?

Pew gets pinged in the #60 for punting the #911 Porsche.

Edit - Dane Cameron must have been as excited as me about Japan beating South Africa, because celebrating that result wildly is the only explanation for driving right into the side of the #8 PC like that.

FCY for the stopped #61 PC.

Good keeps GTLM on the overall lead lap before they had to pit. I see the #70 Mazda pitting and trying to go the rest of way with no more stops

[J Jay]

That's make sense for the Mazda, not like there's much else it can do.

Cameron gets pinged for playing pinball with the Starworks PC.

[Lagunaseca_4life]

These track limits are a joke.pcs are being pcs and well Dp's being dps....

[MaskedRacer]

Can the GTLM cars other than the #24 BMW go the rest of the race with no stop?

[J Jay]

So who else caught the split-second flash of the M6 GT3 just then ...

Problems for the #54 Core PC. Smoke visible, power steering gone. There go my precious FRC points

Not hurting so far. OVERALL leader right now

Loving this no track limits stuff. It looks good on tv.

First time ever that the FCY's have made this race a tad better. There were just two of them and they were spaced out enough to get plenty of racing and make things interesting. How else did we get the 54 and the 0 to lead overall in the last hour. I think the GTLM guys can make it to the end.

LMPC and GTLM leaders right together on the rack in the overal standings too

I absolutely hate COTA... such a horrible track. It looks like a ghost town. Like you'd expect an SCCA regionals weekend for attendance in mid-october at Blackhawk farms.

[Rcz]

I say if it's paved and there's no cones and tires then it's part of the track.

That's a ridiculous comparison. People actually go to Blackhawk.

COTA is a great track, but it's just in a bad spot.

They did so while running all over the circuit and not adhering to the actual racing surface, as the WEC cars did. Of course they're going to run faster lap times than last year since they don't have to worry about pesky things like track limits and the WEC cars do. They might as well be running a different configuration this weekend. There is little comparison to make.
