Pipo is in.

Fox was at break for the pit stop sequence. Did the Nissan and P2 guys do any better this time around?

[joeb]

Wtf was the Porsche doing going into T5????

Which is probably why he was so far left on corner exit. Even if he realized before the corner, he had a lot to do to get the car into the pits from his position.

Anyway, the #28 shows the #86 how it should have been done.

Deggis YouTube channel, man. Haven't seen a commercial yet!

Another fastest lap for Simpson!

[Articus]

Likely that the two GTLM Porsche's switch positions as the 912 is not in the drivers championship.

[Maelochs]

Loving watching Simpson trying to figure out a way past Cameron

[J Jay]

FCY for the stricken #24 just at pit entry.

[joeb]

Ugh, fcy. Gtlm reliability hasn't been great this year

[joeb]

This might make the proto class only need one more stop. This yellow will take a while so I think they will be good

[J Jay]

#85 & #5 taking the gamble, the only prototypes not to pit.

Edit - A bit tight for the Nissans, came out almost side-by-side and the #22 jumped the #10 in avoidance. It has now gone to the back of the trio.

[joeb]

Interesting strategy on the proto stops

Thanks, to them, it's been a little more interesting.

Should be fun on the restart.

I think they forgot it was yellow. Lol

[Akrapovic]

Surely the 85 should pit just before the green? Don't see how this will work.

[CyberMotor]

Two questions about the #10.

1. What is that buzzer sound in the cockpit?

2. What hit the windshield on the right? Almost looks like a bullet hole! Cracked the windscreen all the way across.

I think that's exactly what they're planning, or at least they should be.

The #5 has just managed it, got out just before the SC and now won't need to pit again.

If the 5 can make it, I think the 10 will make it on a lean run. We'll see!

[Articus]

Is Vanthoor going to let the Fords past?

[Articus]

That PC car sitting on front the GTLM leaders will be trouble.

[J Jay]

Pipo goes round the outside of Jordan Taylor on the restart. Typical Derani overtake

#911 off at T1. FCY.

[Maelochs]

Way to screw up an interesting race .... and wow ... Pipo freaking Derani.

[joeb]

911 f'd the race

[fieldodreams79]

Well crap

[Articus]

Porsche.....Well the 912 pitted first so this benefits them for fuel.
