Jaywow +3 secs back. Jordan will have to run into trouble for any chance of the 5 to win.

Haven't seen the GT battle since the restart.....

Vette-Porsche battle. It has tightned up since the LMPC leaders go through them.

#3 pass fair and square, #4 runs out of fuel, fingers crossed

Edit, or the #3 will bin it

Yes. Showing it now. Any chance the #4 was saving fuel?


#3 has a shunt!

[skycafe]

Wow, Garcia

[TheMightyM]

Garcia into the wall.

Cheering for Fred in the #92 for this one.

Of course all of this happens right when my internet cuts.

Glad I might be wrong. Go Porsche.

[TheMightyM]

#100 into the tire barrier.

MAKOWIECKI = Stupid Stupid move

[fieldodreams79]

Nice punt 912. No way to pass there! Gifted his teammate the win.

[Wardy.]

Well thats not how I wanted it to happen

What the Makowiecki

[TheMightyM]

And a PC crashes on the last lap...

[fieldodreams79]

Lame!

IIRC, not his first move like this. On another note, I really dislike this race, and like it less as time goes on.

Not my favorite either but it’s the best and maybe only way for IMSA to have a race in southern California, which is a very important market for them.

I say someone at Porsche did the math, weighed the averages, and told Freddie Mak to take out the #4, so Porsche would get winner's points.

Jordan Taylor nearly binned it on his out lap, and looked slower until the yellow, Ricky says TC issues, the announcers say someone said brake bias change ...

Mazda four and five, best of the non-DPs. Maybe we will see even more at Laguna.

Yeah, I realize that, I live about 30 miles away, but... I don't go any more, for many reasons. I say, "Bring back Del Mar!" ;-)

I very much doubt that, plus they would've gained more points with a second and third.

Yeah I think Mazda could have a shot at a win this year more so than the Shank car. Jeremy Shaw talking very P.C about PC in the post race tech show right now. I think he wanted to say that it sucks having them here but he said "it did not do any harm". But they did get a shot in that they caused an FCY for the first time. He He.

I'm glad a car other than Corvette won in GT finally but dang. Ford, BMW, and Ferrari need to step it up. Hopefully IMSA will give them some BoP help. By improving their performance though. Not by adding more weight, air restrictor, or fuel tank size to the Corvette and Porsche.

912 saw a slip by the 4, saw an opening with not much time left and boneheadedly dove for it in a place no one passes. Nothing more, I think.

Race should be at least 2 hrs. Felt like it was just getting into a rythem when it ended. I love the circuit for these cars, but it has always felt "forced".
