Yes, the light was on for Tandy and they made him get out of car

They put the 20 on track. Refused to do that for the Porsche.

Offender gets better service than victim.

Pfff

Does the Porsche get lap credit on the rollback since he got waved past the busy pit lane

AndreasDavour · 14 Oct 2023, 17:07 (Ref:4181439)

@rika they can not. The G sensor rules say the driver *must* get out.

Driving standards and on track vehicles are not good so far. They took the Porsche on a flatbed for an entire lap.

rika · 14 Oct 2023, 17:08 (Ref:4181442)

And now the truck does an extra lap of the track with the Porsche??

Why??? That is incredible and even more disadvantaging them!

Reasons as to why P2 &P3 are separate for next year inWEC and a few IMSA races. Not only because of the bigger grid, but to minimize said shunts.

Yes

17 minutes later....

Mike E · 14 Oct 2023, 17:12 (Ref:4181446)

Was the #5 delayed at the start? Back up with the rest of GTP now.

They're P1 in live timing. Is that info correct? I wouldn't find that odd, they just didn't pit when the others did and got back in front (probably).

rika · 14 Oct 2023, 17:13 (Ref:4181448)

Come on guy. Get that car of the truck! No need to keep slacking around.
You lost it an extra lap already!

Would you prefer the guys driving hard to pit lane and have to deal with him

And the guy who did it got stop plus 2 min

Yeah, I didn't count on the other GTPs pitting at this yellow. They did, #10 shuffled to the front.

Tandy is ... not pleased. I doubt Penske is either, that's put them out of the title fight effectively.

P3 ain't in WEC so....

rika · 14 Oct 2023, 17:18 (Ref:4181452)

Stop + 120?

They should take that driver out of the race.

Destroyed championship for 1 car.
Destroyed 2 other cars.

But that idiot can carry on.

It delivers others cars to pit and not drive an extra lap.

If it drives an extra lap for all other cars then it would be OK but it does not do that for all cars.

broadrun96 · 14 Oct 2023, 17:29 (Ref:4181454)

Cetilar just hip checked to the bike chicane by a P3

Because the pits were slammed and cars were inside him to get in to the pits. It's fairly easy to understand

And it CANNOT do what they do in previous years, infield traffic ain't moving so extra lap would be faster than cutting through

rika · 14 Oct 2023, 17:30 (Ref:4181456)

Tandy says the light was NOT on.

They just should be consitent and do it for every one then.

Then it is OK. Other wise not.

broadrun96 · 14 Oct 2023, 17:33 (Ref:4181458)

Can we stop pretending it's ONLY the Ams with bad driving? That was Pro on Pro

J Jay · 14 Oct 2023, 17:33 (Ref:4181459)

#1 and #60 touch in the chicane, BMW in the tyres. I'd put that on Blomqvist myself.

Edit - Nope, Blomqvist was run into. He was slowed by the #20 (surprise...) but the BMW ran into the back of the Acura.
