Was RC out for a bit of Sunday lunch? Investigation of the 50 for pit infringement 2 stops ago seems a bit late

If no penalty - by my calculations , 50 should have 10-15 secs advantage after the final stops. But the 7 is faster at this point

[J Jay]

Away from hypercar - Jarvis is being caught in LMP2, but it's tenths per sector, and the gap is just under 50 seconds. It will depend on when #22 stops, as it is out-of-sync with the chasing pack.

[outnumbered]

Do we think 50 can get to the end on just one stop? Surely there's a risk they will need a splash, but perhaps the weather means they can get there.

[airbusA346]

More rain expected.

[PhilipR]

If they pit with 50 minutes left then they will make it. the 7 should pit with roughly 30 mins left

They can make it, especially with the slower pace with more rain

[J Jay]

#50 can do 3 more laps from here (~12 minutes), 62 minutes left in the race = 50 minute final stint. I think they will need a splash, but it will be as tight as possible.

they pittet with roughly 1hour 44 left which will make it a 52 mins stint.

Maybe the slower pace of the ferrari is fuel saving

[airbusA346]

#50 NFA

[J Jay]

Everyone else will be fine for one last stop. #8 will save a few seconds as it has a lap more fuel.

Okay

[J Jay]

#50 gets away with it - NFA for the possible unsafe release.

Edit - #7 off at Dunlop.

[broadrun96]

Think it's the 50s to lose now, they can make it 2 more laps and that will get them to the end from there

And 7 got too much rear brake approaching Dunlop and around

[airbusA346]

Lopez having a moment with #7.

my four hour nap complete. coffee in hand. someone summarize the last 4 hours for me

[Toyotats03OUS]

Wooow they are babying the Ferraris with these penalties.

[veeten]

If taken by virtual energy measurement, the #8 is the advantage.

+1, both decisions are laughable.

Cars raced, track got wet, Ferrari did things and escaped penalty of course, Caddy driving without wiper as Caddies do, Lexus tried to lose weight by bonnet removal as usual

It rained, the 2 Caddy got a new wiper blade, Ferrari took out leading Toyota and only got a 5 second hold penalty
