Also did an unsafe release and got NFA for it...

[veeten]

Rain is letting up, but it will hit another cell by the time they decide to pit.

[J Jay]

Nielsen has managed 13 laps on this stint. He will make it if he can do 13 again.

[Toyotats03OUS]

I remember Toyota having an issue with a sensor last year and they told to come in immediately, Ferrari drives around with an open door for 9 laps, both car were under investigation for a sensor infringement, the 51 takes out the leading car if the race and the 50 unsafe release and everything they got out of that was a 5 sec added to the pits stop lol, what a jk

[TF110]

Did lopez blow it for the 7? lets see

[P3trolH3ad]

5 sec added to 51 for the contact,now no further action for clearly an unsafe release.What is up with this inconsistent penalising?

[broadrun96]

Chucking it down again isn't it? The Mustang looks massive next to a P2

Think it's working out perfectly for the 50 now, pit this lap and they should be clear to the end with under 50 min when they leave

Comme d'habitude is a well known song here!

The dunlop chicane is optional at this point

[Rick]

Taking so long to make them fix the door was handy ...

Needs sorting, otherwise it will become another Signe.

One thing to remember - all the other hypercars will only need partial (~2/3) tanks, so their stops will be shorter. #7 could be right with #50 when it pits and then force it to raise pace enough to pit again.

[Gerard C]

Sorry but he was safely released. Only thing, he ate the lolly pop when leaving. Thats it. No big deal imo.

It's FIA Lap 1 rules at first corner it seems. The 50 had warm tires and still skipped it coming out this time, to me that should be a straight up penalty as he didn't even try to stay on

51 just did it...

[broadrun96]

Did the 51, P2 and 50 miss Ford chicane and then Dunlop too? Why bother to make a track then??

[J Jay]

This chicane skipping is taking the mick, everyone is at it.

[Gerard C]

Yes they did!

You know the answer to this

[J Jay]

#6 stays out, presumably they'll run the tank dry and try to catch/push Nielsen.

Edit - 96% for #7, 83% for #51. Someone got it wrong?

[broadrun96]

Well everything I thought went to pot there so...

[Matador]

WTF is Seb DOING?!?!?

[J Jay]

#6 & #22 (LMP2 leader) pit.

Edit - #6 fuelled to 96%.

[fieldodreams79]

Trussers thinks the 50 can make it w/o a stop
