Sounds like this could be a crazy 35 minutes.

[airbusA346]

#86 Ferrari with issues.

[broadrun96]

Ferrari remote shutdown of a GT3 car for assistance??

Where's that tin foil hat emoticon, it's around here somewhere

[fieldodreams79]

that'll be a slow zone! if so, the 50 will certainly be able to make it. or am way off?

[veeten]

FCY!!!!
... if the car can't restart.

[Gerard C]

W/O a stop he will have to dry the fuel lines!

I was thinking it was good at 50 minutes with rain pace and 30 seconds in hand. They've gained almost 10 percent of energy and gaining time

I think 50 will just be OK. They've got 64% left for 30 mins, having used 36% in 20 mins

[airbusA346]

Slow Zone incoming

[broadrun96]

Uh oh, is that time coming towards the track again??

Yeah, and SZ helps them a ton too. Unless he tries to bin it in the Porsche Curves again

[fieldodreams79]

And more wet stuff coming in. Maybe not until after the checkered flag?

Edit - SLOW ZONE. Surely the 50 can make it now.

[joeb]

One more rain shower to spice things up?

Somehow the Ferrari moved out of the pit exit and up the hill before stopping again.

[PhilipR]

28 mins left and 58% energy....this will be so close and depending what the clock says when they enter final lap

Looks like it's properly raining in S3.

[fieldodreams79]

slow zone lifted

[broadrun96]

Can the 8 screw with everyone pitting this late and getting new tires with the heavier rain coming in? Or not worth the time

And they didn't go with tires


REALLY thought the 2 had a chance to get on the podium again this year but the last pit rounds seem to have ended that staying deep in the high single digits

[Gerard C]

This was unsafe release too.

[J Jay]

#6 is catching #51 for a possible podium.

[Gerard C]

Twenty minutes to go.

[airbusA346]

#99 Proton Porsche has rejoined the race.

[PhilipR]

would a 5 seconds fcy emergency stop help the 50?

The math is getting closer and closer, under 50% with 25 minutes left. If the 51 stays on the podium after punting the 8 the penalty was completely pointless


The 50 can definitely drop pace and needs to. Even at 5 seconds a lap faster there isn't a ton of time left to catch up and pass
