Such a sinking feeling isnt it? Lol. It's partially back. Video quality not up to par yet.

Re: bop cutting championship close: probably. But at least you can look at it as the newer cars are getting further sorted and catching up as well.

Stream quality back!

ESM finally got its stuff together, and the JDC Oreca and PR1 Ligier both got stronger .... but the Caddys had one foot cut off too.

BoP had nothing to do with almost losing the title. They almost lost to another Caddy team. It's just that the points system punishes DNFs very harshly. They made their way to the lead today and were legitimate challengers, they were fine. If this engine failure had happened for the 31, it'd look even more dominant for the 10.

I'm gonna choose to accentuate the improvements made and not the bop and just appreciate the great racing with still-legitimate results and just be a fan again.

If I'm following correctly, Montoya lost a few seconds then began turning the fast laps, which was him getting the clear track the others had when he lost a few seconds.

Yes, but the gap to the leader is trending downwards. Was almost 40 seconds, now down at 30 seconds. Leader has pulled 5 seconds on the pack, so it's more he's made up on the others. There's a lot of up and down, but it's trended downwards so far.

He just need to follow the leaders and wait.

Surprised the yellow took this long, there's quite a bit of debris out there.

I am not that bitter .... I have been enjoying this season, and I would have been just as happy no matter who won the championship.

I am thrilled to have real race cars really racing in IMSA again.

I couldn't make the race this year---but I am loving it on the Internet. Battles all over the track, good fights for the lead .... four-wide GTLMs, two pair of GTLMs side-by-side through the esses .... this is the sort of stuff which keeps me watching through the bad years.
