Surely the Corvette will have to pit too for plenty of tape to be applied.

This time this isn't bad luck, it was Frey's fault.

Another race that the Iron Dames can’t avoid hitting something.

No Graham, the Corvette was totally innocent in that, don’t try to justify that move.

If Cadillac doesn't mess up with tyres they will be a good shape for a podium. Dallaras are looking great today. Still wonder why Porsche is so weak.

FCY called for debris from various incidents.


Don't see it benefitting anybody on pit strategy.

Are they? The 6 didn't qualify well but is making good progress, the 12 was running nicely, also making progress before terminal issue. And the 5 just had bad luck at the start.

#6 is up to 7th, races like this where you aren’t quite on the pace but still salvage a result are the ones that win championships.

I'm surprised the Corvette hasn't been flagged for it's bodywork.

Porsche struggles on bumpy tracks. They have to raise the ride height and they lose more performance from this than others.

Their standout races were weekends like Fuji and Indianapolis last year and qatar this year. All three of these circuits have billiard table smooth tarmac.

Saving tyres or what so ever else is an option.

Are #50 using the same tyre strategy as #83 with rear right hard? Doesn't work at the moment.

Don't think Penske has tons of knowledge at Cota. Never run there in the Hypercars, and nothing in IMSA, nothing in Indy, maybe a nascar race? but is that transferable knowledge?

They did a test day not that long ago (but before the resurfacing took place).
