That's the first mistake I've seen (or remember, anyway) Colin make in a looooooong time.

They thought there would be a FCY for the 54's accident

This has restored my faith in so many things .... as in so many issues related to ESM, Pipo Derani is the answer.

But he just did the fastest sector 2 of the race, and a 1:35:4, only 4 tenths slower than the absolute fastest lap

Comically bad camera work and producing on this thing the announcers to see in the background the change for the league potentially happening and the producers can't get the camera on it they follow some GT cars instead

Lagunaseca_4life · 3 Jul 2016, 18:23 (Ref:3656671)

Cameras total miss the 5 and 55 side by side,FAIL!

That surprised me too but it turns out the car has some issues

At least it was the battle for the GTLM lead and not the battle for 17th in GTD

For sure, this has happened the last couple years I think. A win post Le Mans has been rather rare. Explanation this year is more simple turbos are better than the non turbos.

... and the same goes for Porsche

J Jay · 3 Jul 2016, 18:34 (Ref:3656676)

#55 is going to have to really stretch the fuel to get to the end on one more stop, assuming it remains green...

...

... who am I kidding?

That will be 4th sooner or later, for Marc Goossens will most likely eventually crash into something or someone.

Holy cow you called it!

You deserve a medal, Sir.

gert · 3 Jul 2016, 18:39 (Ref:3656681)

Frankly, when did he not hit something/someone?

--

some people taking advantage of the FCY. Some at a real disadvantage now. Strange how that works sometimes.

Goosens spins, then forgets how a car works, drives across the track and is stuck right now. Probably a FCY coming.

JHamilton · 3 Jul 2016, 18:40 (Ref:3656685)

FCY GAAAAAAAAAH

J Jay · 3 Jul 2016, 18:41 (Ref:3656686)

Well at least every P car can make it on one stop from here...

Brings Derani a little closer as well. But if it comes down to pit stop speed the DP's will have the advantage

gert · 3 Jul 2016, 18:43 (Ref:3656688)

As for Goossens: bring back Valiante. Surely he can't be doing a worse job?

MaskedRacer · 3 Jul 2016, 18:44 (Ref:3656689)

Valiente was not that great either. VisitFlorida team needs to find someone who is less mistake prone.

**joeb** · 3 Jul 2016, 18:45 (Ref:3656690)

Stoppage under yellow makes sense somehow.......

Less prone to driving into things like P2 cars. Valiente can stay out too.

MaskedRacer · 3 Jul 2016, 18:45 (Ref:3656692)

I guess this is the first race where the new traction control has really made a difference and made LMPC cars faster?

Maybe they could check if Scott Pruett is doing something.
Or a talented PC driver?
