#55 hit debris. No more headlights for the Mazda.
Sheer bad luck it was following the #90...

Hopefull a Porsche or a Ferrari can win GTLM now. Those two makes have not won in a while. Except for Lime Rock last year, Corvette, Ford, and BMW have won all races since start of 2017

Lights don't seem to work when under pit speed limiter. They work when at speed.

You couldn't have picked a more aggresive set of drivers in the top 4 (Tandy, PG, Vanthoor, Sims). Finish should be exciting. Lookout for the BMW straightline speed.

At least the #55 is back on sequence and right in the fight. Hope it still has the pace and will last for the rest of the race.

Can't rule out Briscoe either. Gavin in the Corvette is probably the long shot. I hope this is not a bad sign for Corvette at Le Mans this year.

we are going to last pit stops. The #55 need to be pushed by the crew, so it could lost a couple of seconds.

BTW Romain Dumas in 5th position.

FormulaFox is heading for a stewards' enquiry!
I think Joest has shown they've got the Mazda to the point that can compete for the win just about everywhere but Daytona. The rest of the season is looking a lot more interesting than it did at round 1.

I agree, and not just for the Mazdas but the Penske cars will be strong as well. Top 5 finish will be good for anybody in the non enduros

Its been fun to just follow the GT races today. I think Tandy and Sellers has what it takes to hold on.

Remember though that Porsche GT team has had a long history of problems at Sebring in the final 30 minutes.
