at the end of FP2 the top 7 in GTD are different makes. That is pretty remarkable.

Qualifying!.
“Another red car” in the wall. Then a “green car” decided to join it after a bit! Red flag. GT Q is all over. |

GTP goes 1 lap then tire change, scrubbing things in.
Interesting the pit crew doesn't need full safety gear apparently for qualifying? guy changing tires for Penske had no helmet on, just sunglasses. |

Q on a shorter track and no tyre warmers is quite interspersing seeing them build up to it.
10.7 Blom. |

Is this the first time GTP has been faster than DPi? the heavy weight and mechanical grip seems to be helping times at Long Beach here.

The metallic blue on the front of the #10 Acura looks smart. Shiny.

Not particularly bright from Bourdais there, nor from Blomqvist for the squeeze. Thankfully only those two cars were affected.

My goodness, the Bimmers are rolling! Must've poured some "liquid BOP" in the gas tanks, 'cause they are on the move.

Anyone know what happened with the WTR Acura at that stop? Just long stop or did something different with tyres?
