Tandy spins #35 round. Not the best race.

The corvette gets the WeatherTech Merc in the traffic. Clumsy by Engel, or a bit unlucky with the GTPs, but he’s back on the tail now.

Pretty consistent in the 2:05s. Which is a little faster than the the car was going in the stint before, but a little off the stint before that. |

Dixon is driving well, although the laps are a little slower than Bourdais. Slightly hotter, or just nicely doing a good consistent job looking after tires?

So Scott had to change tires due to a spin. He says he’s not experience the tire deg. others have experienced. But he thinks they’re OK. - RLM

Leader has a little trip off road. Locked up into the corner. Missed the barriers.

So is the strategy for #01 to go two stints on new tires to fly away up front, and now try to eke it out and live on the buffer gained? Almost looks like it.

To be fair his tyre pressures were fine though. |

And if you’ve got a nice car that is easy on tires, even better. Let’s watch the pace towards the end of this stint… He’s pretty much stuck in the 52s at the moment. |

If the 60 Shank car wins this race today or any other race for the rest of 2023, even if it is 100% legal which I'm sure it will be. There still will be a very bad taste. I'm cheering for Cadillac and BMW on the GTP end today.
For GTD...would be neat to see the Corvette sweep I think. Right now looks like Risi is leading..suprsingly the 91 Kelly moss Porsche is in 2nd. |

Top two in GTD...I have to admit I have never heard of these drivers. Who are Gabriel Casagrande and Jaxon Evans?

Legge lap time update. 2:06s laps are the norm now. Tires going off?

Still problem solved, they’ve changed drivers now. I’m annoyed at GT. Top GTDPRO is ahead of the top GTD. |

Great tire screeching on microphone in the background there.
Ben Hanley has a massive spin, but does it at the last corner with loads of space. Loses 7s on that lap (relative to the previous lap and the one after). |

Wow the amatuer hack driver of the #38 LMP3 car just about pushed Jules Gounon in the 79 Weathertech Mercedes off the road when Gounon was trying to make a pass. They did make side by side contact.

These GTP cars seems to be super sensitive to used tires. It's like they become LMP2s when on used tires.

Van der Zande probably about 10 laps until the next stop. Unless he decides to get some new tires a little earlier.

Car crashed. #35. Turn 16. Car and carbon fiber over the track.
I bet IMSA call a FCY for this. Typical! Edit: but it got going! Ha ha. I mean one of the wheels is completely broken. |

#35 now in pieces. Yep, FCY in place. 35 back into the pits though.

Couple of things that this influences the race.
Deletraz snuck in before the yellow! That’s worked well. Albuquerque in the car now. We won’t get to know if the #01 gets really bad tire deg. |

Albuquerque leads. That worked out well!
Look at that John Deere tractor! |
