Typical ... full course yellow ...

Just heard the IMSA radio Porsche keys to the race. They are. Don’t crash. Drive quickly. And wear a helmet.

I think we have a moan about yellows thread somewhere.

Whether we should have a yellow if the kerbs have come lose on a street circuit can be discussed there. We would like to concentrate on how bad the TV coverage is here.

Pfaff Porsche assaulted by a loose wheel nut of the #3 Corvette (which they got a penalty for).

That's rotten luck

Keys to the race:

Keep hold of your nuts.
Don’t let your door fall off.

13 minutes of yellow. That's 13% of the race.

I agree this race should be longer. It’ll be over too soon.

I feel there isn't enough yellow.

Only one Corvette and only half the Porsche. It's spring time (ok summer there but they don't have winter so), we need more Easter basket colors (colours for you foreign folk) to celebrate

Also, while we're celebrating Festivus. I want to whinge about the lack of RLM on the Peacock feed.

And that's a GARBAGE penalty. He didn't do anything or bring a new door. That's actually something to whinge about IMSA rules about.

**Adam43** · 9 Apr 2022, 22:27 (Ref:4106036)

I thought unfair. While, I’m sure, technically not allowed. Need some judgement. Still, probably didn’t hurt them.

Green (!), let the chaos begins.

gert · 9 Apr 2022, 22:27 (Ref:4106037)

7 more minutes lost ...

BMW drive-through was for De Philippi trying to fix the door. That's stupid

**Adam43** · 9 Apr 2022, 22:29 (Ref:4106038)

Can we have a yellow, I’ve just finished my drink.

Keys to the race. Gin and Tonic and sarcasm.

gert · 9 Apr 2022, 22:30 (Ref:4106039)

Derani got by Taylor.

broadrun96 · 9 Apr 2022, 22:31 (Ref:4106040)

Nice shot of the tire barrier, looked like a fella could get some decent tires there.

Damn, he got that car out of there? They do need a better strap, looked like the bundle broke and a strap came flying up when he hit it.

Carbahn Lambo gonna need emergency service, that was a good sideways thunk on the wall themselves

**Adam43** · 9 Apr 2022, 22:36 (Ref:4106043)

Good move by Pipo.

broadrun96 · 9 Apr 2022, 22:39 (Ref:4106044)

Yes, let's discuss the ABS system in GT3 instead of the last 7 minutes of the race. Seems right

Well that's a paddlin' for WeatherTech car. No chance that move was gonna work dude

gert · 9 Apr 2022, 22:40 (Ref:4106045)

Stupid move Marciello

They should make drivers watch old races here.

Well he could have watched a couple DPi guys try the same angle

Oh wait, didn't go any better for them either.

**Adam43** · 9 Apr 2022, 22:47 (Ref:4106050)

A wall to tallest on the box. Classic.

And they tried again. To Westbrooks delight.

Shame that’s over, but short and sweet.

Crikey, I still have Saturday night left.

broadrun96 · 9 Apr 2022, 22:52 (Ref:4106053)

Not exactly stellar driving and oddly the pros were all to blame for it. Couple GTDs bent the tire barriers, DPis attempting to occupy the same space of land as walls or other cars. Odd penalties and loose bits of cars and track. Seems like we had everything but rain.

Overall a bit meh, but that's racing at Long Beach. There's a reason we're there and it's not the quality of the racing. The only reason Kyle Washington is there instead of "another GT series" to quote the coverage is the same reason the series is there. Gladhanding, hosting and getting the sponsors out to the track sells the series budgets.

Ok, no audio delay makes up for track. Tired of the pretending guys in race cars don't talk like that, don't like it DON'T EFFING WATCH and go find PBS Masterpiece

That's how I feel with the morning F1 Euro rounds. Well that's done and I've had breakfast, there's still the day to go so I can be useful.
