Jimmie said it might not be so good in the wet as they don't have amazing wet tyres.

Don't know why they put JJ in the car in the first place. Austin Cindric and A J Almendinger run away from a Nascar field in the rain.

I haven't seen any repairs but there were a few cars well in the gravel and well off track in an access road and guessing there were a few sections that needed more than duct tape

It feels like a full race already not just 3 hours 20

[Firehawk505]

TIL there are three safety cars.

Cindric not so much, he's not exactly the dominant driver Nascar and racer like to pub, wrecks as often as leads. And he's got a car to drive

Dinger would have been interesting choice, does a lot with usually a not as prepped car

[Ferrari333SP]

Fuuuuu, this is taking forever

[Gerard C]

You've enough time to put a joint in the owen! The race direction…

[ScotsBrutesFan]

Why not shuffle the pack now if they are going to, rather than wait until it dries more

[rika]

Is something going on?
Or what are they waiting for?

[Gerard C]

Bourdais the native was talking about SZ's, saying that its absolute mess, interruption, then another SZ, then… A total mess. In good french, c'est le bordel!

Cindric IS a dominant driver on road courses. In the old cars @ COTA in '21, he put 9 seconds on 'Dinger, who put 4.5 seconds on third place in pouring rain before red flag.

JJ is working on 150 race winless streak.

Umm cause ACO?

[Gerard C]

Anyone knows when the SC will pit?

[broadrun96]

An actual intentional shot of the Camaro there


The Camaro has to look like me walking through a crowd of normal humans

At the end of its fuel window

Come on guys, want to see race!
Not cars go slow and do nothing.

If this to new rule then this is very very stupid!

How long's a fuel stint for it?

[justracing]

Making the most of the Peugeot parade. It's Le Mans.

They put JJ in because of who he is.

[v8supes]

The FIA have been trying to outlaw wet racing for some time. They don’t want the bad publicity or insurance costs.

I’d gamble on soft slicks before the restart

[bjohnsonsmith]

Lots of screen time for the Camaro Cup car.

Someone should wake him up so he can restart race finally!
