Line of the race "Its like sand in your undies after a day at the beach"

Is there a reason they pull out the 29 first and then 63? Or is that just random?

I can only think because the 29 was closer to the track.

That other proto was the #38 I think

And it was just back in after having pitted not that long ago.

I'm glad someone else caught that.

And at the 2nd stop they switched drivers ? Davidson to Da Costa?
Or did that happen at their first stop?

EDIT: First stop

Thing with the Toyota is that they are smoking or steaming out the center of the car below the wing pylon. If it's out the exhaust (ahead of and to the sides of the pylon), then it'd be a big issue, it seems.

I'd say that it's almost like they could be bottoming out on a skid plate unless it's out of slow corners. If it's just out of slow corners, then it might be out of an overflow for water or oil.

I’ve been watching the onboard for the last stint and all seems to be ok

Oh we all caught it. But was surprised undies and not pants was used myself.

Well, the #8 is the fastest car on the track right now, so I doubt there's a major issue with that car, though they're looking out for the turbo problem and any other issue of potential concern.

Maybe we might even dodge the rain, though they're saying that the percentage chance of rain is still high.

"no concern", says Toyota

It's the last thing you say.

Leave me alone, I know what I'm doing!

gsmith2424 · 20 Sep 2020, 02:22 (Ref:4004552)

#63 retired.

gert · 20 Sep 2020, 02:23 (Ref:4004555)

#29 back out
#63 possibly retired, Vilander very unhappy about the accident

chernaudi · 20 Sep 2020, 02:24 (Ref:4004556)

Unless something major happens, Toyota #7 might get up to second at best. That might be optimistic if the higher ranked of the Rebellions keeps it clean. Of course, if it rains, the AWD of the Toyota will probably be a big advantage.

#62 takes out a stack of tires at the chicane

They needed to "rectify a driver comfort issue"

Next round of pitstops for the GTE-Am leaders...

**Adam43** · 20 Sep 2020, 02:30 (Ref:4004562)

And the jalapeno pretzels have come out...

It may delay the hourly update table.

gert · 20 Sep 2020, 02:30 (Ref:4004563)

big lock up for #24, now slow

**Aysedasi** · 20 Sep 2020, 02:31 (Ref:4004564)

Not good....

**Adam43** · 20 Sep 2020, 02:33 (Ref:4004567)

In the pits.
