Maybe they were thinking a full course caution was coming?

negri holds his spot at ~+12.5s for 10 laps already, I rather see the #01 coming back into the lead pack than negri making advances, sadly

Problems for the right rear of the #10 WTR DP. Sucks for the team, but I'm just glad I didn't pick them in the FRC for once.

do others feel burning out your tyres on pit launch is unsafe? (seeing the #911 there fuming off)

(post reply edit: I should've added I know it's allowed in IMSA and not in WEC/elsewhere, because of safety concerns; I was referring to the specific take-off, seeing how creamer squeaked)

I meant it was a British marshal as he was in orange.

Wonder if the #60 can go longer and save time by not taking four tyres at their final stop? Edit: only a little bit longer, no point double stinting.

Don't the ACO have a penalty for laying the black stuff on pit exit for exactly this reason?

I don't think it's dangerous per se (as in sending lumps of rubber flying or losing control of the car) but it could be indicative of the driver trying to get away ASAP and therefore not being as cognizant of their surroundings as they could be.

At LM, the ACO are very intolerant of wheel spin in the pits. In the sprint races, they're a little more lenient, but they won't allow full burn outs obviously. In IMSA, it's basically a NASCAR stop, smoky burn out and all. Even in the ALMS days, IMSA were pretty catch as catch can when it came to that stuff, even if the teams were conservative on wheel spin.

The 31 car had been dominant the last few rounds. Cameron sure knows how to drive the wheels off of a DP. Would like to see him get the opportunity somewhere outside of IMSA for comparison purposes.

Also, did the 5 night get any penalty for spinning the 90?

Now the 5 guests spun in turn 1!!!

No penalty for the #5 IIRC. Which, according to my FRC-centred morality, is a very good thing!

I could do without the spin though, but 2nd to a rampant Dane Cameron is nothing to be ashamed of. I've not been hot on IMSA this year, could the #31 be driving (and winning) enough to secure its future for next year and beyond?

The 31 and 5 will both be back with the same drivers in 2016. They announced it this weekend.
