IMSA Race Sebring 12 Hours 2021 - Page 4

At this stage looks like cars are just circulating completing laps. Running real hard of course. I like this part of Sebring a lot if it stays green flag of course. Great time to just watch cars and listen to the engines.

Still considering how well the #16 and #9 Porsches are going. The #88 in the same car should be higher perhaps? I think Legge/Nielsen is one lap down. I don't know if something extra put them back though. Maybe someone here knows.

Timing says the #48 is on the lead lap in 5th. Looks like they are still in it. Not sure how much seat time Johnson has had though. Hope he gets more. Simon Pagenaud looks like is getting most of it so far. Saving Kamui for night time I guess.

Cooper MacNeil in the #79 Posche right now. About half a lap behind the #3 Corvette, goal for him is to get ouf of car on lead lap.

Cloudy and in the 70s during the afternoon. A small chance of rain.

Corvettes looking quick...

Yes! I was at Sebring one year and missed regional Pinewood Derby for both kids (their last ever, so I kinda regret it). But grandpa went and had to fix my illegal car and younger one took 2nd and was quicker than my setup. The old man still has it!!

You don't pay attention to detail. I was referring to IMSA TV in car cameras. 48 cam has crashed permanently

Ha! I remember the pack leader at one saying "we're all here to have fun! Winning doesn't matter". I turned to someone and said "naw, playa"! We came for blood!!

4th for my boy. He was gutted to miss out on a podium - “next year we go for the win!”. We won the pack, today was districts, so he’s only known wining!

Not bad for first proper go (last year we entered a car, but were in England).

I have joined you in a chair with cold beer. Going to get snacks soon too...

That is true until the cars are on track, then I’m glad we are watching on zoom!

It’s been quite good for the last half hour or so. I’ve also put the radio on separately so that when it buffers the race kind of goes on. Not perfectly synced, but hey.

District is what my kids did!! Not region.

4th is respectable but yeah; no hardware.

And what a coincidence!! A bit breezy and cool but a gorgeous day!! More cold snacks and a stogie!

Think the wife is gonna do some homemade wings....

**Adam43** · 20 Mar 2021, 21:07 (Ref:4041839)

Mrs43 has just told me off for not having the timing screen up. I don’t deserve wings.

**Adam43** · 20 Mar 2021, 21:09 (Ref:4041840)

48 in trouble?

**Adam43** · 20 Mar 2021, 21:12 (Ref:4041842)

Random (unimportant) thought. If you care about the comedy endurance points you get at the 4 hour and the 8 hour mark, what happens if someone gets an advantage by doing something naughty just before, grabs the points, but then serves the penalty just after?

(It was a long yellow and my mind wandered)

gotta step it up!!

We're picking up wings, instead.

belt driven · 20 Mar 2021, 21:44 (Ref:4041849)

Looks curtains for AXR

edit: not as bad as it looked.

fieldodreams79 · 20 Mar 2021, 21:44 (Ref:4041850)

Wow. That's a mistake from Nasr. Not sure how they both escaped that is much as they did!

fieldodreams79 · 20 Mar 2021, 21:52 (Ref:4041851)

Well, not sure that's a penalty for the #31....

gert · 20 Mar 2021, 21:53 (Ref:4041852)

Stupid call to hand them a penalty IMO

Cold beer started at noon, Guinness on sale week so drink em like it's water.
Tried to post a picture of the day but tapatalk said no sir. Double stogie working in the yard day, new trellis 8' high for the beans and peas listening to Hindy for a bit.

Will NOT make it to the end of the race today. Yup, in bed before 10 on a Saturday because I'm old

**Adam43** · 20 Mar 2021, 22:20 (Ref:4041859)

Super super close at the front.

Kebab (kebob as it’s known round here), bhajis and other lovely stuff for tea. No wings, so I still fail.

gert · 20 Mar 2021, 22:28 (Ref:4041861)

Will they let the #10 get away with that?
It is an Acura after all ... Cue last season ...

**Adam43** · 20 Mar 2021, 22:28 (Ref:4041862)

Hindy getting giddy!

JoeW04 · 20 Mar 2021, 22:37 (Ref:4041863)

An overly long imsa caution

**Adam43** · 20 Mar 2021, 22:38 (Ref:4041865)

I like the brake disc rolling on the pit lane
