Atlanta customer service and customer? Just another day and why are we wasting cops time?

[broadrun96]

Toyota scooting down the road aren't they?

That's a hella couple in laps but 5 second hold coming for the 8 according to Guy

[Adam43]

LEAD CHANGE ALERT!

[joeb]

Toyo takes the lead right before they are going to pit.

One thing i miss on rlm is the car to team transmissions that you get on the official tv stream

Actually buemi will serve a 5 second penalty this upcoming pit stop

Is that what you got? Because I read that he stole a drink, threw it across the restaurant, and then called the cops.

[broadrun96]

The 5 second may not be too painful, driver change and penalty for 8 and tire and driver for 51 I think I heard

I thought they called on him but I skimmed it

Yeah unclear who called. Sounds like the usual city reaction to getting asked to be a human. QT locked their side door at 10th St illegally cause people wouldn't stop stealing and throwing 32oz beer and seltzer cans. Store open 18 months and had to redo entire layout to see all the doors from the counter so unlock all 3 doors

But I generally think customers suck and most retail employees are no better and often angry. And that comes from a 10 year retail guy who thinks most retail employees are abused unfairly often

[TheMightyM]

The #4 Vanhall has been in the pits for some time. Any idea what that’s about?

[JHamilton]

We're talking piston speeds on RLM. I love this race.

I went to ask about that with Roller talking about header difference between Cup Camaro and Caddy V8. There's a lot more differences than that and you've hit the big sound difference there

[pach233]

Toyota with their best phase of the race so far. Opening up a healthy gap despite the 5 sec penalty. Longest stretch of dry green running so far.

[broadrun96]

Yeah, they're making a huge gap to the 51 aren't they

Have we seen the 94 back out? See it listed at +2 laps currently and it's been longer than that since they were in

[Toyotats03OUS]

Brendan is quick. No complains from him about the car-pretty much never

[broadrun96]

A tenner, or British money 2 pints of beer. I like the Eurosport math for the WEC app cost the rest of the season

The 358 is still based on the Gen I/II small block Chevy. In fact, all of the Cup engines are like every top fuel drag engine is based on a Gen I Hemi. The engine in the Caddy is the same as the Corvette GT2/E/LM engine, based on the LS/LT architecture. THere are tons of really geeky differences but just as many similarities.

He does seem to be the anti-Buemi in the car

Made me laugh too.

By next week it'll be 1 pint.

I liked the Toyota team making Buemi pass on some advice on the radio before he pitted.

Car burn dinos, go fast, make noise and not hurt my ears like TA Mustang, all a simple mind needs to know. I know, high piston speed makes ears hurt and the TA motor is not good at 50' on the back stretch at Road Atlanta

I never understood why with all the radios they don't all do exactly that on last lap

[Adam43]

G56 up to 32nd, effective 6th in GTE.

Kessel just stopped, Iron Dames leads. Iron Dames probably got about 3 laps till they stop.

Iron Dames are changing to Lambo! I don't think I knew that.

And sounded like they're moving up as well to the Hypercar program?

[Adam43]

WRT close to COOL. Now COOL off!

[broadrun96]

That's no good for the 47 there and definitely not factree bodywork

Ok, totally not factree, is that his line across the gravel directly at the wall on the left?

Yes, to go along with the Prema/Iron Lynx Lambo LMDh entry. Which will look amazing by the way, if the new Revuelto is anything to go by.
