That safety car screwed up everything, which stinks honestly. The 3 Corvette feel to 23rd place. Looks like 32 Mercedes is leading now.

I don’t like FCY either, but if I was in race control there is no way I do anything different other than bunch the cars up. Even if I could completely ignore the series own procedures. |

Racing back on. Long time to go.
The corvette is battling through that traffic. Looks light, dust kicked up into the windshield. |

Aw! I hope the Whelen can defend from the cheaters.

Car off! Not half on the track so no FCY. Hopefully gets going easily so we don’t have to have one.
Bourdais into he lead. Using his new tires. |

Quite a few penalties including for the #78 which restarted second in GT.

Spin at the final corner. Gets going. No FCY.
GTD > GTDPRO again. Wonderful. |

Is that Heriau still in the #35? He was leading earlier but just spun at Sunset.

They’re going to want to keep the track clear when there is a tow truck on the circuit. Whether actually on the track or not. A local yellow won’t cut it. This ain’t an IMSA thing either. Probably best if we take it to the thread on this. ‘Cus we don’t want to distract from the racing. Last edited by Adam43; 18 Mar 2023 at 15:54. |

Corvette just carving through the field as if the others are in a lower class.
BoP clearly working as intended :/ |

23rd to 7th in GTD in a matter of minutes. I personally would think its neat to see Corvette sweep GT for Super Sebring. Notice how the GTD Corvette qualified faster than the full GTE spec Corvette.

It’s fastest lap (2.141) isn’t quite up with the WetherTech Merc (1.982), but get out of traffic and it might be able to stretch its legs. |

2 seconds a lap faster than all class leaders in front. 3 seconds a lap faster than the car you overtook a lap ago. That's how you do it. Of course, there is only 1 US-built car in GT. Is it any wonder they have it a bit easier? |

Have all 17 of your posts on here been complaining about BoP?

Porsche's struggling for tires much like in WEC yesterday. Didn't change during the last stops.
Derani also very much struggling in the #31 and the second of the BMWs is right behind. Edit: Derani goes straight on. Tyres are gone. |

Derani is not having a good time of it. Those tires not helping.

So far it looks like 91 and 60(ahem) are best on tire wear
All others seem to lose with Porsche quite horribly so |

It’s interesting about the Porsche. These kind of things have always been important in endurance racing, but getting a consistent car is even more crucial in this flavor of rules.
