Feel like the announcers treated it as a when, not if that Estre's suicide mission was going to end.
I am enjoying this Diffey/Fish/TK trio as Tom has been roasting drivers constantly. |

Estre is a very lucky boy to get away with that one.

So while I was making breakfast, Estre binned the #6?

Yep. Went for a dodgy lunge down the inside of Kubica at the first high speed right hand corner of the Porsche Curves. He lost control, went through the gravel trap and just tapped the barrier.
Initially he didn't even pit after the incident but has now conceded the floor damage is too much to continue without repairs. |

And he has now dropped behind the #93 Peugeot and #708 Glick whilst upo on jacks in the garage. Expensive bit of impatience for Estre.

Still catching up I see that that NASCAR has now moved ahead of all the GT-AM cars

#8 slowly catching #51 again, gap down to 20 seconds.

Good battle between the Inter Europol and Team WRT. Kubica is close behind, made a pass at Arnage, but went off the road doing so and had to give the place back. The NASCAR is doing a good job and more than holding its own.

Neat job by Kubica in the end.

Commentators clearly forgetting Button's Super GT title.
I do wonder if Button will be pushing for a Le Mans seat in a Hypercar next year. |

Also I can see that the #33 Vette has pulled itself back on to the lead lap in GTE-AM

Look at that. I took a second to look away, and Kubica gets his pass done.

#51 slow? It does look like the front right tyre is vibrating more than it should.
Cairoli passes Frey for the lead in GTE-Am. |

Interesting team radio there sound like the #51 has flat spotted the tyres

Looking at the driver's best lap times, all the Iron Dames are on about 3:54/55 whereas the #56 has their silver driver about that pace, Cairoli a couple of seconds quicker and the bronze a lot slower. So it might come down to the balance of how much more time Cairoli can get in the car compared to PJ Hyett.

#708 stuck after looping between Indianapolis and Arnage.
#6 returns to the track. |

#8 lost ~8 seconds in what should have been identical pit stops for it and #51. That seems to have happened quite a few times to Toyota across the race so far.
Edit - Something is up with #8, Buemi asking the engineer how ?? can be unlocked, told to "push it forward and roll it back." |

Dont want to jinx it but this has been an amazing job so far by Inter Europol.
Nice job by Glickenhaus to repair the #708 so fast. LOL Literally 30 seconds later and the Inter Europol car is in the gravel. Why does this always happen to me? |

It's almost scripted for maximum drama with #8 and #51 stopping together like this.
