That's right. And Henry Aaron is the real home run champ. #44

It would be nice if James Colado could stick his car in the gravel right about now.

#7	11	12	8	9	15	13	15	12	14	7	13	9	13	13	13	13	13
#8	10	13	13	13	15	7	11	12	15	15	13	11	13	13	13	13
#36	12	12	12	13	13	12	6	11	10	12	13	10	7	12	12	12	12	12
#708	10	13	12	13	14	12	15	14	12	13	13	13	12	13	13	13
#709	9	13	13	13	13	13	5	13	14	3	11	13	13	13	13	13	13

The 3rd and 4th stint might be off for some as there is a missing pit stop for every car other than #7. Apparently, Buemi and Dumas did 26 laps and Negrao and Mailleux did 25 laps!

13 laps seems normal for Toyota. 13 pretty common for Glick. 12 for Alpine.

Green	10:1:14
Yellow	0:42:16
FCY	0:02:33
SC	1:32:50
Slow Zone	1:50:03

370+ laps still on. If we get clean running like we have recently.

Brake change on the 52, and looks like complications in driveline

Important bit is if Corvette will need the same of they can make it without as Aston did last year. They did not need a change at Daytona this year

WyldStallion · 22 Aug 2021, 04:11 (Ref:4069471)

GTE Am leader (currently #83 Ferrari) looks to be 5th in overall GT now.

Ferrari333SP · 22 Aug 2021, 04:11 (Ref:4069472)

Only the two WRT's remain in front of the 709

broadrun96 · 22 Aug 2021, 04:14 (Ref:4069473)

With extended full greens it seems like the hypers can get a good run on the LMP2s. 708 doesn't seem like they are falling behind the WRTs at pit stops any longer

Think I'm gonna try to get a couple hours rest, although an hour until the sunrise makes me want to stay and watch the daybreak. But eyes and brain fading

**Adam43** · 22 Aug 2021, 04:16 (Ref:4069475)

New front on the Toyota #8.

#7 lock up?

Ferrari333SP · 22 Aug 2021, 04:19 (Ref:4069476)

709 now only 1:52 out of 6th

Sounded like they were saying when brakes have cooled there's a chance of lockup on the radio?

They are sticking to it! Only making a few seconds max per lap though. Those WRT cars as still so quick!

broadrun96 · 22 Aug 2021, 04:26 (Ref:4069480)

Hopefully the Glicks will keep running well, worn the shirts all day but bed calls. Baseball guy and superstition is strong here

Those two WRT's are safely in 1st and 2nd in class, so I don't think they'll push as hard as they have been for a while, which should allow the 709 to get closer and closer

Ferrari333SP · 22 Aug 2021, 04:29 (Ref:4069482)

708 now only 53 seconds behind the Alpine

You're starting at a much higher level than he is though.

Hopefully he still has his sense of humor as he is enormous and could squash me.

Ferrari333SP · 22 Aug 2021, 04:30 (Ref:4069484)

Skies starting to brighten up ever so slightly around the circuit

**Adam43** · 22 Aug 2021, 04:30 (Ref:4069485)

There is a hint of sunrise…

The other car, 708 has already made more 13 seconds up on 3rd place over this stint. Derani is flying!

Pipo is greased lightning.

No, you speak the truth

Nasr has best time in a P2 for the race. Makes you wonder how they aren't winning all the time in the Caddy in Imsa. Oh wait, they got the last two....

J Jay · 22 Aug 2021, 04:36 (Ref:4069490)

So I had a nap and LMP2 is nigh-on unrecognisable again...

What has kept #22 in the pits?

**Adam43** · 22 Aug 2021, 04:37 (Ref:4069491)

Sunrise is 7:03 BTW. Before you get to it (or after sunset). There are varying degrees of twilight.

There is no passing the time of it and the sun isn’t there.

I know I heard them say this, but can't remember for the life of me!
