Weathertech out.

Wow, Nasr now down to a 3:32.3

Hedman is a bronze, right?

Yes, he is. Not sure about that. Perhaps they didn’t enter Pro/Am for some reason…. But why wouldn’t they?

That could be it
But #29 is pro-am.
I'd think Van Eerd is similar to Hedman, both bronze.
So that would be down to Van Der Garde and Van Uitert vs. Hanley and Montoya ...

EDIT
Just checked
Hanley and Van Uitert are gold rated
Van Der Garde and Montoya are platinum

So both diver crews have similar driver ratings

Kamui, driving very well. Very fast, just eeking out a lead.

Moaning Buemi back I see.

Ferrari333SP · 22 Aug 2021, 01:34 (Ref:4069244)

This Indy race is crazy; constant carnage

**Adam43** · 22 Aug 2021, 01:34 (Ref:4069246)

I can fly to the K MAN islands for $177

Hey, they made it as long as this current no slow zone at LM at least.

Ferrari333SP · 22 Aug 2021, 01:35 (Ref:4069251)

I'm moving to Oslo once the border opens to Americans; hopefully I can fly over in October, if not November. Always liked my flights with Delta

He should post on an internet forum.

I missed what he said. What was it?

Yeah, join the suitcases full of cash flying from DC out of the country

Hang on until the race has finished?

Toyota GR010 does not sound like much from the outside camereas, but the on board streaming sound is neat. Smooth sailing for #7 since the drop of the green for which I have kept that streaming onboard running. It gets over 5000 views at times.

Complaining about top speed, his race engineer said speeds were the same across cars.

...but if you look at timing/scoring, he's right. Almost ~4mph difference.

**Adam43** · 22 Aug 2021, 01:47 (Ref:4069262)

You always want to go faster if you're a race driver. Good man.

Ferrari333SP · 22 Aug 2021, 01:49 (Ref:4069264)

Catsburg in the Corvette just did a 3:49.373

broadrun96 · 22 Aug 2021, 01:53 (Ref:4069267)

Sounds like Cooper got banged up pretty good

Ferrari333SP · 22 Aug 2021, 01:56 (Ref:4069268)

Dumas slowly catching the JOTA car in 9th, 18 seconds in front of him

Porsche's don't seem to be quite there this year. Just like last in fact. This RSR 2019 version does not seem to like Le Mans much. It was the 2017 car that did great.

I think the only car that can stop a Ferrari win now is #3 Corvette. Recent Le Mans history has seen the Corvettes usually end up being competitive until a bonehead mistake is made by them in the last 4 hours ends their chances. At least its the #3 car that is contending and not the #4 as I think Tommy Milner is a very overratted driver.

**joeb** · 22 Aug 2021, 01:59 (Ref:4069271)

Over halfway there!

10 cars are out already, plus 2 are in garage that we don't think are going back in, and we lost 1 before the start.

It's 63 and 64 here

Pandamasque · 22 Aug 2021, 02:09 (Ref:4069276)

I'm starting to suspect WyldStallion has been watching IMSA.com timing all this time.

**Aysedasi** · 22 Aug 2021, 02:10 (Ref:4069277)

64 into the garage….
