Ferrari #50 on a different pit sequence took advantage of it. Got ahead of the #8.

And it is trying again - pitting while there is a slow zone. Ferrari getting strategy right?!

#7 lost out by being overtaken. Cars queuing up to do this!

Bonnet up on #98

[rdjones]

I guess #98 is going to be pitting shortly....

The vette is back out

[airbusA346]

#13 big off!

[rdjones]

#13 big off

[ScotsBrutesFan]

Another biggie

[J Jay]

#13 off in a big way. Taylor binned it on the Mulsannes.

[broadrun96]

13 now out, Ricky at the wheel and that's a SC

Apparently not so much, that looked like a ton of debris but maybe the following cars shoved it off line

I wonder who he hit this time?

[JT240Z]

Yellow flag out.

It's like the car takes over

Wow, he just looks like he forgot there was a corner there

[rdjones]

Surely we must be going Safety Car

[rika]

Taylor makes sure the missed stop/go doesn't matter any more

[Toyotats03OUS]

LMP2 doing their best to bring the FCY.

[rika]

crap, some Nascar ad when the race is going on. Why?

Almost seemed inevitable this week. Everyone else gives a sigh of relief.

[airbusA346]

Who has Picariello being driving into in the Porsche?

[rika]

come on guys I don't need Nascar ad and miss action, we paid for ad free

Yeah, I give Tower grief in IMSA all the time and they often earn it but this week it's been crazy. I have to believe they named that chassis Christine for some reason. Ricky isn't really that guy but that's twice today he's tried to drive through a car

[Adam43]

incident involving #13 and #48 under investigation.

One of the slow zones ending a few seconds.

[Gerard C]

Mailleux at race direction, but why?
