Both Cadillacs in again for a splash. Not a bad call - they haven't lost much track position and they'll be good to go full rich.

#31 and #5 in again.

To actually make sure on the fuel.

Maybe fuel is still part of the equation.

Someone must have done some calculations there, but that looked odd.

Not necessarily - 36-37 minutes is a full stint for DPi. I think it was calculated perfectly; the Acuras cannot respond, or they will lose track position. Now they have both Cadillacs with nothing to lose right behind.

Good point in the RLM booth about them getting the tyres up to temperature a little more as they blast round to catch up.

Quickest FCY where they did a full procedure has been 17 minutes. And they are normally over 20 minutes. So this is normal.

My point is more with why does it have to be so long, if it was just a stationary car they had to deal with

Well, a "miscommunication" seems to have done for the #29. They should have pitted with the other LMP2s, but have pitted a lap later.

belt driven has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Green is due. Caddies have 36 to go, Acuras 43 minutes.
