IMSA Race 6 hours of the Glen

[JT240Z]

One Posche down. One to go.

[J Jay]

#10 missing its left-rear wheel.

[kvenom]

What is going on with these wheels?

[fergus_r]

The wheels are falling off for WTR! Albe randomly loses the left rear.

[JT240Z]

Second car to lose an entire wheel. Not sure what could cause this.

WTF is Felipe doing on the racing line?!!

[v8supes]

What are all these tyre penalties about?

Not sure what else he's supposed to do with one-wheel steering at that point. To go into the pits he had to stick to the right-hand side.

[JT240Z]

Tons of tire pressure monitors showing low tire pressure and now penalties.

[fergus_r]

And they get a speeding drive through for good measure.

10 skipped the boot, so wouldn't be surprised if he loses another lap. Missing a wheel doesn't let you skip a third of the circuit to return.

He definitely will, but to WTR it may end up quicker anyway, rather than trudging around the boot.

If he can steer, he can and should have stayed off the racing line, especially with how much paved runoff there is at 10 with a blind exit. To your point, he at least held the line, but that was NOT the best he could've done, imho.

I feel like skipping the boot is the safest and quickest option. Probably helped not losing an additional lap...

[fergus_r]

Albuquerque isn’t gonna make this easy for Jaminet…

Whooopy! Just earned my custom avatar.

[JT240Z]

Number 7 out due to hyperdrive issues.

That's fair, he could have moved over before the cars came up to him on the apex of T10.

Nice choice

#6 power limit warning. First time we've seen that this season?

No, I don't think so. Can't remember now where it happened before (Le Mans?) but I've seen Porsche exceeding maximum torque already.


Also these hybrid issues happening in pretty much every race for at least one Porsche car. Everyone's having the same spec parts so... chassis/engine integration problem or software problem?

Finally home and cooling down a bit, hot morning in a parking lot.

Think we had a few of them at Daytona and Sebring

Looks like a few folks are taking the Nascar line through the corners and right over the curbing

[tomcug]

There's clearly something wrong with the 963's hybrid drive. Torque violations at different races and lots of failures.

[JT240Z]

So non Porsche of them. I was expecting reliability to be high given Porsche and Penske as a pair.

[v8supes]

What can they do though while the car is homologated?

[JT240Z]

Porsche in the lead again.

[joeb]

Gosh, I thought this race actually started at 2:00 p.m. because that's what it said on the imsa website, but nope, that's when TV coverage started, not the race.
