It is a curious one that the Lexus is so good in IMSA but not anywhere else.

Not a great race sadly, fairly processional, Caddy clearly on top and a few odd yellows that messed things about as they were getting interesting.

Didn't realise they did the whole race on one set. So same as last year, double stinting was the key to victory |

Good Lord, was Indy in charge of penalties on that last incident? Ridiculous they hit that Lambo who got hit twice by De Phillipi and Jaminet caused the whole thing anyway. But guess Long Beach means oh well, it's the hairpin.
At least De Phillipi got his just desserts later trying to destroy all the extra fronts. And the team didn't check it enough cause something was definitely broken. But proved why LB is only worth watching recorded to skip commercials and track facts nonsense, plus the cleanups |

Special Pfaff livery for Laguna. It has some plaid.

Low angle is pretty good
And a certain race has Motul as the primary sponsor so maybe it gets reused later I missed they have 3 fancy liveries for the season so guessing Mosport and Petit Last edited by broadrun96; 7 May 2024 at 01:40. |

I still miss the full plaid, but it looks much better than their regular livery.

Race at Laguna this weekend will be the first one on the newly repaved circuit for IMSA. Looking for some possible record laptimes for the classes depending on weather.

Packing up and heading out to Laguna tomorrow. All weather forecasts I’ve seen have been beautiful. But yeah, can’t really predict the fog, although historically it’s becoming less frequent every year.

Some news before the race. Same as for Spa, BOP changes are very small. Quote:
And this is the latest BOP: |

IMO, lap times at Laguna Seca depend on how much of the dust bowl has been blown/carried onto the track.

Looking for Cadillac to turn the weekebd around. Boudais on poll hopefully can activate for a win.

Bourdais a bit sketchy through the Cork Screw on cold tires, but all good.
Nice first lap. |

Jeremy agreeing with John “true that”. I’m going to use that phrase from now on.
And the lap record is beaten with a 1’15.676 on lap 2. |

A reminder from John. See the remaining energy and some other stuff:
https://www.imsa.com/gtp-telemetry/ Although I think the remaining energy is rounded to 5%. FWIW Bourdais isn't just the quickest, but also the one that clicks down to the next 5% last. |

I just started watching, looking very good for the 01. Quite early stops for the 31 and #10.
