Keating now 30 secs ahead after half hour WHAT!!!

[gert]

Montoya seemed to struggle to keep his car to the apex in the slower corners - on the lap he was overtaken by Nasr

[J Jay]

Both Mazdas & Acuras pitting after 30 mins.

Now past he’s got a few seconds ahead.

I’ve relocated to the basement.

Caddy winning the fuel milage game right now then.

I've never seen a carpeted wall before. Interesting furniture layout in there too. I like it. Can lie down and watch it as if it's right way up.

I am amazed at how hard they slam the kerbs from moment one. The turn-in to the chicane is a real whack.

[RWill2073]

4th commercial break... Side by side at least, which is tolerable with rlm playing. If they would split screen during the special interest bs to show the race too, I could probably take it. Not sure about the hours it is not on tv though.

Keating gonna perform his way out of a drive... He'll be considered too good for am driver at this rate.

That's apparently a new kerb for 2020. It's been taking so much abuse that the concrete started ripping up.

I'd like to see fuel tanks larger for prototypes at least. 35-40 minutes just seems way too short.

[Akrapovic]

Ben Hanley is having none of Keatings nonsense. He's immediately fastest. He's been epic in ELMS.

[J Jay]

Call it Nasr doing his thing, call it Jarvis doing his, but however you call it, Nasr is catching Jarvis through the traffic quickly.

[Akrapovic]

Has to be pointed out that JDC is holding onto an Acura, and ahead of the Mustang Sampling Caddy. That's pretty decent so far. In theory, they're the weakest of the DPis, but they're in the pack.

Yep by over a second.

I think it's done to stagger the field, so they won't be stopping at the same time as GTLM and GTD.

Jarvis found another 2 seconds.

Traffic giveth, traffic take it away.

Last few pages have gone by quickly...is there a reason you can't access track pass? $3 is a small price to pay for no commercials...

It doesn't fix the lack of production during that time, it becomes dull with missed action during the break and the cameras get a break then as well. Plus I'm not paying for IMSA and Indy from the same *******s but they charge separately for each feed. Charging MORE than adding the channels required to watch previously on digital cable did. Yup, that's an improvement. Latest estimates from the industry is cable package prices will be double to triple previous costs with "cord cutting" and streaming options.

Nicely done.

I've just returned from a bike ride with the old man and my youngest. The wife and the oldest have commandeered the "main screen" here....

I agree with what you said, but I'd pay $3 to move from ads to poor production, but no ads.

[Lasse]

Hanley is really putting in some fast laps!

I've been stuck in the office

[J Jay]

Nasr is onto Jarvis.

Got up for the so far excellent (and free) IMSATV live stream coverage we get here in Australia.... 5.40 AM start was a bit harsh but thats life.
At least the weather is dry and sunny atm. Now one hour in and 36 laps down. Hopefully we get a race of minimal interruptions and flags, with a good safe race for all.
