Doesn't look like there's much in the way of spectators around the circuit?

Run an event in the UK in the absence of the WEC and I'm sure they'd see more people.

Reference John and Jeremy on GTD. Can’t find another car that’s done 40 lap stint. There were a lot of yellows. Next highest is Foley on 96 with 28 laps so far…

Both Udell (92) and Foley did experience lap time drop off.

Crafty pitstop for #1. Could be a yellow coming. BMW thinks the same. Both will have to stop again.

Yellow now. Most had the chance to come in I guess.

How was that Inception racing car allowed to drive around at full speed with the hose still attached? The team should have radioed him immediately to go slow or stop.

I saw it rejoin with it still attached, and that was at least 7/8 minutes ago so it had done a couple of laps like that.

If the yellow goes on a bit further we might get people trying to make it to the end. And not everyone put on new tires…

I have only been checking in every 30 minutes or so on timing and scoring, but it seems like not a lot of strategy so far just a lot of cautions. So much for my theory of P3 not there so we'll get a clean race

Better question: how did it get out the pit lane past the pit marshalls...

Someone's in trouble...

That pretty much sums it up.

There has been a little of not stopping under caution for track position. And now we have the can they make it to the end and have we saved the tires.

Some absolute madness on track. Cars all over each other, especially into the last corner.

Yes it's been a bit of a clumsy race. Shame we've had fully green races here in the past.

Last lap was a bit better than the Cadillacs, but the Cadillacs are the only ones to set 1:16s. They have their own battle.

And Tandy has 3rd!
