Nice move.
There were a few good moves today.

And a blocked track

Had to stop watching live in the middle as fiends came round. Finished on the ‘cock.

I wonder if race control was thinking about intra vs inter class contact with the calls today?

So how do you rate yesterday's race? Myself I'd give it a C- maybe. There were very few interesting things happening and the race was extremely messy with way too many crashes, incidents and yellows. I guess the best summary of what was happening was during the penultimate yellow when race control rushed with the procedures to go back to green asap but there was another yellow shortly after the restart anyway Compared to Belle Isle, it's a major downgrade.

Richard Westbrook (Porsche 963 #85): “It’s hard for me to come up with anything positive. To be honest, the track is not suitable for racing with prototypes in the top GTP class. It was like being in a bumper car. The damage to the vehicles worsened lap by lap. It was unacceptable – simply unacceptable. I found it frustrating. I have such fond memories of the times we competed on the beautiful Belle Isle in Detroit. I’m looking forward to Watkins Glen – now that’s a great circuit.”

Well said... I totally understand why Detroit is in the calendar due to commercial side of things but racing wasn't too good.

I thought it was alright. Considering the nature of the track there were some super moves.

IMSA did their best to keep things going. Leaving cars and debris all over the track. To keep it going. I wasn’t that enamored with that.

The track has its challenges. And the pit lane makes me smile!

It’s a quickie 100 minute affair, which is right here. If all tracks were like this it would be silly.
