Not nearly a hard enough hit, unfortunately.

Thanks as always, Deggis.

Tremendous from Legge.... they wouldn't have been near the #48 if the car could have taken part in qualifying ...

[fieldodreams79]

Well done, IMSA. Quickie yellow!

[Akrapovic]

Took the BMW 3 corners to clear both Corvettes. That's just silly.

Has taken #24 about 3 corners to get by the next Corvette too!

She's had a couple of race weekends in a row to forget....

And just like that, Garcia hops in the 3 and they go off strategy.

Glad to see Mazda donated their leftover red paint to the 86 Acura for this race. Looks great!

[Articus]

This LMP stuff is entertaining. and Joest and Penske thrown in next year? a real hoot.

#5 with damage to the rear left bodywork upon exiting the pits.

[joeb]

Bizzaare pit stops there.

[TzeiTzei]

It's baffling how much the gaps opened up during the pit stops. The #52 and #85 lost something like 15 seconds to the #31.

Not good driving by Goosens it seems entering the pits.

[J Jay]

#75 with suspension damage, touring round the carousel and a GTD Porsche had to take to the grass in avoidance.

[Maelochs]

A couple of times the cameramen have managed to show the tremendous speed these cars are hitting.

Radar (future prediction) looks ominous.

[Akrapovic]

86 Acura very clearly had a puncture coming into the final corner. Chose not to pit and now it has a full lap to go.

[fieldodreams79]

Hindy just slipped and called the state of Missouri "misery".

Puncture for 86 Acura and missed pit entrance!

Can they take the short cut?

[J Jay]

Well there was the #73 in between the Acura and pit entry, was Segal supposed to slow down and risk being rear ended by the cars close behind?

Puncture for 86 Acura right after our entrance!

That isn't a slip.

Simpson was making his way to the front before that off coming out the carousel.

Tyre was coming off the rim before the final corner and he had a MASSIVE moment on the way in. I'm surprised he even ran it that far to the left of the road.

Touchè.

Simpson with a race lap record? 1:54:360. Fastest of the day, at least....

Pipo is in.
