It's been a good clean race so far. Only two significant cautions.

But they uses a totally proprietary system, here we are talking a common Cosworth system. One is comercial and the other is pure prototype.

Disappointed with the race up front so far. Not quite as bad as Daytona but it's obvious that no one but Cadillac has their car settled. Mazda need to get help, they always have issues one way or another. GTLM going good though. I can't even follow gtd, they never show up on the feed it seems.

The Orecas are on the pace, but with all these electronis issues you don't know when they will lose another lap

#90 #52 #55 have their own fight at the back of the field. At least something to follow.

Albuquerque has made a big gap, he has driven a very solid stint. Now Barbosa in.

In GTLM only Corvette seems to be a match for the Fords, neither Ferrari, BMW or Porsche seem to be at their level.

Still only 1/3 of the race completed.

I'm fighting two desires. I'm loving seeing a proper endurance race with minimal cautions. But we need one or two to get esm and rebellion back on lead lap. But then it will feel a little hollow lol.

The left front of that Mercedes going to have a few suspension/hub issues after that dangerous bouncing drive back to the pits I'm afraid.

Well, we know that a Cadillac will probably win this one, though it can't be argued that BOP did it for them this time. European teams too used to European rules and the questionably reliable Cosworth electronics made things easy for the Caddies.

It's like no one else but Cadillac has bothered to test their machinery before going to the races.

Well, I lost the interest. Just two cars with chances, with 6:30 hrs to go. I'll check later.

I am getting increasingly frustrated with Rebellion. They know what they are about, and they know how to win real endurance races ... and they keep losing. What are they doing with their free time, napping?

Strange question-why does the sweeper push the Hobbs 'clag' into the center of the track and not off the course? Clag? Clagg? Klag? Klagg? I'm off to the corner now.
