Looks like that's going to end the race.....

YZFrider · 16 May 2015, 18:16 (Ref:3538180)

Darn, they had a good run of green flag running

TheMightyM · 16 May 2015, 18:21 (Ref:3538184)

^ "Had" being the key word. Looks like half the 50 minute race will be run under yellow again.

Lagunaseca_4life · 16 May 2015, 18:28 (Ref:3538188)

WoW just wow I don't even know what to say.......

YZFrider · 16 May 2015, 18:32 (Ref:3538189)

I didn't think they'd have the last lap shootout. So it will be a standing start for tomorrow?

TheMightyM · 16 May 2015, 18:35 (Ref:3538192)

I like sports car racing but PWC is pretty much unwatchable, between all the yellows, taking way too much time to clean up after accidents, poor streaming quality, and, as an extra special bounce in this race, barely competent announcing.

Matt · 16 May 2015, 18:39 (Ref:3538198)

I fully expect the two member strong PWC fanclub on here to be full of excuses.

Look at it this way Matt, PWC is a hot mess and still nobody is fleeing for your beloved IMSA.

I hold no alliances.

DeezPutz · 17 May 2015, 01:08 (Ref:3538391)

Sounds like another successful event. PWC is really making its mark.

MitchZ06 · 17 May 2015, 06:29 (Ref:3538449)

Was a good race while it was green, just a shame the clean up crews don't put more effort in (watching Tim Pappas sitting on the armco waiting for a tow spoke volumes). I'm still a fan of this racing and while the crashes that occur are mostly due to the sprint race mentality I don't see the doom and gloom so many others seem to so easily see. Remember when FIA GT1 became a first lap crash fest? It's still around....

Mechanic Z · 17 May 2015, 13:09 (Ref:3538546)

Stream issues and cautions were very frustrating. Not sure what the Ams were thinking in the early caution.

Like MitchZ06 said, though, great while green.

And we have another race today!

nasportscar · 17 May 2015, 13:33 (Ref:3538555)

The stream issues really need to be solved. This stuff can't continue every single race. Maybe it will be better when Torque.tv officially launches in the summer? I don't know, but it's pretty infuriating at times. Luckily the stream was down yesterday just during the caution, but it's still inexcusable.

As for the cleanup times for the cautions, I don't think you can put that on PWC because they don't bring their own crew. It seemed really odd to see a flatbed sitting there near Calvert's Porsche for 10 minutes before they even put it on. I was confused.

The racing under green was still good, as it usually is, but there's still some stuff that needs to be ironed out. I'm sure we'll see some attrition for 2016, but I don't think it will be that major. I'm thinking/hoping we'll see something closer to Blancpain Sprint now that the partnership with SRO exists.

Ephaeton · 17 May 2015, 13:44 (Ref:3538560)

the stream option they chose yesterday for the GT race (youtube) came with geoblocking.
It's like they don't WANT to be seen.

Lagunaseca_4life · 17 May 2015, 15:10 (Ref:3538579)

Was a good gts race today!

The TC class races were fantastic as well. The Mazdas and the Porsches really put on a great show.

Yeah, that ^.
The excess of cautions is unfortunate, but the problems with the stream is the biggest issue that needs solved.
I'm really looking forward to attending the Road America rounds, I'll get to see all the awesome cars and hard fought racing, without having to suffer through the streaming blackouts.

tux · 17 May 2015, 18:37 (Ref:3538643)

No stream today, was listed to start at 2:25pm ?

EDIT: race start at 3:10pm, if anyone finds a stream please can you post it

MitchZ06 · 17 May 2015, 18:50 (Ref:3538644)

It's up on world challenge tv site.

tux · 17 May 2015, 18:52 (Ref:3538645)

Yeah i see it, thanks.

Is it true there is $70,000 worth of prize money for detroit?

Haha, someones gone down pitlane handing these out https://twitter.com/K2theBru/status/600009475513131009

Ephaeton · 17 May 2015, 19:06 (Ref:3538653)

Cool, a stream that can actually be received in germany.
Sadly it's a choppy slideshow.

PWC got it right for the CotA race, whatever happened?

MitchZ06 · 17 May 2015, 19:08 (Ref:3538655)

It's been really good for me today vs yesterday!

MitchZ06 · 17 May 2015, 19:12 (Ref:3538656)

Wow, no contact in the standing start!

tux · 17 May 2015, 19:13 (Ref:3538657)

If they had be 10 seconds faster there would have an absolute horrific accident.

A tow truck in the middle of the track exit of turn one so unacceptable FFS

Lagunaseca_4life · 17 May 2015, 19:13 (Ref:3538658)

Wow a tow truck on a hot track,must be trying now for no fcys
