First race at Lime Rock. First in an LMP1 car. Coming from the back. Talk about a baptism of fire.

I have a question for those who were at the race or watched it live. How long (in terms of time) were the yellows? I watched the tape delayed ESPN2 broadcast so they may have cut some things out, but the yellows (especially the first one) seemed really long considering it was just a minor incident. Also, what was the reason for the 2nd yellow? The ESPN2 broadcast did not say what the cause was.

Hopefully they'll add a second pro driver for the longer races later in the season. |

There were a lot of things the ESPN2 broadcast didnt mention, but yes the 2nd and final yellow was caused by the brilliant Jaguar with all of its new updates that gave the RSR/Gentilozzi PR people something to actually do stopped on the circuit, bringing out the yellow.

I don't think the GT pileup brought out a FCY. Maybe it did and ESPN2 missed it, but I don't think so. I remember there being a big chunk of debris off the racing line from that wreck that was there for a while.

And it was a pretty long stoppage. |

Thanks. 7 minutes sounds reasonable. 13 minutes though for the first caution? When there wasn't much to pick up? I'm not so sure about that. I know the new procedure is better for not letting cars get trapped a lap down, but still. If nothing else, whoever cuts the ESPN2 highlights needs to show less caution and more green.
