Pull off track when you know you're losing power? No, let's ruin the last laps for everyone

Seems like they got their own cars mixed up and actually meant the 10.

Risi is the happiest about this caution, BMW probably the most to lose here...

Anyway, go Falken.

Damn it my alms stream consistently skips back 5 seconds every 30 seconds or so.wtf!?

It's right at the crest, not quite downhill yet. I don't know why the diver had enough power to make it up the hill, but couldn't pull it off the racing line. Eh, it probably wouldn't have mattered anyways, any little thing and these guys have a 20 minute safety car period. Hey, I have a great idea, let's let all the cars make pit stops!

Sometimes they become hard to roll in neutral (unless being pushed off a a cliff)....no lie.

You're from the US, how are you watching the feed? :P Same thing here, it's quite annoying. Working fine full quality the whole time, now it's skipping and jumping quality. Ohwell, the race will probably finish under safety car anyways. :/

I think it's the constant switch from low to hi res.

Yea that's what I figured, if I could keep it low res I would to keep it steady.

Lagunaseca_4life · 20 Oct 2013, 00:54 (Ref:3320187)

GREEN!

Switching quality shouldn't jump it back 20 seconds though.

This is Sebring 2007 all over again! Phenomenal!! Classic!

And Risi is coming!

Dead-Eye · 20 Oct 2013, 01:02 (Ref:3320195)

I hope Malucelli catches up with Müller and they get too busy with each other to do anything about Falken.

wheelz22 · 20 Oct 2013, 01:05 (Ref:3320196)

Yeah....exactly

J Jay · 20 Oct 2013, 01:09 (Ref:3320201)

Falken win! Superb result to sign off the ALMS with

When Henry Ford II wanted to kick Enzo Ferrari’s ass he did not instruct his minions to build a Formula 1 car.

Just curious... What's the implication of your signature?

Fogelhund · 20 Oct 2013, 01:09 (Ref:3320203)

Congrats to Falken. Then end of the ALMS. Thanks for all the fish.

EricS · 20 Oct 2013, 01:11 (Ref:3320207)

Great race in GT. Congrats Falken.

Bye bye ALMS

nkoske · 20 Oct 2013, 01:11 (Ref:3320208)

Great win for Falken...SOLID...their best win to date by far. Falken get an invite to Le Mans now?

ALMS GT best racing on the planet...WEC GT can't hold a candle to ALMS GT.

Birddog07 · 20 Oct 2013, 01:12 (Ref:3320210)

Great finish, good job to Falken, those guys were the underdogs with an older car but they pulled it out. Wish there was more last-lap GT battling, but what a great end to an era.

extramundane · 20 Oct 2013, 01:13 (Ref:3320214)

I know we're not supposed to like or notice the challenge classes, but Spencer Pumpelly has been a beast this year.

Lagunaseca_4life · 20 Oct 2013, 01:15 (Ref:3320215)

Way to go falken! Well done.
Congrats to rebellion level5 and others!
Couldn't agree with you more nkoske!

Just a statement of my personal preference regarding sportscars and F1. If I remember correctly it's a quote from the book Go Like Hell by AJ Baime, but I'm not 100% sure about that right now.

BullMan · 20 Oct 2013, 01:16 (Ref:3320218)

Congrats to Rebellion and Falken on the important wins.

I'm going to miss the ALMS.

Nope. Automatic ALMS entries were abandoned last year, instead ALMS got 3 entries that it can award as it sees fit. On the other hand, I suppose Falken would probably get an entry if they applied anyway, and so far they haven't tried it.
