Say what we want about the lights, I think this is badass!

Thank you, Jamey Price.

What an amazing shot.

These are really good, and that's taking it to the next level renting a Cessna during the race to take photos! Another fantastic racing photographer I like a lot is Camden Thrasher.

I still don't understand why the graph goes backwards...95% of languages have people reading left to right, so why is the highest speed all the way to the left and the lowest to the right instead of the other way like it should be?

Just to add to that, most graphs I've seen, have the X and Y axis starting in the bottom left hand corner. There are exceptions.

Such as the lap time graph, making left fast and right slow. I didn't give it a second thought having the speed graph also have left be fast.

With a standard X. Y axis the graph is read from left to right, with the values starting at zero, in the bottom left hand corner and increasing accordingly.

Thanks for the suggestions - we´ll think about it.
To come back to the graph: interesting to watch that there are real differences. The Lambos are awesome - and the bimmers have still a lot to improve - in GTLM too!

Yes, and a zero lap time is as fast as fast can be, so X gets slower to the right on that graph. Go ahead and flip the axis for the speed graph, or make it in h/km. It seems fine to me to have left be fastest for both graphs when you're looking at them all together.

Good grief! Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth! They could be diagonal for all I care as long as I can read the data!

I think that's the problem, initially it isn't that easy to read.

Time for those at the track to start heading toward the front stretch
stands, fireworks (probably) coming up around 8 or 9 p.m.

I was keeping track of the time, fireworks didn't start until nearer 10pm this year, but it didn't disappoint.

Damn good fireworks show. Watched it from the campsite while chugging a beer, haha.

Watching the broadcast now, and just got to the part where the 60 blew up...what RLM fails to mention, or see, was the ~12 cars that went firing off at the kink right after. Pretty wild stuff, the 55 was perpendicular to the direction of travel, both AXR cars went off together, the SoD car, one of the Ganassi cars, and quite a few GT cars, with one of the BMW's and one of the Corvette's actually making it through all the grass and across the West Horseshoe.

It was fantastic, didn't manage to get to the front grandstand but was in the little one at the West Horseshoe. To be honest I don't think there was a bad spot to watch them from!

At least it's in the proper unit of measurement.

What an awesome pic - by Marshall Pruett.

Tim Pappas on fire behind the wheel!

(and great to see the famous Champion name return to the track!)

**joeb** · 12 Feb 2016, 18:07 (Ref:3614262)

Indeed, love that green color as well.

It seemed like the Lamborghinis were head and shoulders above GTD and GTLM on the straights in the race. This picture makes it look closer than i remember.

**Adam43** · 13 Feb 2016, 06:26 (Ref:3614369)

Is that just the difference between acceleration and top speed? I.e. The Lamborghinis got to their top speed quicker and hence quicker for most of the straights?

Oh dear, that was really close for Angelelli. If he had fainted a lap earlier, that could have been a massive shunt. And carbon monoxide poisoning is bad enough even when you're not going close to 200mph.

Would it be feasible to measure the concentration of carbon monoxide in the cockpit, so that a car can be called into the pits to fix the issue if a certain concentration is exceeded?

JoestEver · 13 Feb 2016, 13:59 (Ref:3614402)

I wonder why the team opt to continue under that circumstance? Clearly knowing that the issue was not fixed?

They were still in contention for the win, and for most of the stint, Angelelli was still setting competitive times. No one realized how serious it was until he fainted after the race.

It was irresponsible, but I see why they did it.
