Laguna Seca 2018

Here is a race thread without the usual first-post fanfare.


Edit: First practice begins in 30 minutes or so.

One funny side-note about this race: Last year we saw the only victory for the Ligier LMP2 car at Laguna. This year, the only team running the same car ditched it for an Oreca starting this round.

Had a power outage right before GTLM quali started and now I cannot get any video at all. Could be worse, though.

MaskedRacer User has been fined for unsportsmanlike behaviour!
Looks GTLM is consistently had Ford and Corvette at the top of the time sheets in all sessions. A Porsche or BMW win would be an upset at this point.

I just saw video of that, she is being reported as doing ok. Seeing that took my breath away.

At some point faith in Joest kicks in, hopefully. It would be good for the series to have another winner.

That was quick ...

#10, #911 collide before the start line, #66 involved as well.

Edit - #99 clips the #10 as it tries to go past on the start and turns it into the pit wall. As it bounces back into the track, the #66 glances it at speed and goes into the pit wall further on, the #911 collects the stricken Cadillac a second later.

Time for Round 2!

#73 tries to bump past the #14, which gets pinged round the final corner, #93 gets involved and #96 collects the Lexus at the side of the track.

I missed the first 30 minutes, dang! Sounds like there was some action. **** just saw the replay, that was rough
It wasn't the 10, but the 5 who got clipped by the 99 and spun before getting clipped by the gt's.

Has certainly been interesting opening hour. I'm surprised the 99 hasn't caught the attention of race control yet. For a number of things.

What just happened with the 77 in the pits? Gear selection? They are out now but I'm guessing they will die on track this stint.
