I hope they send Bib to the booth for the interviews. He doesn't talk.

I8 has 195/50R14 in front. Thats not skinny but a little strange size for a kind of sporty car.


But yes, the interview is a little over the top

Excessive wheelspin penalty for Alon? Man, I thought only ACO had crap rules about that stuff.

Must have been while on the jacks? Because otherwise it is legal in IMSA if it is on the ground. Tough way to end their day.

So the #91 Porsche of Tandy, pitted right before the safety car. I don't know why. Strategy or a problem? They benefitted from the Road America track size. Did not get lapped and was able to stay out when the others stopped. Hence why it leads right now.

The surprise is that the Fords have not yet caught him. BMW's are doing alright too. Battling had with Chevrolet from 4th-7th. #92 Porsche of Bamber looks like is last place now.

When the Ford turned into the Ferrari and took the left rear corner off the Ford, the Porsche ran into the debris and took a chunk off the right front corner. It had a tyre rub and some carbon poking up vertically. So they pitted to fix that just before the yellow happened.

turns out the ferrari that caused the caution, screwed the Alon car, by leaving a wheel in the path of the exiting proto. Alog got the penalty for hitting that tire.

And now he just got help from another GT car and gets stuck due to the massive mountain that is the tarmac edge.

Fox doing interviews without showing the race. They make it so hard to follow.

Madison Snow driving that Lambo very quick eh? I think he is in job application mode now. Seeing his status as a silver is about to disappear before 2019 season starts.

I didn't expect this many cautions at road America. Lots of room on the track, but the drivers can't seem to keep it clean today. Has to be a penalty on that Ford/Porsche contact.

The problem with Road America is that it still has lots of gravel traps. VIR and Lime Rock get away with less or no yellows not just because the prototypes don't run those races but they are all grass. Cars won't get stuck there.

John H promoting Lally and Legge in the NASCAR race at Mid Ohio. Might have been worth a watch but those stupid stages was the last straw for me with that sanctioning body.

#67 Ford is going to be tough catch the rest of this race. Over in GTD, keep an eye on Palletta in the Turner BMW. They are sneaking in there again.

I agree about the yellows. What a waste of time. Someone should have asked Atherton about this. These safety car periods hurts the quality of the race big time. Biggest problem with the series and it does not get enough attention.

Especially here in Europe when it's late on a Sunday night, cautions keep coming out you lose interest and go to bed. That car would of been dragged out the way in 5 minutes over here
