At Le Mans it certainly would be, as the engine is running. But I've no idea about IMSA rules tbh.

Debris caution....

**joeb** · 1 Jul 2018, 14:37 (Ref:3833995)

This safety car will help UA make up for a poor pitstop. I'm slightly worrioit will also cause another yellow on the restart. I'd stay away from the esm and SoD cars if I was on track.

And, my God, Fox is terrible. At least I know Kevin Durant and Paul George have new contracts because people watching a 6 hour sportscar race from the finger lakes region of New York are following every NBA off season move on the FS1 bottom scroll for BREAKING NEWS....

Shae just explained the rule, as long as you are in you box still, moving is ok.

Is there a definition on length of time for Breaking?

Yup. Fox doesn't know it, however or that scrolls are worthless now!

they are using it in all Na$car races too...

omg! here at Brazil again they (FOX) are showing up World Cup in both channels from them, and worst thing is the same game on both, so I need to watch the race from web...

what a service!!!

**joeb** · 1 Jul 2018, 14:54 (Ref:3834004)

Despite their issues, the 90 car is passing Mazdas... #just keep trying.

Esm drama again...

Lagunaseca_4life · 1 Jul 2018, 14:55 (Ref:3834006)

Bad day for esm and fox doesn't even know it....

fieldodreams79 · 1 Jul 2018, 14:57 (Ref:3834007)

I can't believe its already 90 degrees F there. They should run this at Road Atlanta in July instead. Only getting to 85 here today

I've got fox go with no commentary but when I do watch Copa Mundial, its Telemundo.

ESM might as well not have bothered to start this one.

2 has retired with enigine problems, 22 is in the garage (again or still) and 30 laps back

Simpson taking risks in the 99 in traffic. It's exciting but he's taken some slight damage from the back of a GTD car.

fieldodreams79 · 1 Jul 2018, 15:00 (Ref:3834010)

Jeremy and John saying the Fords aren't as quick as they were at the start. I wonder if they're just running a pace to stay ahead only. No sense in pushing to run away and hide as we'll likely have several more cautions....

He wants to hold position, but it is getting dicey.

**joeb** · 1 Jul 2018, 15:12 (Ref:3834014)

The back of the proto field is tight, some great racing passing through the GT leaders

Akrapovic · 1 Jul 2018, 15:15 (Ref:3834016)

It'll be pit stops within 10 minutes or so. Worth noting that Core won't fall off the lead lap. It'll be exciting watching that come back through the field.

Lol fox graphic comparing 125 degree cockpit temp to rare beef temp.

Speaking of which, is it too early for a beer????

Akrapovic · 1 Jul 2018, 15:26 (Ref:3834021)

And the 77 is slow. I mean, it's usually slow, but it's slower than it normally is.

Hindy: "slowing to check out where he was upside down yesterday".

Edit - really slow now...

Both these posts cracked me up.

Now Rast is looking for a restroom in the parking lot or taking the 77 to shed. Good news, no FCY.
