It's going to be tough for CORE. To take the title (even points, more victories) they need to be:

- On the podium and at least two places ahead of the #31
- 4th with the #31 7th or lower
- Four places ahead of the #31 otherwise.

I have decided to stay until the end. The race will end at a little bit past 3 am over here.

I won't take the risk of dropping this for WEC Fuji. If I do either I won't find a working stream or there will be lots and lots of rain.

Akrapovic · 13 Oct 2018, 22:06 (Ref:3856634)

I'm going to watch Fuji on replay because the online system allows that. And going to try and not load a spoiler...ha. I'll put it on and sit with my CSS course and work on that.

How did Taylor gain so much time over #7 and #77?

Damian Baldi · 13 Oct 2018, 22:10 (Ref:3856637)

Mazda Mazda Mazda...come on guys, the car looks very fast, take care of it!

Good race until now, this moment on the afternoon is great.

kvenom · 13 Oct 2018, 22:14 (Ref:3856638)

Di Grassi is slow. Not used to saying that

J Jay · 13 Oct 2018, 22:14 (Ref:3856639)

Good racing all-round, but that was a gamble that didn't pay off for Hindman. The #48 gets past the #86, both behind the leading #33.

Edit - That Michelin awning on the front of the Gainsco car probably has more grip than the Conti tyres.

Edit - More excellent GTD racing - the #86 gets past the #33, but the Land Audi goes down the other side and takes both places.

That was a rather funny moment...

Yeah, get with the programme, Timo!

Risi in the gravel on the oustide of T6.

Been a while since last FCY, this'll be helping whatever's going on with the #77 to neutralise the time they've lost.

Right rear tyre on that Ferrari was down on entry.

Incident between 55 and 62 under investigation.

Garcia's put in into the wall at T3. He's limping back to the pits again.

gert · 13 Oct 2018, 22:27 (Ref:3856647)

#3 spun coming out of the pits. A rare error from Garcia.

SnoodyMcFlude · 13 Oct 2018, 22:27 (Ref:3856648)

Did the 3 do that on his own or was he pushed? Wasn't paying much attention when they showed it.

RedSquirrel · 13 Oct 2018, 22:27 (Ref:3856649)

What?!?! Garcia never does that!

Akrapovic · 13 Oct 2018, 22:28 (Ref:3856650)

Jesus. Exiting the pits under yellow. During a title battle. That's the kind of stuff that gets you sacked.

It happened under yellow, no other car nearby.

I don't think he was hit. #3 will go behind the wall.

Yeah, he wasn't fast until now. He only need to keeps the car on the lead lap or better into the top 5 and let Jarvis push at the end.

Akrapovic · 13 Oct 2018, 22:32 (Ref:3856654)

Keeping the camera on the #3 is the best bit of TV directing today.

gert · 13 Oct 2018, 22:32 (Ref:3856655)

Why is the FCY taking so long? Should it not have gone green by now?

It sure is. Was some interesting TV.

SnoodyMcFlude · 13 Oct 2018, 22:33 (Ref:3856656)

Fair play to those guys, especially the ones under the car.

Extra lap or two at the end to allow the wave around. Unlike Blancpain, IMSA forces all the cars to bunch up before green.
