#9 is running slowly, meanwhile. Just because of FCY or a problem?

Yeah. They aren’t calling yellows for the sake of it this year.

Just saw it onboard from the car behind them. Looked weird, like the Aston followed the lambo not realizing he was pitting?

New rear wing for #10.
If planned, that's a good moment to have it done

--

Timed stop for #6 to get out first, but then it was held by a red light at pit exit

Akrapovic · 25 Jan 2020, 23:46 (Ref:3953570)

BMW 25 in all sorts of problems trying ti recover to the pits.

55 Mazda has returned to the lead lap thanks to good pit stop strategy during this yellow. 85 also returns to the lead lap.

J Jay · 25 Jan 2020, 23:46 (Ref:3953571)

Well, this FCY is going on a bit longer if the #25 can't make it to the pits.

Edit - Spengler manages to limp the BMW back to the rear of the pits.

gert · 25 Jan 2020, 23:47 (Ref:3953572)

25 behind the wall

J Jay · 25 Jan 2020, 23:52 (Ref:3953574)

Pla leads. Passed Albuquerque and Pagenaud in successive laps, both at T1.

Akrapovic · 25 Jan 2020, 23:53 (Ref:3953575)

The slow car is the DragonSpeed LMP2

MaskedRacer · 25 Jan 2020, 23:55 (Ref:3953577)

We are racing again. GTLM top 4 right together #91, #91, #24, #3

No more safety cars the rest of the race guys. Get it? Got it? Good.

MaskedRacer · 25 Jan 2020, 23:56 (Ref:3953578)

LMP2 and GTLM cars fairly close together on pace in the infield section of the track.

belt driven · 25 Jan 2020, 23:57 (Ref:3953579)

Aaaaaand... BMW back to the GTLM lead...

Akrapovic · 25 Jan 2020, 23:58 (Ref:3953580)

Even the Aston team owner doesn't believe his drivers excuse for that accident.

Akrapovic · 26 Jan 2020, 00:02 (Ref:3953581)

Amazing how pleasant Kyle Busch can interview when he's not in NASCAR mode.

Pretty funny

Akrapovic · 26 Jan 2020, 00:03 (Ref:3953583)

Top 4 have bunched up again as they catch traffic. Very cool.

MaskedRacer · 26 Jan 2020, 00:14 (Ref:3953585)

As of 7:14 pm when I am typing this. I think the GT cars OFF track is #25 BMW, #23 Aston Martin, and #11 Lamborghini. I guess we won't get repeat winners in the GT categories this year. In the case of GTD no 3-peat.

JHamilton · 26 Jan 2020, 00:15 (Ref:3953586)

I lost muh stream.

Akrapovic · 26 Jan 2020, 00:23 (Ref:3953588)

So how was the 10s stop so much quicker than the others? It's made up about 12 seconds.

hoffman66 · 26 Jan 2020, 00:36 (Ref:3953591)

Poor from Lamy, trying to pull back in before the two Porsches, nothing the Vette did wrong for me. Surely Lamy should know better.

MaskedRacer · 26 Jan 2020, 00:37 (Ref:3953592)

DSC has an article up about the crash. Wow Alex Rieberas, should not your instincts tell you not to turn into pit lane at full speed. A complete mental break down. The car is out of the race.

Completely disagree. The vette moved up the road. Over a car width from his previous position. Use the yellow line for reference. 100% Corvettes fault.

Total lack of awareness of his position on track.

To be fair they both moved toward each other. Purely a racing incident, and luckily they both escaped with only a few scratches!

Sounds like Riberas never knew the Lambo went beneath the yellow lines, as he was right on the bumper of the car in front. A bit of a rookie mistake right there, he should've been aware of his position on track, but let's be honest a mistake is still human. Unfortunate to see the car out though, but at least it did bring out a caution to get some excitement back into this race!

MaskedRacer · 26 Jan 2020, 00:50 (Ref:3953597)

Used to having multiple onboard cams for GTLM to follow. Right now not so much.

#62, #91, #24, #4 - nothing posted on IMSA.com
#25 is out of contention
#3 car has a broken camera

That leaves me to follow the #92. At least they are running a close 3rd right now. Good sound though.
