This. One thing i always respected about Seth Neiman was that he let the #45 be a full-on GTE competitor and ran a second, slow car for himself. He knew his limits and knew that he wasn't ever going to win the title.

Jon Bennett however was good enough to win some PC titles ... a Pro-Am class, of course. IMO, he is not going to get the team to any P-class titles .... even if he is a good driver, he will always be giving away that little bit.

But ... it's not my money, so it is easy to spend. A whole 'nother crew, transporter, lodging, fuel and food, all that .... But Core really cannot hope to win a title anyway until it signs a DPi contract, so i guess all my musings are moot.

I'm really happy for Colin! I think he is very underrated and he deserves that.

The Vettes playing a few games and just edging out the Porsches on the last lap made me smile too. Great session!

Tique should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Romain Dumas and Colin Braun should do the job with their LMP2. The key will be indeed Jon Bennett. The main difference for me between the LMP2 and the DPi is that the LMP2 are more a Pro-Am class, except United Autosport.

I think they just said the core car won't be starting on pole because they switched drivers and Bennet will take the green.

Likewise on Colin and Bowties. This should be a little different than LM today in GTLM

They're not allowed to change the nose on the #2 car?
How stupid is that?

What is the plan then? Go green, have a lot of bits fall off #2 and go yellow again?

See with Lapierre, eventually, you have to start taking responsibility for accidents that aren't your fault. You could argue he wasn't at fault in that one, but he's involved in so many accidents that he really should be questioning why.

Poor show from ESM. 2 driver errors in avoidance, and then a rookie error with the pits being closed. It's not like they're a Euro team making errors with new regulations. That's just poor.

John Bennett got bumped ahead of GTD and GTLM cars in that yellow shuffle and is only losing a second a lap to the other Prototypes. That's not bad.

stop + 60 penalty for 90 and 2 because they stopped their damaged cars at the restart.

Ridiculous IMO.

They should have gone around, put bits of cars eveywhere and caused a puncture/accident/whatever?

Was Nico driving? I thought it was sharp and Derani?

I guess the rlm guys were calling it one way and the tv listed lapierre.

Definitely Nico. Shea Adam said she could actually see Dernai standing in the pit lane and the live timing says Lapierre is onboard.

So apparently the 2 was allowed to pit to fix it, but they violated the emergency service rules and put a load of fuel in.

God knows. This is too complicated. It's like an ACO regulated event right now.
