2020 rules will include rake, broom and blower in each car to fix your divots.

Hey, he kept some of the gravel in his car. Wonder if Ford can ship it back to RC in a box.

For the gravel left by Pla? That will not please a lot of people.

Everyone who's disadvantaged can queue up at garage box #28.
Freitas made sure everybody knows.

I think GTE Pro is starting to look like a GTLM race at Daytona and Sebring. Those who don't hit issues stay close until the end. But in the last 2 hours someone breaks out from the pack and takes the win. The Aston Martin may not necessarily be that car. We'll see!

Turns out the suspension collapsed on the 66, not a puncture. Bit more serious. Safety car for track cleaning.

Haha. And now it's deposited it all over the place!

I'd be doing a brake change if I were a P2 car. This might be the only SC.

I think it's Truswell, whoever it is is struggling trying to say there will be more daytime running on Sunday than Saturday.

Cars hit walls, need people fixing walls? Slow zone. Dirty track? Safety car. Feels backward, but I get it. Was hoping no safety cars to challenge distance record.

Which Ford is Kanaan in?

In Pla's defense, I think I was the only one that knew he had suspension damage after his extraction from the gravel. He had to get back to the pits and under acceleration out of Aranage, he wiggled all over uncontrollably. Once he realized there was something wrong, he slowed his pace.

Before the SC, Conway had pace in hand over Jani. Looks like Toyota are better at getting heat into their tyres than Porsche ... neatly demonstrated by Jani spinning on pit entry.

It did seem normal to me, but think Freitas has been tested with everyone decided the curbs are optional and his usual even keel has tipped over.

And BROOMS, really? Nothing more than that in all of France? For 5' from curb I get it but across the track needs equipment.

#1 going herky jerky?
