If i understand the stint times correctly then #66 can do the race on 2 more stops, the chasing pack need 3

#33 Audi.

Finally, that car is out of its misery

The rain is very heavy at the moment.

I think that's correct but all others will now stop and get more or less on the same strategy.
Vervisch is 10 minutes in advance, but they will now have to do the same number of stops

--

The commentators seem to have missed that #25, #51 and #72 all stopped after #66 did and that Attempto no longer has the advantage: no strategic advantage nor track position at this moment

[Akrapovic]

Tandy 3 seconds a lap quicker than everyone else right now.

[Akrapovic]

I love endurance racing. That Am Bentley looks absolutely destroyed, but it's the only car left in its class, so keep it going.

Let's not count him out. He is really going for the win

[gert]

Stop now, take fuel and tires, and then either:
* come back in at 65 minutes if it is still yellow
* wait for the next yellow and do another stop

Tandy did not take tires I think

[Akrapovic]

Unsure on what's going on with these strats. 66 and 98 will have to pit again. But if this FCY takes us to the 65 minute mark then the 25 can do its final stop and not have to pit again.

If this goes beyond 65 minutes I'd pit the 66 and 98 again under yellow.

He didn't take tyres, you're right. I assume they're doing a longer stop under FCY, hoping the SC will bunch them up and give them the time back, and then do a short stop under SC.

[gert]

safety car once again has no clue who is leading

my my, what a mess

[Akrapovic]

Pretty sure the leader is way ahead of the SC and we're going to have to wait for it to cycle around. But it seems the SC has now gone.

It's about time SRO look at replacing Alain Adam. Both the race and TV direction has been terrible.

[gert]

#51 stopped again, does not have to pit again.

[gert]

I think Tandy just drive through the pits without even stopping

66 and 25 also came in, but I think they stopped

--

That SC procedure was a mess, the leaders are now half way the queue.
It was going in and now decides not to?

Do they even follow their own rules, and do they just make them up as they see fit?

--

They really don't know what to do when the leader pits under SC...
Everytime that happens we see panic all around from race control and SC driver

[Akrapovic]

That was a complete cluster.

[gert]

Another FCY ...

Note to SRO: Just to help you all out: Tandy is leading

--

Just as a reference: the previous FCY - SC took 32 minutes

I feel like Tom Blombqvist has been in the Hub Auto Ferrari the entire race, hahaha. I've barely seen Kamui in the Ferrari at all

Man, that Porsche sounded horrible.

[gert]

So ROWE wins 2 24hours races in a row.
One in a BMW, one in a Porsche.

How cool is that

[ascarracinguk]
