Depends on if Toyota are playing the team game, or doing the Corvette thing of making them fight each other.

Door open on the #38 JCDC Jota

Will be interesting to see Alonso's pace compared to Toyotas quickest driver kobayashi

Toyotats03OUS · 5 May 2018, 13:13 (Ref:3819714)

It's well worth letting him past as if there is another SC...

Even if not the #8 is taking it easy. The #7 needs to push so why hold it up.

Seems to be 1 second faster per lap (I think none of them caught traffic in this lap)

That new Aston Vantage can barely keep up with the GTE-Am cars...

The ios app is working great. No breaks, good quality picture.

EffectiveSprinkles · 5 May 2018, 13:20 (Ref:3819723)

Anyone know why the SMP cars are so slow? They looked quite promising so far but can't even get close to the Rebellions at the moment.

AndreasDavour · 5 May 2018, 13:22 (Ref:3819724)

It feels weird every time I hear Bruni and Porsche mentioned together like that.

What's the story with #11 Dallara? I mean yes they have one more pitstop than the other P1s but Jota P2 Oreca ahead of them also has had 3 stops, and they also seem to not be able to clear the P2s in general

I guess #17 placement isn't too bad considering where they started and how they got stuck behind CLM earlier, but even there SC's helped to artificially close to gap

Lead AMs are catching up the PRO BMWs and Astons

Will the wonders of BoP ever cease...

Dempsey-Proton slow into the pits, fuel?
Edit: no, rolled into the garage. And meanwhile, the sister AM car spins into the barrier at pif-paf...

**Adam43** · 5 May 2018, 13:32 (Ref:3819729)

She sells sanctuary makes me very happy.

**Adam43** · 5 May 2018, 13:35 (Ref:3819730)

Yellow Dempsey 911 in gravel/barrier.

Irie · 5 May 2018, 13:35 (Ref:3819731)

FCY and Rebellion pits

Akrapovic · 5 May 2018, 13:36 (Ref:3819733)

Rebellion got that call wrong, it was too early. They served half the pit stop under green whilst the 8 will serve all of it under yellow.

EffectiveSprinkles · 5 May 2018, 13:36 (Ref:3819735)

Smart move by Rebellion for sure.

Yes it can. They just don't want to.

Well otherwise they had to do an entire lap under FYC... I'm not quite sure that would have been better.

I'm guessing they had no choice then. Was it scheduled for a stop anyway? It must have been about now?

Probably because they were so close to the pits.

**Adam43** · 5 May 2018, 13:37 (Ref:3819740)

New rear wing for #8.

The stops were due within a lap or two, for sure. But the amount of time it takes to go to FCY, clear the mess and go back, they'd have managed the full lap and the stop under FCY. They were around 15 seconds back on the 8 which just managed it.

Rebellion had to make a split second decision so it's a very easy mistake to make, but it is free time for Toyota.
