I love it, the FOX Commentary desperatley trying to bullsh*t their way by deflecting the GLARING tire problem that is Continental's fault with these insane amount of tire failures. What a load of spineless shrivs!!

Spanish commentators at FOX3 are saying that Ginetta will enter as a fifth P2 constructor. And that Ganassi will be entering to DPi with Ford if they decide to leave GTLM. I like all those lies.

I'm sure it is "somewhat" of a setup issue as well....

Anyone know if the pit reporter lady with last name Binks for IMSA/RLM is related to Corvette Racing's crew chief Dan Binks?

Yeah, and a gtlm car or two have had punctures as well. It seems like a setup thing.

I think it would be interesting if we found out these punctures were all when they were on a second stint on the tires, but otherwise, it keeps happening repeatedly to the same cars as opposed to various cars, which would make me thing it is a setup thing.

Amazingly, yes. Even when the Porsche hit the wall just now it kept everything off the road and didn't cause a caution. Not even for debris! This is amazing.

What's the fewest cautions for a petit le mans? We are approaching that time frame with just the one.

I can't help but think having an entire fender's worth of BMW bits somewhere out there on the banking (along with debris from all the flat tires before that) is probably not helping tire longevity.

I know I'm supposed to find a reason to complain, but to be honest, I can't find a reason to complain about the tire performance today. Or much of anything, really. Except the fords. Always can complain about that, I guess.

Nah it's all mostly right rears and the right front on BMW.its all an issue with set up camber and tire pressures combined with the loading on the banking.
