Aww the hate for the ford's still continues.....tobad it's not a corvette or Porsche,I'm sure y'all be happier then.....

Lagunaseca_4life · 28 Jan 2018, 04:56 (Ref:3795953)

Man to bad for spirit of Daytona,they were my underdog favorite...

MrBloodmuffins · 28 Jan 2018, 05:02 (Ref:3795954)

Could the punctures be because no one expected such long stints under green?

The race will be won by the car which has the least number of punctures at this rate

Ferrari333SP · 28 Jan 2018, 05:03 (Ref:3795956)

Whelen car now with a puncture - slowly dropping out of contention

Continental just said it is the teams faults, 100%.

**joeb** · 28 Jan 2018, 05:07 (Ref:3795958)

Pretty remarkable we are 8.5 hours in and there have been no retirements.

Is the swingers party over?

Where did you hear that?

Edit - just heard Hindy say something that sounded like a statement from Conti.

Whats this 5 minute penalty for the #29 Audi all about? Something about violating BOP policy??

TzeiTzei · 28 Jan 2018, 05:17 (Ref:3795961)

A 5 minute penalty for the #29 Audi. Apparentyl for being too fast. I wonder when the Fords will get the same penalty?

C6R Racing Fan · 28 Jan 2018, 05:18 (Ref:3795962)

5min of heatsoak with no air moving thru the car...not good.

In the garage, they normally use a blower.

carbsmith · 28 Jan 2018, 05:19 (Ref:3795963)

Telling us the tires are the same for 5 years does little good when this is the first long dry running the current prototypes have had on them.

How can one car violate bop and not the other Audi's?

Not showing what the car can do - IE, too slow without evidence of a mechanical failure or vehicle damage to contribute? They've not exactly been super fast.

They're cheatin' Pawl!

MrBloodmuffins · 28 Jan 2018, 05:26 (Ref:3795968)

RLM says that the Audi penalty is because fueling was too quick.

C6R Racing Fan · 28 Jan 2018, 05:26 (Ref:3795969)

Fueling issue is whey they were penalized

Lagunaseca_4life · 28 Jan 2018, 05:27 (Ref:3795970)

Wow,what a calm collected response from mr Barron.

FormulaFox · 28 Jan 2018, 05:27 (Ref:3795971)

Refueling restrictor violation.

FormulaFox · 28 Jan 2018, 05:29 (Ref:3795972)

Props to Mr. Baron for the level-headed manner of addressing it. Too many other team owners probably would've flung their heads down the pit lane like a bowling ball over that.

IMSA seems to think the Land team refuelled the #29 Audi too quickly...
Isn’t the refuelling gear homologated for fuel flow rates? And checked/signed off by IMSA before use?

Weird...

At least its fixable ongoing with minimum time stops to the end..

Baron says IMSA never came back and checked it. That may be why he was so calm about it - partially IMSA's fault, but since they've got the advantage they still have to ping them for it.

Lagunaseca_4life · 28 Jan 2018, 05:33 (Ref:3795975)

Man are some of y'all first time Daytona 24 spectators? These punctures Go back to the merge in 2014,when Imsa put down force and more power on the dp's.anyone remember Westbrook getting air born after his rr tire blew out entering the tri oval.in2014 there were failure everywhere.same for 2015 and remember last year?heck even when the corvette DP debuted in grand am it was breaking right axles.this isn't anything new,and Michelin is also having issues on some cars,

Lagunaseca_4life · 28 Jan 2018, 05:35 (Ref:3795977)
