Just the speed difference and the amount of cars.

At one time they had the GTDs in front, and the Protos behind.
That was all the GTDs fighting amongst themselves and the Protos likewise, while also trying to get by the GTDs.

They definately should adapt virtual safety car, other than safety reasons I dont want to see the whole field bunch up every FCY session. That dramatically reduces the excitement.

This has been a tough race to watch from the track. The yellows have really zapped the energy from the crowd. Plus lots of people have already started to leave trying to beat the rain tonight

Sorry to hear that. The cautions have been plentiful, but the racing in between has been frantic.

The track has looked fantastic and jam packed on tv. Looks as world class as any track.

Is Derani seriously gonna do this again? Dude is unreal. I will be interested to hear what castroneves and Montoya says about various drivers in comparison to IndyCar, but Derani especially.

Big mistake by Montoya. He's gonna have a reputation very quickly next year.

Stuck in the gravel, pulled out, and then gets stuck at the other side of the track. Needs to be recovered again!

This may win it for penske, unless they are a lap down. Even so, they'll be closer now.

This is tricky ... Penske is a lap down and doesn't need to pit .... if everyone else loses a lap, Penske leads ..... if not .....

KK no one will beat Derani.

I think the four P leaders needed so little fuel they didn't lose track position, but Montoya is back on the lead lap.

Penske is not in lead, but going to be close and leaders will have traffic ahead. See, this is where not making overall leader take green could be more entertaining.
