“Another red car” in the wall. Then a “green car” decided to join it after a bit!

Just turned it on at the end to see the cleanup. Now i'm plugged in for GTP qualifying. I'm guessing it is a 1:10 for pole, maybe 1:09. depends if they keep it out of the wall!

GTP goes 1 lap then tire change, scrubbing things in.

Interesting the pit crew doesn't need full safety gear apparently for qualifying? guy changing tires for Penske had no helmet on, just sunglasses.

Is this the first time GTP has been faster than DPi? the heavy weight and mechanical grip seems to be helping times at Long Beach here.
