bad luck for the #13 and good luck to my favorite #2 back on the the fight.

Just 7 prototypes with near half of the race left.

Are you allowed to pass lapped cars before the S/F on a restart? I didn't think you could.

Not sure. Someone did, but I can't remember who. Was that Pagenaud?

Anyone knows what is the noise on the #66 (like a siren)? what it means? It's an alert about other cars behind or something like that?

Yeah, was the Penske so you're right. There were some GTLM cars penalised earlier for jumping the restart. So I'm not sure how you can jump the restart if you are allowed to pass before the line.

I believe it's the shift actuator. Small electric pump that rebuilds air pressure in the system after a few shifts.

Similar sound in the R8 GT3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAbWVTKzRx0

Penalties were given, but later rescinded.

They were investigated, but never really got the penalty.

I missed that, thanks for clarification. I guess you can pass before the line, otherwise Penske would've been pinged by now.

This is admittedly a guess, but can't they pass as soon as the green flag is out?

To be honest, this season, the latter seems to be the case. I have seen a few races this year where the GTLM polesitter doesn't even lead the grid across the line to start. Just anything goes. The wild west.

Bit harsh for Hindy to say the cars ignored the yellow flags there. The Audi had barely stopped when the others came across it. They were already fully committed to T1 by that point. Nobody really at fault there,

Maybe if cars slowed down more going into the turn, they could have. Didn't look like anyone was slowing down and it could have been a big wreck.

It would have been logical it the car stayed were it was but by the the time the FCY came out, it had rolled back to the inside on track.

the RCFs can't finish a race without hitting anything/getting hit by other cars.

See passes there all the time and don't think I've seen that happen before. Same with a car hitting where the 52 prototype did.

Amazing how S. Adams can talk so fast, and still make sure everything she says is perfectly audible and making sense.

The racing is incredible, but the aggressiveness and risks being taken are leading to a lot of cautions.
