IMSA Race 2023 IMSA Canadian Tire Motorsport Park

[veeten]

If things hold, BMW will get another podium finish. Considering how they started this season.

[veeten]

Yelloly has quite a few days, getting the win at the Glen, then the Spa 24, and now making podium in Canada. I can see both he and Farfus getting the lead at WRT.

[Adam43]

#60 48 laps into the stint. Same for #25. 8 minutes to go.

7.6s over #10.

[Adam43]

Grist off, Fraga pushes his way through. Penalty?

[veeten]

And it wouldn't be a race without an argy-bargy involving P3.

[Adam43]

Yellow! Big one for 01. Only 5 minutes left.

[Adam43]

Hindy is just saying words now.

Farfus nudged him on to the grass. That is a little more like the Toyota Aston incident.

[veeten]

Yikes!!! Cadillac #1 in yet another crash. Clipped in that second to last corner. How many times can you rebuild a car before you can call it spooked.

Yikes Renger has had some hard hits this year

[Adam43]

#60 wins with a 52 lap stint (with yellows).

Has to be a penalty

Nope! “Incident reviewed. No action”. The rare IMSA racing incident

But the old drive through penalty for #24 for pushing #01 onto the grass.

Well watched the last hour or so of the race and it was good, after the wec at monza i can say today was a good day for sportscar racing

[Adam43]

Battle for the podium. Chart as if only these three in the race.

Same chart. One with a larger y axis to show the pit strategies. And the other to zoom in on the on track.

[Adam43]

LMP3 podium battle.

There is the bump right at the end.

[Adam43]

GTD PRO podium battle.

[Adam43]

GTD.
I'm still disappointed that GTD PRO beat GTD

[skycafe]

Wheee, no small accidents at Mosport.

The 01 Cadillac needs to exorcise whatever demon seems to ride along.

Enjoyable race on a great track.

Stunning race by BMW to get third despite the slower pace and poor showing from Cadillac to not take advantage of the pace. Having said that it is super close.

Maybe they need to try and drown it. Worked for Champion with the Lola Porsche about 20 years ago. Brad Kettler accidentally scuttled it in a pond, and the late Dave Maraj responded by saying "maybe that'll chase the demons out of it".

[veeten]

See, I knew I wasn't the only one...

We need a 963 in the Champion livery so bad. I am bummed that of all the special liveries the CORE factory Porsche team had in the GTLM days they never did a Champion livery rendition.
