That was Cheever's car. One of the drivers did a stint that was 10 minutes too long

Pitted according to timing.

Lasse · 27 Jul 2019, 19:59 (Ref:3919719)

Thanks!

gert · 27 Jul 2019, 20:04 (Ref:3919720)

#25 drops from 1st to 20th after its pitstop.
So I'd think all of the top 22 are more or less in contention

gert · 27 Jul 2019, 20:13 (Ref:3919722)

rain announced around the circuit

Akrapovic · 27 Jul 2019, 20:23 (Ref:3919723)

Certainly raining round the back of the circuit.

Radar suggests this might last a while.

Wets onto the #1 Audi.

airbusA346 · 27 Jul 2019, 20:27 (Ref:3919725)

It's a bit wet

gert · 27 Jul 2019, 20:28 (Ref:3919726)

rain about everywhere. Almost everyone pits for rains now

Akrapovic · 27 Jul 2019, 20:30 (Ref:3919727)

Cars on slicks are losing 7-10 seconds in S2 alone. It's wets time for sure.

But as I say that, it doesn't look like it's actually raining in pit lane right now. It's wet, but the rain appears to have stopped.

gert · 27 Jul 2019, 20:32 (Ref:3919728)

hey John, know why they kept Aleshin out?
They want the 6H championship points.

They're too busy talking about balloons.

JoeW04 · 27 Jul 2019, 20:44 (Ref:3919730)

Hopefully the Porsche’s start moving back towards the front now

Akrapovic · 27 Jul 2019, 20:49 (Ref:3919732)

I'd like to see Porsche and Land move towards the front. And Bentley, but there's more chance of a Rebellion LMP1 winning this race than a Bentley.

Sadly, Land just got a drive-through for stint length

Some of these drivers taking the absolute mickey with Raidillon track limits, Schothorst straight lined it so much that he looked to be heading for the wall

They've said they won't be policing track limits at Raidlion, which is ridiculous and why they're doing it.

gert · 27 Jul 2019, 21:38 (Ref:3919739)

Something happened to the #1. Before they both pitted they were fighting with #25

gert · 27 Jul 2019, 21:53 (Ref:3919740)

... and here is Land's 3rd drive-through: pit stop infringment
... ditto for the race leader #25

gert · 27 Jul 2019, 21:57 (Ref:3919741)

Our long-time silver class leader #55 has stopped on track

gert · 27 Jul 2019, 21:59 (Ref:3919742)

The blonde pit girl has been replaced by a guy. He's maybe not as good-looking, but he's a lot better at interviewing race drivers.

gert · 27 Jul 2019, 22:00 (Ref:3919743)

drive-through for 25 appealed and suspended for now

EDIT: And cancelled even ...

I believe he works for SportsCar365. Ryan I think? He’s very good.

Akrapovic · 27 Jul 2019, 22:07 (Ref:3919745)

Car stopped at Blanchimon. Whatever that alarm going near the commentary box is, it needs to be dealt with.
