Well Jonny Mowlem isn't pulling any punches on the pit change!
Surprise, Jeremy Shaw backs whatever comes out of the rule makers' mouths... |

Incredible how much green running we’ve had. PCs going could be the difference here.

Penske cars look great at night. What's he deal with the white lights on the GTLM? Did I miss that?

I love how Fox Sports is advertising the current event during the current event. That's my favorite!I just picked that up, too. GTLMs are running white lights and the GTDs yellow.

Lol. I'm enjoying the Fox jabs. I have had the volume up on the Fox coverage for a total of about 5 minutes all race. Sure enough, I got an "argey bargey" in that span....

Also, you're sure to get some gold from this guy and his gold chain. This neatly tucked underneath is speed polo shirt however. Last edited by fieldodreams79; 28 Jan 2018 at 00:25. |

At least the Caddy's aren't running away at night. Hopefully these Oreca Acuras and Ligier Nissans can keep this up.

Cadillac #10 this time. Didn't lose much time as he was pretty close to the pits anyway |

Yet another right rear puncture! I really hope when Michelin comes on this issue is gone!

All these right rear punctures are genuinely surprising. For all the problems Conti tires have had over the years, being failure-prone has NOT been one of them.

I know that it's easy to knock on Continental, and I'm not one of their bigger supporters, but could the banking and the fact that this has been a dry race (but with a shower just prior) and the fast pace with hardly any FCYs be aggravating the problem?

Regardless of whether their absence has given us more green running, I don’t think anybody will be saying that they were the missing ingredient from the race come Sunday evening! |

Running order is Cadillac, Nissan, Acura, Acura. That looks beautiful. Plus, it's been almost all green flag running, so it's on pace, not through bunched up fields. |

the prototype stints are ridiculously short, just a bit more than 30 minutes. I think the teams are double stint the tyres, and that could cause the tyre's failures.

Previous races when we have had tire failures we always hear that the teams are running outside of recommended pressures or camber. That may be, but if everyone is doing it..... |
