Interesting that the Caddy isn't able to power past more than 1, sometimes 2 on a straight. The GTDs are nippy.

This might work for AXR but it really is a massive gamble they didn't need to take.

BoP seems fine, as the mazda is bloody fast. They just had slow stops. Nissan could maybe use a little look though, that's in no mans land.

Taylor has cleared the GTD traffic now. Gap went back out. Cameron needs to pit now before it starts dropping again.

Can't see Curran making it through without some fortune or laps of his life.

Stevenson Audi slow, will it make it to the pits or not...

Edit - That was it, #31 should have pitted the moment he saw the slow Audi.

Nissan were just slow. Never looked like it could keep up, except in traffic.

Thanks, I had thought Dalziel was up in the top 5 after the last stops but has since dropped back.

Very clean and professional run for Acura and WTR.

Good race that. Very clean. All this moaning about street circuits - seemed to work just fine today. Could get rid of the PC class from it too and it'd be even better.

The problem is, in theory, the only way to actually balance them is BoP the top teams from every manufacturer together. And currently Speedsource are crap and ESM are crap. Although judging by today, AXR have gotten a bit crap too.

I would've suggested this (jokingly!) after some of the other races we had this year, but today the #31 seemed to be on the pace of the #10. (Terrible day for the #5, though).

Glad to see Mazda get their first podium and it would also have been interesting to see what Visit Florida could have done if it hadn't been for Habul's brainfart.

I had forgot about the 90 incident by the end of the race. They could have indeed been a factor. Really surprised by the 70 car, it is rare that they are the better of the two mazdas. I've thought the 5 had been having an off year all together. The 31 is now the lead (team) car in my opinion.

If you listen close Porsche Cup cars use the same compressor as the Audi and Lambo but the mic usually pics up a crapload of gear whine.

I worked outside all day, came home, collapsed ... got called back to work ... came home, collapsed ... then crawled to my computer ... and completely forgot that there would be spoilers everywhere.

About to watch the race ... I don't know which Cadillac won but I know the Mazdas finished ... and congrats to Acura!
