That's not good, a strange place for an accident too.

That could've been a huge accident. Very lucky.

Mazda running well. We must be due a fire!

1 by 1 train from 1 to 7 in GTLM right now, as Tandy in the #91 seems to have trouble keeping up.

thanks. I'm watching on Fox Sports1 stateside, but I'm using the word "watching" loosely. There have already been a couple non-racing segments. Glad i am watching live though this week so i can at least listen to RLM and watch T&S.

Goikhenberg is struggling in the 99. Crazy since the sister car is pulling away from the field.

I don't have cable but yeah. Already stock piling the pre record segments over there eh? But hey at least you are getting educated about how racing tires work.

Race settled so far. Gaps from 1st through 8th in GTLM about 8 seconds. So it promises to be a close one today. Even BMW hanging in there so far. Watching the #4 and #25 go at it for 6th. Looks like #24 pressuring #92 for 4th just ahead.

Has to be a Caddy team. They referenced last year, so it's not Acura, and there's no chance the Nissan or Mazda would find that much time.

I think #63 Ferrari held up Gavin and Sims. The top 3 in GTLM Ford 66, 67, and Corvette 3 have a gap over the others.

Well that was well timed for the 31 and Core. That'll most likely cycle them to the front.

Did that guy from Continental Tires just say electric cars have tall skinny tyres and that's a new challenge? Has...he seen an electric car? Or did I miss a bit of what he was talking about?

77 has jumped everyone according to the timing tower! And the 5 has jumped a lot too.

Edit: 31 didn't repair the damage under yellow. Surprised they didn't use the free time in that stop to repair the deck. They'd still be second.

i missed it, my phone rang. But it wouldn't surprise me if he said that. And what electric cars? I think a Tesla has a different tire size than a Nissan Leaf.

Maggo just pointed me to the i3 and i8, and the i3 does look skinny but the i8 looks normal enough.

Continental interviews have always been a bit odd though. Wonder what the Michelin equivalent will be like next year.

Acura has had a pretty dismal season, going off on a restart just seems to fit.

Especially ironic since their base car, is the best P2 car.
