Well would you look at that! What driver at Corvette is out again via wreck...fourth one this year. Maybe he's a Meeke fan

I'm betting his Le Mans podium finishing teammate and victim of that chrome horn Jeff Segal will not be happy with just a hug.There will be many a bro hug when they meet again for the next Indycar broadcast.

Cack, the #007 Aston has ground to a hault with what, 7mins left 
.
Edit: darn it, now the #67 has had to come in....Looks like Westbrooks mighty stint wasn't enough

Really good battle between the 3 and the 24 for 3rd in GTLM.

Well, very well done to the #911, getting the '17 RSR's first win in IMSA, and a mighty display in general for Porsche to get a one-two in GTLM, fair do's. And nice little battle for third in the end there, nice one by Tomczyk in the #24, glad he held off the #3 Vette to hold 3rd 
.
And speaking of Porsche, mighty stuff for the #73 GT3 R to get the win in GTD, mighty drive there, plus a very decent recovery drive by the #93 to get back up to 5th. Otherwise, not quite the the day for my beloved Ford's, with the #66 suffering "problems", and the #67 unfortunately having to pit at the end there, looks like their adventurous strategy they tried at Laguna last year, didn't quite pay off, even if it was a very impressive stint by Westbrook.

Great race, fantastic to not have craptastic Prototypes anywhere to be seen and just good GT racing at a lunatic track. 👍

Yea, interesting to see there were no yellows too, I'm kind of surprised given Lime Rocks, tight, narrow nature, but was just a very good GT race.

Visit Florida Racing is switching to a Liger for now.

Well that's expected/unexpected. The Multimatic is in a state of limbo as it's fixed and made competitive so a switch for a desperate team makes sense. However, why Ligier if the rumor was a Dallara Cadillac next year? Will they stick with an LMP2 or...get a Nissan?
Just seems odd, as the Ligier is/isn't as competitive as the Oreca, right now. Probably reading way too much into it, but to choose a Ligier specifically seems interesting at this moment.

...Or maybe a Ligier was the only car they could get on such short notice? I wouldn't read too much into what they choose, I think they just needed to get out of the Multimatic.
Unrelated note: I was at Lime Rock at the weekend, and it didn't disappoint!
I have more pics, but I don't wanna make a giant post. It was an absolute blast!

I wonder if that #52 PR1 car that ended the race upside down at Mosport with paying drivers in it ends up being the chassis they use?
nope.

GTLM BOP update. Ford gets a small increase in boost and that's it. No other cars were touched.

There's already complaints about the length of the schedule, so as nice as it would be I don't think the calendar will be expanding any time soon.
