2017 Rolex Daytona 24 Hour: Results Inside

[Silent Drifter]

It's a good thing you guys playing the drinking game don't have to drink every time they say Jeff Gordon...none of you would make it through the race!

I thought about it, but like you said, I wouldn't make it through the race.

So much for that fancy radar system on the NSX.

Can you elaborate on the radar system? I don't know anything about the NSX racecar.

Apparently taken from a Japanese aircraft carrier cause it hasn't really helped.

It's like the Corvette's.

Or a British Submarine missile system.

Kinda hard for onboard radar to ignore what its aimed at m8...

Rear facing camera w/monitor and a radar feature that is supposed to show if a car is approaching. Of course it works much better when somebody actually looks at the monitor.

 

[Dan]

Thanks guys.

With all of the jokes being had at the PC drivers' expenses, do they normally drive poorly? I don't follow racing as much as I should.

DRINK!

ALSO I *****ING JINXED IT

Context pls. What's the subject of your drinking game?

Rearwing change for the #5 Caddy. Some sort of damage in the old wing or new wing for possible wet weather?

Never imagined you would need new aerodynamic kits for rain.

PC generally speaking in legitly responsible for at least half of the accidents in IMSA competition. I've dubbed them "America's Am Ferrari" because of that.

Ouch. It's that bad, huh?

That bad. That's why they're always involved in the Rolex 24 drinking game.

First year of the series a guy spun out at Sebring and pulled out in front of traffic and got smacked into by another PC. Set the tone really.

Everytime a PC Car spins we take a shot

Find that clip!

It is the fastest way to add downforce when the track gets wet. You have a nose section and rear wing pod set to a higher downforce level and when it comes time to change to wet tires you change those parts in a few seconds.

Gonna just watch the Corvette onboard for an hour. V8 Heaven.

To be honest, I really didn't know if they do that kind of things in reality but apparently its a thing then.

Mazda asked raced control to black flag the 55 due to radio issues.

Son of a...as if the Caddy's being OP wasn't bad enough for them.

 

[PJTierney]

Lambo...

There's a fun irony in the fact that the Forza car called it quits after 7 minutes.

• Forza games don't have yellow flags, and this Lamborghini didn't get to see any (even though it did end up making one).
• The typical online race only lasts 3 laps, or about 5-7 minutes on average.

 

[Ameer67]

#88 sparks.

 

[catamount39]

That literally leaves one PC car left on the class lead lap/not crashed now. The #38 has Rolex's waiting for them.

RLM, please, please let Johnny O' Connell be a guest analyst for the Rolex 24 every year if he doesn't actively compete in the race. The guy knows what he's talking about and he always has great insight regarding what the drivers are doing.

 

[IforceV8]

Got dumped by the 31

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Tried to overtake on the outside of the banking, doesn't work like that

 

[Leadfoot530]

"We Are Number One" but every time they say 'one', a Prototype Challenge car crashes.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Is the caution seriously just to get the PC car out of the way?

I'd guess they're doing some track cleanup as well since the car looked like it dropped parts after it turned into the wall.

The M6s are in a world of hurt come the B12H. Upgrades or not.

 

[Ameer67]

Scary stuff.

Different BOP table.
