[Dylan]

22 IN THE WALL!!!

 

[IforceV8]

I'm sorry Nissan...

 

[GTFan24]

WHAT THE ACTUAL **** PORSCHE?!

WHAT THE ACTUAL **** PORSCHE?!

Right.

 

[Panoz]

The #22 had a off and then touched a GTD Porsche that put it in the wall.

• Now they're talking about the next Art Car.....do be designed by the youngest ever Art Car artist, who specializes in digital and video media. They're actually going to get a kid in a video game to design something better.

The #22 had a off and then touched a GTD Porsche that put it in the wall.

Incorrect slightly. It wiggled a bit coming onto the banking but was in control. The Porsche didn't give him quite enough room and they came together which put the 22 in the wall.

 

[IforceV8]

Factory Porsche driver Wolf Henzler squeezed factory Porsche driver Brendon Hartley.

I'm out for the night, be back in 6-8 hours

 

[CodeRedR51]

At this point I'll be surprised if a Cadillac doesn't win this race.

My attention is mostly focused on GTD now...

Track temp is 52 Degrees F. That's freezing cold for a race track.

Yeah the Nissan came down slightly, but the Porsche went way up. I'd call it 70% Porsche's fault.

 

[GTRacer22]

Racing incident, no one should be at fault, IMO. Cold tires, not enough room for either, just not a good combo.

 

[IforceV8]

I would bet Wolf assumed that the DPi would zoom past and he could sneak in behind him and had no idea he was on a out lap on cold tires.

I'm starting to think that the IMSA Twitter guy has had a few too many trips to the Patron booth tonight.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Hindy said that cars will slide down the banks if they go less than 100 mph. I wonder if that had anything to do with the 22 losing it from the contact.

Well lets get real here, if the safety crew can park a pickup truck on the banking and it doesnt fall of the edge of the world than a race car sure as hell wont. Hindy might have been in the ESM tent too.

 

[GTFan24]

PC CAR SPIN

DRINK

 

[CodeRedR51]

I think the rain might pick up a little bit here shortly.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

RLM was just as shocked was I was when they said all the PCs are now logging laps.

Hindy said that cars will slide down the banks if they go less than 100 mph. I wonder if that had anything to do with the 22 losing it from the contact.

That has more to do with the fact that the track was at a tempt where that car was never gonna get ideal temps in the tires. It didn't make it better that he went in the grass before hand.

I'm pretty sure there are forces up there pulling a car moving too slow that won't affect a parked vehicle.

Except the safety crew's parked vehicle has something the moving Race car doesn't: The Parking brake.

 

[Savolainen83]

Deja-vu, slow moving vehicle on its outlap with cold tyres. Almost accident waiting to happen.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I know IMSA doesn't allow tire warmers, but I think they need to make an exception for certain conditions. This is pretty dangerous.

 

[Dylan]

So dpi's/prototypes, in the rain, with a cold track, are undriveable on stickers.

RML is having the same question.

Another off.
