2017 Rolex Daytona 24 Hour: Results Inside

[MustangManiac]

Complaining about BoP and leading.

People who are leading should not complain, they should just shut up & drive.

 

[Michelin Man]

Looks like a big engine failure, seems terminal

 

[Dylan]

96 stopped as well.

Tell that to Mike Shank. He clearly wants a 20 second lead like the Cadillac's.

Turbo's dropping like flys. Exxxxcccceeeeeellllleeeeennnnnnnntttttttt.

 

[IforceV8]

I'm now cheering for a Cadillac 1-2 and a Audi 29 GTD win.

Turbos expiring? I know of four cars that have two a peice!

Well, it's Mike Shank sooo...

 

[Michelin Man]

On the subject of the Ford sounding gorgeous, the Porsche's don't sound too shabby either

You evil evil 🤬....include the Ford's in that please. Thank you.

That would be one and a spare

 

[IforceV8]

You evil evil 🤬....include the Ford's in that please. Thank you.

Well I made a comment about how good the Nissan's were doing and then Hartley got drunk and hit everything on the track and now the 488 GT3 I thought would win and that never breaks now just ate it's pistons in a nice pesto sauce so...

What is the difference between the green and red numbers on the scoreboard?

 

[AnthonyD1993]

8 and 88 both officially out of the race. They should have both been out way earlier as far as I'm concerned since they were rolling chicanes and rolling caution generators all day.

 

[Northstar]

Is this the first time a Cadillac hasn't been in the lead?

 

[BenMillard]

So sad for @Sam Bird (Twitter). Saw him in Formula E and was so impressed by his driving and off-track conduct. Really deserved the result; was pulling away about 1 second every 10 minutes over 2nd place.

Perhaps that's the age-old endurance racing conundrum in action: "In order to finish first, first you have to finish!"

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Is this the first time a Cadillac hasn't been in the lead?

No. One of the spec cars held the lead earlier in the race.

 

[Savolainen83]

You mean those eco(ego)boosted ones?

 

[Northstar]

What is the difference between the green and red numbers on the scoreboard?

Red - Pro classes
Green - Pro-Am classes

No. One of the spec cars held the lead earlier in the race.

Guessing it was just for a split second.

 

[Ameer67]

Dat traffic.

 

[IforceV8]

57 Audi

 

[Leadfoot530]

#62: "Okay, you wanna play games, Ford? Let's play games!"

INB4 Ford start a petition to penalize the #62.

 

[Flaren89]

How the f* are fast the Chevrolet crew at pits? Now I understand why the car is not that fast in the track, it's the BoP for having the best crew of the race...

They penalized a prototype for that earlier, the rules are pretty clear.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Red - Pro classes
Green - Pro-Am classes



Guessing it was just for a split second.

Hmm, you'd have thought splitting it into the different car classes would have made more sense.

They're pretty much the GT equivalent of Audi.

That would be that common sense thing that is in short supply when it comes to the people running NA motorsports.

 

[Ameer67]

Green flag.

 

[flip55]

Well, that was short lived for the 90...

 

[catamount39]

The Cadillac's stupid fast.

Hmm, you'd have thought splitting it into the different car classes would have made more sense.

it is...they just use 2 colors for everything.
