2017 Rolex Daytona 24 Hour: Results Inside

[catamount39]

A Porsche flat 6 going up in smoke? What?!

 

[Northstar]

Like the GM cars are in a class by themselves.

I know it's the first race, but hopefully IMSA replaces PC with a DPi-Am sub class next year as I can't see the global-spec teams sticking around if they don't have a snowball's chance without all-pro lineups.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

ISR knows what up.

Does it bother anyone else that the shot isn't lined up perfectly?

P-Am actually....the thing still says P. Still call it the P class it seems.

I'm pretty sure next year will be a three class series, dropping PC all-together. It'd be nice if they could get LMP3 cars but idk how the budgets work on those.

PC teams are buying LMP3's and being shunted down to the Prototype Lights as their top class. We'll only have P, GTLM and GTD.

10 and 5 matching pace stride for stride, but both are losing time to the 31. Seb Morris is absolutely flying.

 

[IforceV8]

So much for that fancy radar system on the NSX.

Must be radar pulled from a WWII Japanese aircraft carrier...

I thought about cropping it, but I was lazy and didn't feel like doing it. I am a millennial, after all!

EDIT: Major problems for the #31. Stalled leaving pits, was about to be pushed back to the garage, but it refired and is heading back out to the track.

 

[Silent Drifter]

31 going behind the wall

Edit: nope, they just bump started it behind the wall

 

[catamount39]

#31 has problems.

Edit: MEGA BUMP START xD

 

[Ameer67]

#31 Cadi going behind the wall.

And now it's back on track.

 

[Panoz]

31 to the garage.

First chip of Caddy's race falling off?

 

[catamount39]

Just pulled it back for a mega bump start. xD

Edit: #52 de la spin

 

[Ameer67]

#52 spin.

Doesn't look like it hit the tire wall.

 

[MustangManiac]

31 going behind the wall

Edit: nope, they just bumped started it behind the wall

I didn't know they couldn't push start it on pitlane.

 

[IforceV8]

Hey when did Jeff Gordon get here?

Where's my Zoom Zoom?

Zoom zoom go vroom vroom.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

If the Caddys all have the issue that the 31 had, it could get real interesting in the race. It still could very much be anyone's race should those gremlins continue to appear on all cars.

 

[Northstar]

Where's my Zoom Zoom?

#55 is 5th, #70 is 8th.

 

[CodeRedR51]

NWS says 50-80% chance, so it's not a question of if but when.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

#55 is 5th, #70 is 8th.

Timing and Scoring shows the #55 in 4th but a lap down. What happened? just lack of pace?

 

[Savolainen83]

PC spun at the bus stop.

 

[Ameer67]

#26 spun at Bus Stop.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Olly's take on a stint he had:

 

[Panoz]

PC fail and spin.
