Why's there an FCY? I went away for the wrong 20 mins it would seem.

To give somebody a chance to catch the Fords (debris)

 

[Michelin Man]

Just came back to the stream after a nap this morning, great to see the Fords still going strong , though it suck to see the Penskes so far back. What happened, mechanical maladies from what I gather?

Otherwise It's good to see GTD opened up again, nice to see #86 up their.

They have been running 44:00 to 44:50, pretty much what they ran all weekend isn't it? They have just been able to do it all race long which nobody else has been able to do.

Yes, I believe you'd be correct on that. I'm just poking fun at them for the nice lead they've developed over the GTLM field.

Maybe if we get enough FCY's somebody else may be able to catch up

If NASCAR has its way, I'm sure someone will

Well when one of the major contenders parks it because repeated tire issues and debris scattered everywhere...might want to clean up the **** just saying.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Looked like the 31 Whelen car jumped the restart massively.

Well, the thruth is that chief Ganassi ordered the Fords to do an immediate, yet insconspicuous evacuation of the sandbags they were carrying, but apparently one of them didn't quite get it right, and the remains of the bag were left on the track side for all to see.

In doing so, Imsa had no choice but put up a FCY so the "debris from a previous incident" could be cleaned off without any hassle.

I think.

 

[MustangManiac]

This could get interesting when the 31 catches the 5.

 

[catamount39]

Zi Porsche is on the move ja?! Potential spoiler to the Canadian/American party up front maybe.

Hopefully Corvette can still pull this off.

 

[MustangManiac]

Two great battles going on track right now, the 31 vs the 5 and the 3 vs the 67 so we go to commercials...of course we do

#51 spun off at the bus stop. Lot's of rear damage. No caution.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

The #31 car had closed right in behind the #5 but was following different lines on the banking, it's now dropped back a few seconds, I wonder if it needs clean air for cooling?

 

[GTFan24]

Anyone know a stream link for the IMSA feed? The FSGO stream keeps buffering every 10 seconds

IMSA live timing keeps showing practice 1 for me instead of the race. Is the 4th place #4 Vette on the lead lap? I know the #3 is that's chasing the Fords.

No. #4 is 1 lap down.

IMSA live timing sucks. Use this instead - http://livescoring.us/2018/imsa01/index.php

http://www.radiolemans.co/imsa-live-video-stream/ I'm using this on my PS4 in Finland, dunno if it works well for other countries or not.

#31 in the garage with overheating issues.
Edit: Coming back out.

 

[Dylan]

#32 having issues leaving pit road. Rear cover coming off.
Edit: Now the nose is coming off. Possible clutch issue.
Double Edit: Back on track.

Now the United Autosport proto has a green light on its rear end? WHAT DOES IT MEAN??????

My computer died so now I’m stuck with the FS# coverage. It’s better than nothing I guess.

Also, what happened to the Penske cars while I was sleeping?

How about trying the RLM feed of their website, with the P4, thats what I'm using here in Finland. Works decently.

#6 had alternator issues. #7 had contact with the #31

It is so the individual teams can identify they’re own car at a glance at night. That is the reason for the lights on all of the cars.

Usually the identification lights are located somewhere more visible then in the middle of the rear diffuser, facing rearwards. And the UA proto is not the only one with that same light, the JDC-Miller protos also have it, on the same location.

The GTD's have the green light to tell other drivers to be aware of the "gentleman" racer behind the wheel. I wonder if its same with the protos if they have "gentleman" racers driving aswell?

He's talking about just this small square green light at the back of the car. Not the different color vibrant lights located on different parts of the cars

8 hour nap later, a lot of the cars/teams I was pulling for are very far down the scoring screen. :/ Par for the course, actually...

 

[AnthonyD1993]

It's pretty cool to see a modern era endurance race pan out like an old school endurance race. Sure, it's still very much a 24 hour sprint, but the attrition has really taken a toll on the race.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

The Ford GT looks loads better since they changed the tone of red on the rear, the car is now disgusting rather than revolting.

 

[Dylan]

Right rear flat on the #62 Ferrari.
