[Eh Team]

Anyone know what the BoP changes were for Sebring?

Here's this years technical bulletin page. The bottom of each category is the most up to date.

IMSA stream is live, hopefully it performs better than Daytona.

The soccer announcer lady just finished her bit showing when the next matches are and literally said "racing is next".

Seriously? Just some "racing"? That right there shows the amount of thought an effort Fox Sports puts into motorsports.

I've heard racing commentators say "*insert sport* is next!" plenty of times without giving any specific details. I don't think it reflects whether or not the network cares, it just means they didn't give the other commentators any details.

Chromecast is still not working with the IMSA website and a VPN. Little help guys

That was an eventful first lap.

#2 Spun in turn 1 and both the #3 Corvette and a GTD Ferrari had left rear tire issues.

I think Pla has a future in D1 drifting Honestly though, to hold a prototype sideways around T1 like that without completely spinning it was super impressive. A shame the car seems to have other issues now.

15 minutes in and some cars already look like they've participated in the Safari Rally.

#2 behind the wall.

I'm out here, will post vids and pics later. Even after years and years of coming to Daytona and Sebring it never ever gets old. Every year it's just as thrilling and exciting as the last.

#64 is on its roof. Driver is out and looks ok.

 

[Dylan]

For some reason this reminds me of my 3 year old nephew playing hide'n'seek... you might hide behind the curtain but we can still see your feet, kiddo!

 

[DesertPenguin]

C'mon Mazda!!!

 

[Dylan]

Back to green.

"Do they need lead or tin rated drivers?" - "I think I would be rated as rust" - Oh that had me laughing pretty good

The replay from the starter stand caught the moment the Ferrari went airborne. Scary stuff to go roof first into the wall like that. Good thing it wasn't open cockpit!

Back tracking to the start, what a save by Pla! He has such skill. Too bad the car is out.

They just highlighted some Forza championship. Ironically, I did an hour in Forza racing the Corvette at Sebring last night with GT and LMP2. Fun track, and makes me appreciate it so much more getting into it first-person like that!

I still haven't seen the footage of the Ferrari airborne. Just the prototype spinning and then I see the Ferrari in the tires. Anyone wanna make a gif of it real quick?

It was hardly airborne. Clipped and flipped over.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Oh well. There will be plenty more today to look out for

 

[Northstar]

I know it's just because of the pit cycle, but Mazda is 1-2!

#3 is behind the wall

 

[Dylan]

3 behind the wall.
Edit: tree'd

Did you notice posts don't say when they were edited anymore?

 

[Roo]

No action on the first corner contact between #2 and #90.

Did you notice posts don't say when they were edited anymore?

They don't if you make an edit within a few minutes of making the post. This has always been the case.

 

[Dylan]

Did you notice posts don't say when they were edited anymore?

I edited it immediately after I posted it. Usually if you wait a minute or two before editing, it'll say when it was edited.
Edit: tree'd again.

#3 back out. It was an alternator issue.

Never knew that, cool.

Where is Paul Di Resta? I thoguht hew as just a news guy now for BBC, espsecially after his one off in the Williams F1 last year which was rather lackluster

 

[Dylan]

#75 off track.
Get's going again.
