#7 is officially out now, stuff being packed away in the pits.

 

[DesertPenguin]

That's the third time now. Jesus just use that super tape and be done with it

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Even more hood problems for the 14.

 

[DesertPenguin]

So much excitement in DPi and GTLM top 4 positions in each class

 

[JohnBM01]

So how are you folks enjoying Sebring 2018? I haven't seen too much except for what was on FOX Sports 1 this morning. I'm listening on Radio Le Mans online right now.

I was going to post, but I'm now listening from IMSA's Radio feed. Now I'm getting the full coverage.

Not race related but pretty cool Z06 in the Corvette corral with the C7.R livery. Would look great on the new ZR1 with the wing.

Juan Pablo Montoya spins in Sunset Bend! Keeps the car running and gets going again.


Edit: #90 tried to go up the inside of the #6, the #6 wiggled, and made contact.
Edit2: Now #6 is slow on track.
Edit3: Now #6 is stopped on track. Caution is out.

Edit4: Both Penske Acuras are now out of contention.

 

[Dylan]

#25 BMW had a long stop and left his box just as the field was pacing by. Got held at the end of pit road and is now a lap down.

 

[Dylan]

Mazda leads the field to the green flag!

 

[Dylan]

Caution is out for debris, caused by contact between the #31 and the #10.

 

[Dylan]

Green flag is back out. The #10's rear wing is crooked and barely attached and they didn't pit to get it fixed since it was a short yellow. Don't think it's gonna last very long.

Edit: Pitting now to replace the wing.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

4+ hours to go and they seem to be driving like there is 10 minutes left in the race every time they restart.

 

[Bram Turismo]

Those 911s are LOUD...

 

[Dylan]

#38 and #5 have made contact coming out of Sunset Bend. Lotta damage to the right front suspension on the #38. No caution.

Edit: Both cars on pit road. #5 getting a new nose and having it's front suspension inspected.

 

[Jezza819]

#5 goes out and damages that brand new nose with contact on #38.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

No further action for the incident between the 38 and 5.

 

[Dylan]

Big piece of debris on track. Part of the rear bumper of the 912 Porsche! Caution is out.

 

[Organ-Donor]

Those 911s are LOUD...

Ear piercing whine, I was watching them run nose to tail earlier and it blew my eardrums because the C7.R was right behind as well.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

If you ever wanted to know what a 911 RSR engine and transmission looks like

 

[Ether]

That Porsche actually looks really cool and quite aggressive without a rear bumper, even if it is doing his areo no good.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Here's a much better pic

 

[Dylan]

The reason the bumper came off the Porsche was because the diffuser got ripped off. The diffuser and the bumper are all one piece.

 

[Michelin Man]

Tell you what though, the #67 has got it's strategy right so far, it's really benefited from this caution, came out in the lead of GTLM .

Looks like a Can-Am machine. I dig it.

 

[Dylan]

Green flag!

 

[DesertPenguin]

Sunset looks really good with the clear skies

 

[Dylan]

3 hours remain. #55 leads but still needs to pit.

 

[LumpiestFish]

I’m sure it’s not at all fun for the drivers and team, but that 911 without the rear end looks absolutely badass.

They didn't fix it and it's allowed out?

They fixed it during the caution that came out because of them.

Edit: 2 hours to go.
