And OF COURSE Mazda has an issue

 

[DesertPenguin]

I think the #55 is gonna be out now? What's going on I was away for 10 minutes damnit

 

[Dylan]

The #55 which has been having trouble leaving pits under it's own power, just stalled on pit road! Back underway. Meanwhile, the #85 had an issue leaving pit road. Got tagged by the #63.
Edit: #85 on pit road for a rear wing change.

 

[Jezza819]

C'mon Mazda

 

[Dylan]

#55 is now 1 lap down. I'd say that's it for Mazdas chances.

 

[DesertPenguin]

C'mon Mazda

Compared to all of last year and Daytona this year it's a massive improvement. No other race this year is as long and they had the problem become a major issue this late, so if they can hold up for all the shorter races, be okay at The Glen for 6 hours, and sort out the problem by the end of the year for Petit Le Mans they can be championship contendrs

Oh no doubt. This is a huge boost to the program. I just would have liked to see the #55 finish on the lead lap.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Nothing is out of the question here. YOu never know

 

[Jezza819]

Does the #29 Audi have white headlights?

 

[GTFan24]

So has the 911 RSR not won a race yet?

 

[Dylan]

Does the #29 Audi have white headlights?

Yes. And technically they should be amber.

The engine in the Nissan DPi is the same engine that was in the Nissan LM project that never worked. Imagine if they just made a normal MR layout like everyone else way back then...

 

[Northstar]

Derani really is unhuman.

Great racing all around BoP seemed much better than Daytona.

#22 Nissan DPi wins prototype and overall!
#911 Porsche 911 RSR wins GTLM!
#48 Lamborghini GT3 wins GTD!

No it's not.

Are you sure? I thought it was based off of the GTR GT3 engine.

 

[Dylan]

The DPi uses the same engine as the GT3 car, also I do believe the GTR LM failed because of the hybrid system not working and the car basically running on half power.

 

[DesertPenguin]

I thought they were the same engine in all three, my bad

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Are you sure? I thought it was based off of the GTR GT3 engine.

It is, hence my "no it's not" comment to him. ByKolles will be the first car since that program to use the engine.

 

[DesertPenguin]

I checked it an Wikipedia. the engine shares similarities with the GT-R road car engine.

Which engine, the current DPi? Cause yes it does, which is why I said it has the GT3 engine, which is the road engine for racing.

 

[DesertPenguin]

So in a way it still has a connection to that engine. Six degrees of y'know whatever...

Anyway, I really want to make some IMSA multi-class races in PCars2 now. LMP2, GTE, GT3 with the full GTE list now that the Porsche RSR was added just makes it complete. Next race is Long Beach and we have that...

I had to go to Forza to run Sebring, but am looking forward to doing proper multiclass/timed racing in PCars2!

Great race with some strange occurrences (first tent induced FCY ever? ). Awesome job by the Paul Miller guys to grab 1st in GTD, and glad to see that Porsche grab a win in an enduro. 👍 Nissan and Mazda proved to be on the same level as Cadillac too, which means the "sprint" races could prove very interesting.

Wayne Taylor dropping a F bomb on live tv, yeah that race had a little bit of everything.

Yeah was there and it was awesome! Go huracan!

 

[JohnBM01]

I saw most of the highlights of Sebring 2018 yesterday. There were some pretty brutal wrecks! It was a great race with some pretty dramatic moments. My congratulations go out to all winners, overall and in the various classes.

 

[raven214]

Full race is up on YouTube! Watching it now..

Love the history of this track!

Laguna Seca will be switching to a reverse layout.

Reverse layout? Why? I don't think I like the sound of that.
