#62 Ferrari and #38 prototype contact and spin on bus stop. FCY and safety car!

...I decide to watch the onboards for two minutes...

 

[Jezza819]

Why did they have to go FCY? It looked like both cars got going again.

Chase Elliott in the #31 and Jordan Taylor in the #3

Why did they have to go FCY? It looked like both cars got going again.

Even if the cars got underway, they probably need to inspect/fix the safety barriers and sweep the track for possible debris and sand etc.

Then they need to do a pit stops for all classes, starting with the Dpi's.

After that they need to re-arrange the cars so that all cars in all classes are in correct running order before they can continue racing.

GREEN! GREEN! GREEN !

This race has been a great demonstration so far of those two embodiments of American racing: caution periods, and every single thing in the broadcast being sponsored.

Don’t forget that Chase Elliott is in the race. Because NBC sure hasn’t.

Lucky thing we europeans get the Imsa feed without adds and RLM commentary.

LMP3 spins in the bus stop right in front of the #3 Corvette.

 

[Savolainen83]

#91 LMP3 spinning at the bus stop but is able to continue driving.

Damn those Caddies sound sweet when leaving the pitlane.

So, does this yellow flag event go on for long?

The Daytona 24hours yellow flag event!

Oh come on, it's only going to be 12 hours of caution

 

[Tired Tyres]

Oh come on, it's only going to be 12 hours of caution

Or maybe 18 hours. Anyway, I'm not watching it. I'm asleep. Honest.

The problem with Daytona is there really isn’t much runoff space combined with the high speed. It’s very dangerous to send track workers out even under local caution conditions.

That certainly doesn’t excuse the way IMSA has set up the caution procedure for this race though.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

So RLM said that the delayed caution was initially caused by the pace car going too slow. It going too slow lead to the jumbled mess due to releasing cars in the pits that was the reshuffling debacle of that caution. Worth noting that Beaux Barfield himself (IMSA race director) told RLM (IMSA Radio) that.

I'd consider that pull and break of the fuel hose a little more than a "glitch."

Scary stuff. I hope Bill Auberlen and crew that took fuel to the face are ok.

 

[Dolph Drago]

Nice to see NBC back to their usual commercial break every two minutes...

 

[Tired Tyres]

What is it with BMW drivers punting cars in this race?

Man I love this team

Coverage seems to be better now that they're off NBC or NBCSN or whatever it was. Guessing it's not a whole lot of viewers so they bombard it with ads to make it up.

 

[Savolainen83]

Grasser Lambo having some sort of problems, stalled on the pitlane and needed to be pushed to the pitbox.

Grasser Lambo having some sort of problems, stalled on the pitlane and needed to be pushed to the pitbox.

Usually known as running out of fuel.

 

[Savolainen83]

#19 Grasser Lambo showing signs of fire at the bus stop. Full Course Yellow!

 

[Savolainen83]

Lexus #12 stopped at the exit of bus stop. Full course yellow.

Am I the only one in here?

Thanks to a slight snow storm moving in to where I live, I lost the cable signal on about 3/4's of my channels (I don't know why it didn't affect every channel, just every one I was interested in watching). It happened naturally right at 11pm on the dot as the coverage came back onto NBCSN. Suffice it to say, I haven't seen anything in hours.

Blame Murphy and his law for that.

Happened so far:

At some point (missed it myself, only saw the replay) the #5 Cadillac made contact with the #16 Porsche at the first corner and spend time on the pits after that. Currently working its way back in order.

The bus stop was twice the hot spot for two different cars making unplanned stops there, resulting in full course yellows and safety cars.

that is pretty much all. Missed the point when the Acura took the lead.
