Lexus replaced them as the race sponsor this year so I'm not super sure how important the race is to their program.

Ah, see I wasn't aware of that. I was under the impression that as long-time sponsors (and the fact that there's Acura's plant not too far from the track) that there was just abit of political pull. Granted, that pull didn't quite work for the Macneils so I may have been off base for a long time there

A little bit of rain at Road America has spiced things up.

How the heck the 60 was still drivable after that impact, I have absolutely no clue.

Acura has fully unveiled their LMDh.

Still the least adventurous design, but it still looks good.

So its the test bed for the new Indycar engine, makes sense.

Today marks the 10th Anniversary since the American Le Man Series and Grand-Am merger.

How long will it take for NBC to notice their audio is way behind their picture?

Just caught the start. I was watching the 2013 WEC race thinking this race was tomorrow. Then I read some posts on here so checked IMSA and they were on the warm up lap.

Easy there gentlemen, it's only the start. That was a bit tense with the LMPs maneuvering through the traffic.

Yeah Bamber easing the Ferrari off course was really not necessary this early.

I posted that before that happened and then...it happened. That door was always closing. The GT car would have had to not aim for the apex.

 

[IforceV8]

It was probably a good non call, Mann wasnt paying attention to who was behind him and Bamber in 02 went on top of the curb to avoid him.

 

[Jezza819]

Ok enough with the yellow flags.

 

[Tired Tyres]

I think they are trying for a record number of yellows.

 

[IforceV8]

JDC gave their DPI a nice send off, thanks for the memories Cadillac.

 

[Jezza819]

Lot of contact going on in all classes.

 

[Northstar]

Tire 1, JPM 0.

 

[Jezza819]

Wow both Gnassi Cadillacs take each other out at Turn 1.

 

[Dylan]

Wow! The Ganassi Cadillac teammates get together!

 

[Jezza819]

Well this is going to be Acura head to head for the championship and the #60 gets the jump out of the pits.

 

[Northstar]

#10 is out after contact with the #57 Mercedes, which just now ended up in the wall.

 

[Dylan]

The 10 has contact with a GT car with 15 minutes to go and gets damage. And the car is being retired. 60 car gonna win the DPi championship as a result.

 

[Dylan]

Caution is out with 5 minutes to go. Probably gonna end under caution.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Yellow again. That looks like the 60 gets the championship.

Risi moved to the back for a drive time violation in GTD Pro
