Is there any live coverage of the IMSA race in the UK? I'm sure Daytona was shown live on the IMSA website in the UK, but it doesn't look like WG will be...

It's listed as the next live race on IMSA.tv

That was ambitious by the #18 LMP2.

In his mind I guess the 47 Ferrari thought he could block a P2 car,

It was too soon for wets, rain is still a couple of miles away.

Oh look at that Kaz. It rains on American tracks.

Oh look at that Kaz. It rains on American tracks.

Weird thing is, they remembered this in GT6. Somehow they forgot onwards.

Why do the close the pits when it's raining?

Under yellow. Big rain coming which will probably end this race.

and the rain is moving off and the track is drying, sprint race time.

I've only been watching bits of the race as the Scotland Euros game is on right now, so I don't know what happened - I hope she is OK.

So far, I don't think I've seen more than a few minutes of green light racing at WG - I know safety is important, but this restart process seems to be ridiculously long... and now there's another yellow

Bad luck for the iron dames again: Bovy lost the car in a corner + wet track and crashed into a barrier
They managed to get in the top 5 after starting from the back of the field due to some problems with the engine (too much power or something).

I hope that's just because of the impact and the g force sensor and nothing serious...

Edit 2024-06-25:
Bovy had to stay over night in the hospital (Source: https://sportscar365.com/imsa/iwsc/bovy-released-from-hospital-after-watkins-crash/) and today it was announced that Iron Dames/Iron Lynx withdraw the entry from the 24h of Spa (Source: https://sportscar365.com/sro/world-challenge-europe/iron-dames-withdraw-from-24h-spa/)

MSR is back with Acura for a 2 car effort.

Something interesting about that deal is that HRC is bringing in their own people to run one of those cars.
