[MatskiMonk]

FCY

LMP2 cock up... DRINK!

 

[Dylan]

Made it 2 hours and 10 minutes before the first yellow.

 

[IforceV8]

I'm waiting for a front nose reference.

 

[-Fred-]

This new safety car procedure is a bit time consuming...

From bad to worse for AO and Rexy, 10 second stop and go.

 

[MatskiMonk]

C'mon Gustl! You're better than Priaulx Jnr!

Porsche #7 has taken the overall lead!

Porsche #7 has taken the overall lead!

It's had it for a while, bar Rast getting his nose past over the line.

Pretty sure it was the #12 GTD Lexus.

Anyways, happy to get in and start watching the race, wonder what I've missed...

63 Lambo officially out.

Edit: As an aside, the GTP EV-to-ICE Bump Start will never get old.

BMW Overall lead and podium in each class...

Chequer Flag it now...

It really is amazing the turnaround in performance BMW has had with the M Hybrid V8 so far.

She's still doing the MX5 Cup commentary, though.

Well, the driver lineup feels really strong.

Having the WRT WEC program up and running in '24 helped BMW sort out the car.

and having a sweet BOP at min weight/max hp doesnt hurt either.

 

[Savolainen83]

FCY #93 Acura having issues.

 

[NotThePrez]

Full-course Yellow. The #93 MSR Acura has shut down on the track.

Looks like the left-rear suspension is broken. That wheel has some pretty major camber on it.

 

[Veinz]

😐

 

[MatskiMonk]

LMP2 sideways on the banking... DRINK!

 

[RACECAR]

I was waiting for Jeremy and Shea and they I googled their names and imsa...

Yep. Shea left on her own accord (A major life change from the way she worded her announcement). Jeremy Shaw's absince is abit more...mysterious.

NBC interviewing the president of Daytona International Speedway. He says they are planning to do something to the bus stop to make it more visually appealing for future races. Glad to see they’ve seen and heard the complaints.

#31 Whelen Cadillac takes the lead! Scott Dixon in the #60 Acura takes 3rd!

Dunno if it would be feasible or not, but my suggestion would be a (temporary) gantry, spanning from the trackside barrier to the infield.

Strap a few cameras onto it, some advertising or even a small viewing platform for the wealthy fans.

There was a mention earlier, that someone suggested painting the track green inside the bus stop.

 

[NotThePrez]

The Inception Ferrari came dangerously close to taking out Kobayashi.

With that, the #40 WTR Cadillac is in the lead. Seems the Caddys are gaining some speed with the sun coming down.
