I hear you, but at least IMSA is mostly on a "basic" cable channel with Fox Sports 1. I had to resort to a 7-day trial for Velocity. That's hardly a sustainable plan IMHO.
Hmmm, I thought I had the basic Xfinity package but I have Starz so maybe not. Still better than nothing at all.
 
That shot in the pits is the first time I've see an Aston Martin this whole race. I did just come back after a break though. But still.
 
Love how the #11 is standing in the pits for 2 hours now, but they keep trying to fix the car. That is the spirit of Le Mans!
do you know what happened to it? i cant find any info about it. It would be a shame for Button not to drive during the race at his first Le Mans

Sounds like it was a sensor problem deep inside the engine which has been causing the car to lose power, there was a driver in the car when it was on camera recently so I presume they're nearly ready to go out.

Manor has spun into the wall warming tyres behind the safety car.
 
Anything interesting happened? I got sidetracked by the Forza stream.

Well it's been fairly stable until recently, where there's been a safety car deployed (3 in this case), after an explosive de-lamination of the tyre for the #38 Jackie Chan DC racing machine, leaving a lot of debris on the circuit near the 1st Mulsanne chicane.

Thanks!
 
The #92 has gained massively after that safety car stint. Pitting beforehand has helped it massively, got a miniute plus lead over the rest in Pro now.
 
LMP1-Hy is a lap ahead of non-hybrids. One of the Jackie Chan racing P2s just had a massive puncture causing a safety car

Going to the beach for about an hour. Will need updates when I get back.

:boggled:
 
Bugger, #66 with a puncture/suspension damage. When wide at the Ford chicane (ironic I guess) and has either broken something or broke already.
 
#66 with problem. The Aston Martin plan of going slower than everybody else and gaining positions when other cars have problems appears to be working. :banghead:

#11 is on track and JB is driving.
 
#4 Bykolles off big time, big accident. Safety cars deployed. Porsche curves as well, contact with a Porsche as well, Am car by the looks.
