Just found the Alpine stream on you tube
Best camera angle so far

BOP seems to have really helped the BMW's. Based on qualifying, was not expecting them to be able to hang with Porsches and Fords. It's made GT-E all the more interesting.

Isaakyan is not having a great season indeed.

 

[Michelin Man]

Nope, #17 still stood still. Definitely a code brown moment coming into the Porsche curves...

Code brown

Doesn't look like any big impacts, not sure why that car can't get back to the pits.

 

[Dennisch]

There are cars going around sounding as if they are hitting 10k+ revs, I don't know what they are but they sound so awesome.

Also, error hour has begun.

 

[Michelin Man]

Looks like the bodywork may be lodged onto the rear wheels, rear wing looks a bit mangled, guess Isaakyan tried to make it somewhat drive-able, but it's being craned now.

 

[Cano]

What the heck was he trying to do there? Had something in his hands but couldnt make out what it was.

Think the rear bodywork is fouling the tyres and marshalls dont want him to drive it in case it dumps bodywork on the track.

Tool bag.

More likely it's the tool bag.

Probably the Porsches, they rev to 9000+ Rpm

 

[Cano]

#37 rallycrossing :/

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Yup, there's body damage on the SMP car Meanwhile, the Ford and Chevy duel is on!

 

[Silent Drifter]

About 40 seconds separate 2nd to 9th place in GTE Pro

Column I outlined in orange on the right side is best lap time.

Thanks! 👍

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Not worried, anything can happen in the next few hours to change that.

 

[[Nor]MclarenF1]

Looks like they're still trying to get the #17 car up and running

 

[Silent Drifter]

#17 off again

 

[Jezza819]

Well they had the #17 up in the air and now they've set it back down?

 

[Michelin Man]

Yea, the Ford V Chevy battle very much still alive, with being the #63 vs #67, good stuff.

On the subject of Ford still, aside from being one of the best looking cars in the daylight, they're one the most eye catching at night with the night-time lighting arrangement. Love the way the colour coded lights have been set-up around the rear-buttress of the car.

Agreed - they look like something out of Tron.

Now that I can agree with 👍

 

[[Nor]MclarenF1]

Aaand the crane is back. Looks like it's finally curtains for #17.

 

[MustangManiac]

Wish they would stay with that battle a bit longer, much more interesting than watching a car being lifted off the track.

 

[Jezza819]

I've seen them in person at Road Atlanta at night and they really look good.

 

[Downhill Dino]

So it looks like a puncture but not sure if the wheel itself is off or the bodywork just makes it look like that. Hmm.

 

[Silent Drifter]

If I heard right, the Toyota drivers are told to maintain the gap between each other regardless who is faster.

 

[Dennisch]

Buemi closed that gap to Kamui rather quick.
