3-rotors sitting 6th, 7th, and 12th after four hours of racing. Racing line is completely dry now.

I'm hoping to see the 8s do better as the night goes on. But those Camaros are creeping in fast. 5,6,9, and 11 they are now.

Nice in-car with the 40, about to go another lap down though.

Sylvain Tremblay is saying they've been waiting for the night to come, much as I have hoped. I think overnight we are going to see a lot of change in those silly pistons.

well looks like i got something to look forward to when i get up now. i find it funny how all those teams hire drivers just for this one race and you never see them again till next year or another big race during the season.

Yeah, the "gentlemen drivers" are lame and typically the cause of a couple cautions. Teams, like Racers Group, rely on them for the wheelbarrow of cash they bring, all they want is a stab at a Rolex and bragging rights at cocktail parties.

And we're back on...

SpeedSource #70 takes over the lead as #71 Porsche pits for a broken shock!

No streaming that I'm aware of, just a couple pit cams online.

Hahahahah!!

They just did a thing on the rotary and said the race version wasn't that much more then the race version. LOL...just add another rotor, its easy and cheap!!! And never mind that the ports are completely different.


But 50 hours of life on one build sounds pretty good.

no surprised. just saddened by people's lack of knowledge about something they obviously care enough about to watch for a whole day, but dont care to read into cars or regulations and all that good stuff.
