    ain't this fun? You can't predict driver error...

    Here's some notes: Ferrari with the other 3 laps of FCY did 26 laps on their stint...they've just come in again, AND the 50 has been through a 3rd time on his drive through. I don't think this is a full stint still.

    The other cars did 34 laps with the 8 laps of Safety car.

    I think in the 12 hrs tomorrow, there is only local yellow and FCY, which brings out the safety car. two levels of yellow.

    Euro GT monitors and has 3 levels, WEC/LeMans, F1....F2, probably....

    The experienced audience of WEC, how are we looking at the moment, please? Or is it too early to say something?

    every 27 laps is 10% of the race.

    not worried yet, anything can happen.

    There's really only been 1 pit stop, coming up on the second. Ferrari will shuffle back to the lead with green running.

    if any optimism, #50 and #51 are running Faster than all Hypers. of course much of that is playing catch up and clearer track.

    Interesting indeed. Sky Italy saying Ferrari don’t have concerns about fuel consumption so yeah, maybe short stint.

    In any case, too much thinking for me, LOL, to consider strategy for the full race. All I know is I wouldn’t need against Penske or Ganassi in terms of strategy.

    P.S. Peugeot… WT-?

    Glickenhaus only 1 lap down, but 3-5 seconds slower than field.

    Circuits in europe are billiard table smooth. the peugeot doesn't like the bumps.

    Jesus, weren't AF Corse supposed to be good? They have started this race with F1 level of clumsiness....

    I think at LeMans they call it virtual safety car. Just think of it sort of as having everyone go onto the pit lane speed limiter at the same time they are all running around at the same slow speed. They use it for smaller incidents. For the bigger ones they do deploy the safety car and the field packs up behind it.

    IMSA just does the local waived yellow flag and full course caution (safety car). Downside is some of the IMSA processes take forever.
