IMSA 2025

Though I was there, I didn't pay much attention after we moved after the 2nd full course yellow in as many green flags thrown. I left before it was over, but I'm pretty sure there was a moment that affected the race results with ~75 minutes left. Trying not to spoil...

 

Just read a race report ...22 of 66 laps run were full course yellow. That flatters the time spent under yellow, which will be far more than 33% since yellow flag speeds are, of course, much slower. John Doonan, IMSA President, said in a brief interview during the race he hoped there was more racing than yellow flags. Now THAT is an ambitious goal! < disgusted sarcasm> Like the fans of long losing ball sport teams, IMSA fans will have to start wearing paper bags over their heads.
On Saturday, FCYs(is there any other kind for IMSA?) during the feature race made for a number of 'fans' napping as I was leaving Fireman's Hill. I laughed.

 

They have to adopt the WEC way of doing it.

Road America was always terrible for yellows though because of the size of the place. It takes forever to gather everyone back up.

 

i.e. VSC?

worth a shot IMO

 

local yellow
VSC
Safety car
Red flag

is there one I missed? slow zone at lemans... WEC all have that little screen....

 

I think all the IMSA cars have the same screen (or similar) for race control info

they do seem to have given up on local yellows for some reason

I thought they already had

 

Yikes! How much do you pay? That would take some getting used to....
Do they rent golf carts? Would the track be accomodate them?

 

You actually got in? I saw a thing where it’s sold out.

 

climb that hill in the infield a few times and the golf cart price will make sense....

 

Our golf cart wouldn't make it up that hill with 4 people. 2 had to bail

 

half the GTD field crashed in the esses on the first lap. d’oh

 

Red mist…..

 

one of the Ferraris (Conquest?) just ran wide at the bottom of the esses, spun and took out a bunch of other cars
