Race us on!

Hey, Marco, it's a 12 hour race, try to stay on the racetrack.

It is terrific that the season has started. It isn't so terrific that we have to put up with the intermittent sound from the speed feed. Thank goodness for Hindhaugh Radio Services, who are (again) doing a far better job than any other facility that we have available to us. Switching to that feed is making things tolerable.
Another thing, if you must speak at all Mr Motors TV commentator, have a go at getting the facts right. I've lost count of the mistakes so far.

what happened to the Peugeot, seems its last only 1/3 of the race. I don't have Speed so only following off IMSA's scoring data. but they've been in the pits for a long time

that RISI team is just crazy good, seems Corvette #3 will win Sebring after #4 and the ASton both have problems.

Audi have the P1 all but wrapped up, but P2 is still wide open

Some sort of hydraulic issue for Peugeot. Usual kind of thing for a French machine. I'm just waiting for the day to come when a team of Peugeot mechanics goes on strike part way through a race.

this is looking like the race where the Porsce may just take the overall win from Audi.

4 cars on lead lap 2 Audi, 2 RS Spyders

Speed also has audio messed up on the Porsche #7, I think its audio from Audi's car

Problems for lead Audi. It's behind the wall with what looks to be pretty serious engine issues.

audio fixed :D never know the Porsche was that quiet, until they switched over

Yeah, never heard a Gas V8 make that noise before!

Turbo problems were the cause of the lead Audi losing laps in the awning.

at 8h. 33 minutes, its a Porsche 1-2-3 Overall with the Penske and the 2 Dysons, Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!

Audi and Peugeot both have problems and it looks like the RS Spyders are gonna score a huge win for their program

with 2 and a half hours to go,

the Dysons and the Adrian Fernandez Acura are having a great go for 2nd,3rd, and 4th.

What a dramatic race! Hard to believe it's been 20 years since a Porsche won Sebring overall.

I gotta make it a point to get back there next year.

I was really hoping that the Dyson was going to win it and steal it from the Penske boys

well done to Penske Porsche and all the Porsche Spyders, having 4 in the top 8 overall is quite excellent.

been a long time since Audi has not won overall at Sebring. awesome to see those LMP2 cars knock them off.

Peugeot looked very fast, but fell apart.

well done to Intersport on getting 3rd in P1.
