We just got home for the evening and we parked in the PCA Coral. Great time as usual, even with temps about 15 below the average (55) and a chill with the wind. Rain is expected tomorrow so we will stay home and watch it here.

~11 hours to go in GTLM, Porsche RSR cars are in 1st and 2nd, positions changing with pitting - in GTD the GT3s look like they are well out of contention.

Pilet isn't too good in the rain - may impact on the outcome if it stays wet

8:50 to go car 912 second, car 911 going backwards in 6th (in the wet)

GTD - car 540, 9th

conditions dreadful - the team with the best wet weather drivers will win bar accidents = lottery

Michelin brought over 12,000 tires this year! Each has an RF Chip for tracking them, pretty darn cool. Race is about to restart soon.

Damn rain, 4th and 5th position at red flag sucks. Not looking good for a restart.

Best positions 3rd in GTLM and 7th in GTD

In the dry the RSR was going well and for significant periods held P1 and P2. The GT3 R in GTD always looked outgunned.

Oh well, I like BMW too, that’s racing. Better luck at Sebring, yes the RSR was strong I had hopes of a class win.

From the BMW cockpit. It's a great video. Still looking for views from one of the Porsche entries.
