Track seems to be extremely bumpy - Doesn't look like a lot of fun

I’m here - I raced the HSR Support race and now I’m just watching. Track is hot and greasy.

Great watching in-car feed. Tandy was pulling off some ballsy passes to keep the BMW from closing the gap. Great race.

I was watching the in-car too. What an amazing job Tandy did of getting by traffic without forcing his way through and still leaving room to let the faster prototypes past despite the pressure from the BMW. A real class act.

Major congrats! Brian Sellers, Corey Lewis and the team did a great job in the most competitive class in the field. More folks on the lead lap than in any other.

Great stuff. All three wining teams did terrific, and Joest is coming. Surprised by the engine woes of Penske.

Porsche again seemed to brake better and carry good corner exit speed. But the Ferrari looked better mid-corner espcailly at17 and 1. Any thoughts?

Shock package and differing platform resonant frequencies.

I watched from turn 3 for a short while and one thing that stood out to me was that the RSR drivers got back to power so quickly after turn in. It was a noticeable difference from most of the rest of the field.

I was watching the #24 bmw in car feed for a while and was surprised how little throttle they used between apex of 3 and apex of 5

Ha
I thought the RSR really performed well. I jumped from feed to feed with the Porsche 911 and BMW being my preferred.
Great appreciation for the nighttime driving skills.
