Last few laps of the Blancpain race at Sonoma...

Here's my in-car from a couple weekends ago. There's 2 restarts and 4-ish green flag laps. The BMW on the first restart was a lapped car and I'm not sure what was going through his head, but obviously not very much. Still surprised the car finished the race after the heavy hit on the left front.... the Acura GT3 is a pretty stout race car. The last lap pass on the white Porsche was for P2 in class -- James got around me on the first restart and had already checked out for the win.

Nice laps! Shame about the layout. If Nascar can run the normal layout, hopefully other series can follow suit going forward.

Thanks! The normal/full layout is more fun to drive, but the layout SRO used is the best for racing -- especially multi-class because of the additional good passing zone (IndyCar chicane). I personally find the long Turn 7 pretty lame and think it'd be a little better with the normal Turn 7 but it's ok.
