Just did another tour of the hot pits. Got to see a pit stop and driver change this time. Also saw them pulling the 7 car off track, sad.
Amazing how much is going on back there. Also saw Penske as well up on his perch. We were told in no uncertain terms, stay the F away from him. Lol.

Damn....Porsche is not having a good race. Guess only really making "reliability" upgrades to the new R didn't quite pan out like they thought, seems like a huge miss for them.

Not good at all. 65 minutes to go. Porsche really needs to up their game a bit for the next one(s). Almost like this was more a learning experience for them than a race. Hope they learned lots.

Porsche sucked in GTP and GTD. At least the LMP2 battle was interesting.

How? Didn't they remark during the development of the new R, they didn't change power etc. It was really just reliability upgrades?

Don’t quote me on this, but I think I remember hearing they had to run a 32mm restrictor vs 38mm last year, or something along those lines.

Obviously it was BoP as the cars were 2 plus seconds a lap slower than the competition....

yes. They will make adjustment from Sebring on wards. I haven't seen the sector times but looks like they were slow everywhere
