Good save KK! I saw you went for the inside grassy line on T4 in Race2!

What happened to your car? Punctured radiator too? (That's how my race ended with 9mins to go up to P4....:^( )

I pulled off there to get off the racing line and out of the way. Broke my radiator on car in front when field checked up before the green. Bummer! Here it is:

Bummer, my race 2 ended the same way after a good run. An undecisive backmarker going down the esses pulled off the throttle too much, I managed to anticipate but not MArk Bullit following closely behind and ping-ponged me into the backmarker ending my race having to stop on the grass outside T5 to avoid ruinning the track surface.

They should let us run the protector bars just like the ALMS GTC cars, but they worry it will end up in a (bigger?) demolition derby....

Looked like a pretty innocent (and light) tap, it really is amazing how vulnerable those front radiators are...

Nice save on the mowing....

Really light tap, too bad.

Did you guys see Duncan Ende's run down the T11-12 hill when the grass came to him a bit closer than he thought? Wonder how he got back on the track, unlike when Carlos did it and drove down the outside track pit lane.
