Great race, with the exception of the last penalty...

If you haven't seen the finish, I won't spoil it. If you have, you know what I'm talking about.

Total bs call IMO. This is big boy racing, not indoor karting. We want to see clean hard racing and that was it. No contact no foul

It was a BS call. Especially at a NECKCAR owned event.

Some bad decisions near the end, and they are getting dumped on in Facebook for them, but otherwise great to see Porsche in GTLM.

Ofiicials should be ashamed of themselves for that last call. I still don't see why they needed that last FCY, as Leh was able to carry on. Did I miss something?

I've got two words to explain it.....France Family. These people have turned NASCAR into contrived entertainment and they are going to do the same to sports car racing. They do their best to manipulate outcomes to have story book endings and unless the tv broadcast missed something, I saw no reason for the last caution other than to give the Taylor's a chance to win. Wouldn't that have been the feel good ending? As far as the call with the Ferrari/Audi battle, complete BS. I was rooting for the Lizards but Ferrari got shafted.

Yes seemed very bogus, especially after viewing the repeated replays!

As much as I am all for safe, fair racing and avoiding contact, I agree with all the above.

Clearly we see that Grand Am brought the Marshalls. Thoughts of great rubbing finishes at Petit and Sebring are what Ioved in alms. Let them race. That call was no good.

Hope IMSA Marshalls scrut Sebring.

Perplexing call to say the least. Need to institute "The Replay".

The 35kg weight penalty to all the P-cars in GTD effectively shut the door on any chance for a win. I'm surprised we even got a podium.
