Were #10's front wheels over the midline of #5 (or easier to see, #5's door?) No. If it were, #10 wouldn't have spun. Muller's overtake on Calado was harsh, but legal. Taylor's lunge was a brainfart that was refdriven because burgers in burger land in a NASCAR championship with a NASCAR retired driver

>>73948163
That car is clearly whute, Straya.

>when 10 was already inside his quarterpanel
Which doesn't qualify as a pass, therefore the #5 still held the position. Not to mention that there wasn't any space down the inside

>>73948100
>>tfw no SVG in a McLaren

After watching the quali's here, that had me worried that the AMG was junk, but SVG and Jager were both able to move that thing up front, so I think they'll stand a chance in it at Bathurst.

We'll see.

If he would have just dealt with the outside line he overbraked into, then he would have had position for the next turn and could have avoided the pass.
Taylor was already threshold braking trying not to door check him

>>73948182

How can you get your wheels up to their door when they simply turn into you the way 5 did?

You can't.

You can see that 10 even tried to check up, but couldn't because 5 turned right into him to block.

It was just a racing incident, and the refs made the right call.

The #10 shouldn't have attempted a pass from that far back in the first place, this is common sense in road racing. Taylor just divebombed the #5 hoping it would work out somehow
>>
>>73948257

This clearly demonstrates that he had room to warrant the pass, and that 5 simply drove into him because he knew he fucked up.

Good call, refs.

That's what the guy behind has to do and totally his own problem. If you do this kind of shit regularly in IMSA, you're no better than touring-car ping-pong racing.
The guy behind is always at fault if the guy in front crashes because of his manouver.

Also why that extra pit stop? I thought this layout was supposed to be much more easier on the tires.

BoP. Balance of Performance. IMSA tries to nerf the better cars to make them get similar lap times, basically. So it doesn't matter how good Porsche engineers are if they get nerfed for making the car too good.
>>
>>73949278

Not like the extra pit stop matters anyway, with constant FCY courtesy of PC cars going in the wall at least once every 30 minutes.

>I thought this layout was supposed to be much more easier on the tires.
It potentially can be. However they have to learn how to setup the car for that and manage the tires that way. They have decades of RR experience but they should be able to learn more at Sebring and be up to snuff for the rest of the season, they're almost there already.
>>
>>73949272
Did they even give out penalties for contact in this race?
>>
>>73949448
Only penalties I remember are from not wearing the right socks and other pit infractions

ACO/FIA should let the DPi race in the non-hybrid LMP1 class. like the old Rebellion/ByKolles teams. but they probably don't want an IMSA team having a chance of winning overall at Le Mans.

and IMSA should use the old open cockpit Zytek/Gibson LMP2 chassis to upgrade the PC class. give them the "old" LMP2 stuff.

They're on par with LMP2 Global are they not?

It's just the camera flipping out and going into day mode so everything looks dark as fuck instead of bright as fuck, there's nothing to see on any other camera.

yeah but they have to get nerfed to run in ACO LMP2 spec. instead of getting detuned they could run in full IMSA spec in the Non-H LMP1 class. Like Cadillac/Mazda should be able to enter with their engines if they want to.
but with Toyota and Porsche entering 6 cars max there's a chance with reliability issues or crashing out that an LMP2 car could legitimately win Le Mans overall.
>>73950685
yeah that was sort of a let down at the end. you know IMSA wanted WTR to win it was too good of a media story after finishing second so many times, sneak, and Angelelli retiring. rigged for Cadillac.

this.
it felt like the same shit we got with the old DP. prototypes are still the worst class in IMSA racing. it's really all about the GTs. IMSA/Weathertech would be better off getting rid of prototypes and being a GT series.

How based are sports cars?

Someone please fund a v8sc series here in america.

I never liked the roadcourse layout that much. international horseshoe is the only "significant corner". the top speed for the banking will always be more important than the corners in the road course section. The only difficult corners are getting off the banking for Turn 1 and the chicane on the backstretch. If it wasn't for the rain during the night the layout is almost too easy for sportscars.
>>
>>73949048
Pretty good. It looked like a brute in the horseshoe, but it was so huge and had trouble actually passing despite being right on another car's ass all the time.

It looked like it was twice the volume as the Ford GTs it was sticking on.
>>
>>73951518
i've never been more disappointed in my life this is even worse than my son telling me he's straight
>>
>>73952321
>he thinks braking from 200mph off the banking into a multiple radius off camber low speed corner is easy
>>
It's kinda weird that IMSA schedules their only 24H race blue-ribbon main endurance event so early in the calendar year. Their first race is the biggest. there's no warm-up races. then Sebring 12H.

There is a chicane, too.

I'm a fan of it. Going from 200mph down to the corners is both technically difficult, and so hard on the brakes.
I'd just wish the horseshoe part was wider with more passing opportunities there.
The problem isn't so much how straight-heavy it is, so much as that the cars that are actually good in the tighter portion get blocked from passing so easily.

>>73952467
It is weird.
So many new cars that weren't really ready for it.
But I wouldn't do Sebring 12H first either. That course is so rough, it's almost as hard if not as hard as 24 at Daytona.

They should start with Bathurst.
>>
>>73952562
Sebring is way harder mechanically in every regard but extended top end revs and the vertical force of the banking. Way hotter, far more acceleration and deceleration, way harder cornering because it's a high downforce track without bricks for tires.

You know Gordon wouldn't have gone for that overtake move like the Taylor brothers. that's why they didn't put him in for the last stint.

>putting in your slowest driver when you're battling for the win
Yeah okay

get rid of DPi. IMSA should copy ELMS and use regular LMP2 cars as their top class mixed with GTs.
this way everyone could race at Le Mans without needing any crazy special regulations.

>draft is worth 3-4mph

Looks legit.

Everyone knows Risi Competizione drove the hardest and deserve to win.

Even with the uphill battle against rigged IMSA BoP they still finished 3rd. IMSA even nerfed their fueling rig so it took the longest to refuel out of all the top teams and still got 3rd. Ford GM Amerishit got lucky. everyone knows who the better team is.

Why are you so much more okay with the same 4 cars but with NASCAR branding and performance balancing horseshit so that every car that isn't a Cadillac can be irrelevant and get zero TV time.

>yeah dude fuck those French I'm going to hump this class that's the same thing but with even more bullshit
