It was pretty alive earlier this morning, but the ESM car is poised to win unless something happens.

Effective 1 and 2 in GTLM are less than a second apart with 45 minutes remaining and have completed their last pits so, not too bad.

It's funny that this is one of the few finish photos where teammates were together but not staged at a slower speed.

Oh cool quotes eliminate spoilers.

Max Angelelli is conscious and alert at the hospital they took him to, looks like he inhaled a ton of fumes in the cockpit. Was pretty scary watching the medics show up at his car right after the finish.

I watched most of the overnight yesterday because time zone differences and lazy Sundays are a good mix, the midnight GTLM train was loving fantastic. Loved the midnight crew after the 100 BMW wrecked and Hindy was saying "I swear there used to be a tire barrier there between 1/2" and the camera starts bobbing up and down, Rooftop Ray confirming that Hindaugh doesn't have THAT poor a memory! Also the battles for lead in P was great too - I saw the moment when Fittipaldi in the 5 just ran out of tires, and the 2 and 10 went by.

Heroic work by Jordan Taylor too, to come from feeling sick as a dog to a car that was trying to kill it's drivers is impressive.

Good start to big-league racing for the year.

There's a picture of miscaptioned as being the Ford GT but is actually the SMP Racing Ferrari there.

It's the one before the pic of the timing tower.

The Ferraris didn't do too bad. I think they used all their crash tokens during qualifying, which was pretty epic in how they were able to hit walls and skid off.

Part of me thinks that there could be lasting affects from this. But I doubt they'd ever tell the public that.
