Lol Alonso just went off at T3 exit, drove counter-course on the grass back to the apex so he could rejoin safely, probably has some good scratches on the floor after that one.

Lol that race was such a cluster gently caress.

I'm so loving glad they split PC off. Two laps, caution. Spin under caution. Destroy barrier. Green. Two laps, caution.

ask her why it seems like Joest teams give their cars old-timey prostitute names, like Juicy Lucy. why not call them something really sweet, like Deathmobile or USS Kick Your rear end

or at least Fireproof Felicia

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.

#55 was fastest at the night practice as well, so we can definitely confirm that the Mazdas are still fast AND flammable

WEC? Will be streaming via their app, which will be viewable in the US for this race. I’m not sure who they’re partnering with to show the race on TV at all, but get the app/find a stream.

IMSA that’s all in the OP, NBCSN and IMSA Radio (IMSA TV if you’re outside the broadcast realm).

WEC is on Velocity.

Also holy poo poo those Toyotas out of T7 are just insane. The rest of the P1s aren't slouches either, but the Toyotas are just in another league. Super grateful to have seen them in person.

The only thing that’s in the same ballpark is the I.D. R. It’s bonkers how fast the TS050 gathers speed. And so quietly, too.

Out of 10 it's the same. It just...goes. Like it brakes seemingly only because it has to, then it just disappears.

So happy to see them here, and I just wish Porsche was still doing it.

But either way I get to be drunk and screaming on a hill, so I'm good.

The Porsche 919 Tribute version doesn’t drive so much as bend space-time to its will. The Nurburgring video from last year is hard to compute.

Toyota has committed to the 2019-20 season so we have at least one more year of these machines in person, thankfully.

***Track limits will no longer be enforced this weekend. Race director Eduardo Freitas initially policed Turn 15 in last weekend’s test sessions, although it was communicated to teams during the drivers’ meeting that no track restrictions will be in place.

Funny how when track limits police themselves due to track design, you don't need to police track limits. :thunk:
