Now would be a good time to put Olivier Beretta in the 71 car for all the ferrari fans
Clutch Pitstops for the GT field. |

#2 Audi pitted--shows that Dindo has been replaced with Tom.
I guess that it makes no real difference if the #2 or #3 wins--winner will collect max. manufacturers' points and the #2 Audi if it finishes first among full season WEC entries will get full driver points (?) As long as Audi hold station, it'll be mission accomplished for them. Pescarolo benefits from the rounds of retirements and lengthy stops and is now up to 5th in LMP1 and overall. |

Nobody should "let" anybody else win, let them fight it out, they are drivers let them drive - i hate team rules
#3 just screwed themselves on purpose |

Very impressive job by Miller, now they're the leading ALMS GT Porsche, 7th GTE overall.
ALMS even offer onboard live for #48 with Maassen onboard, hope this'is going to be the first time they earn manu points for Porsche in ALMS. http://www.alms.com/camera/paul-miller-racing-48 |

Now Kristensen shown as the leader--Duval pit or is it team orders for the #2 to get out front or get them back on cycle with stops?

And does anyone know if Pescarolo will score points at Le Mans with the Dome car if by some miracle it finishes? |

Top two GTC's get together. Hopefully no caution.

12 hours of Sebring more like 8 hours of Sebring and 4hours of safety cars. Whatever happened to the good old waved yellow flag, remove vehicle to place of safety and continue racing.
Rant over |

I think that Audi have told Andre to just drive flat out--he broke in to the 1:46 range a couple of laps ago.

Team orders or not, TK is running with it with a 1:48.
I think that Audi put him in because of his speed during the night session. JRM has returned to the track, barely a lap ahead of Lotterer. |

TK leads Duval by 49 seconds with less that two hours to do, and Lotterer has passed Chandhok
Update: Is JRM back off--they've lost another position to a Porsche GT car, or are they still having issues? |

Brilliant battle in GT; some beautiful night shots. Apparently, LMP2 does not exist for the race director.
If there was such a thing as in race betting, would anyone have a shot for the 458 with Berretta at the wheel for the close? |

They have kept Sarrazin for the last stint. So they have a good shot at the LMP2 victory. Personally I hope they beat Level 5, because I don't like where Tucker is getting his money from.

Me neither, sadly that seems to have already been forgotten by most people and never picked up by motorsport journalists to begin with.

Have the cautions really even been that bad? The racing riht now easily makes up for those moments. I am thrilled about this race.
ON a side note: Does anyone have an idea what the track temp is right now? |

Does anyone think the WECs website stream will be available to the US for the remainder of the schedule, just not Sebring (because of the ALMS/ESPN3 contract)?

Kristensen now leads Duval by 1:04.
I don't know if the WEC stream will be available to NA, but it's not connected to the ALMS/ESPN deal outside of Sebring. |
