Are they gonna take a break for sleep and then restart in the a.m. like they did here, or are they gonna go continuously through the night? this is a recording. i think they went through the night. usually the dubai 24h is 2 weeks before daytona but they had to move it to the same weekend (thanks houthis). so some big name drivers that would have been there weren't. still, not a bad thing to watch on one of the deadest sports weekends of the year.

March 16, 20241 yr First twenty minutes and already a lot of issues. A GTD McLaren in the garage, a spinning Ferrari miraculously missed collecting half the GT field, several punctures in the prototypes, all sorts of stuff
March 16, 20241 yr Author i'm not sure an F1 car could get around this track. 17 feet of suspension travel on a lap.
March 16, 20241 yr Author tower LMP2 hard into the tires at the tower corner after getting a bit of a nudge from a GT3 and catching some dirt in the braking area gave us our 2nd yellow
March 16, 20241 yr Perfect time for a commercial. Come back and the race leading car - up 12s and now he's upside down in the wall.
March 16, 20241 yr 28 minutes ago, Bevo&Pevo said: #6 Porsche self crashes due to left rear flat while leading. Karma is served. Why, what did he do? Haven't been watching the whole time.
March 16, 20241 yr ^^ He bumped/sideswiped a GTD car that had position (IMO) causing it to wreck. It is probably out there somewhere as a highlight.
March 17, 20241 yr Author 17 run down to 1 was intense there between the cadillac and the acura 7:27 left and they're practically alongside at the front

March 17, 20241 yr That video also confirms what I thought about Derani's Whelen Cadillac crash. He just didn't give the Ferrari any room & had plenty on his left as he made what should be a very easy pass on a much slower car. Such a needless crash, esp from the lead. That's the most common mistake I see from prototype drivers passing sportscars. So stupid & careless. Didn't help the other guy's race any, either. Some of those guys drive like the slower cars just cease to exist once they catch 'em, or like the other classes don't have a right to any room on the track.
March 17, 20241 yr 15 minutes ago, Bevo&Pevo said: ^^ 99 percent it was Jaminet. It was Mackowiecki. He was also in the car when the left rear went down (same corner he hit Legge with). Was that right after he tried to kill Legge or was it later? BTW that Gradient car Legge was in is from Austin (Round Rock)
March 18, 20241 yr Looking at the IMSA upcoming events, there is an entry for COTA during April 2024. Looking at the COTA website, they show the "Ferrari Challenge" for that weekend. So....wtf is the Ferrari Challenge? Is this something they've done before?
March 18, 20241 yr The Ferrari Challenge has been around since the 90s. All Ferrari race, not the prototypes or anything, just actual Ferraris. Lots of owner-drivers, etc. was originally created to give Ferrari owners a chance to race their cars. Lamborghini and Porsche have their own similar series. They all fall under the IMSA banner.
March 23, 20241 yr Author Vettel set to start testing with Porsche Penske. Seems like a pretty serious plan and maybe we'll see him in WEC or the big IMSA enduros sometime soon Wapost gift article: https://wapo.st/4aisBIE Edited March 23, 20241 yr by elfenix
