55 got a little racy a little too early in the race.

Tincknell took blame but said Castroneves was moving left and right in the braking zone prior to that. Having watched Castroneves for years in Indy Car, that is so Helio. His reputation as a blocker was second to no one.

Dozens of cars spinning out in the pitout over the years.

Courage is knowing it'll hurt, and doing it anyway. Stupidity is the same. And that's why life is hard.

carbuzz.com/features/battle-of-the-v8s-flat-plane-vs-cross-plane

In a nutshell, flat plane higher revving, lighter and smaller, more vibration. Multiplane more torque, heavier, bigger, less vibration.

Courage is knowing it'll hurt, and doing it anyway. Stupidity is the same. And that's why life is hard.

Lamy walled it on the rev limiter, before reaching the end of the limiter area.

Then their raw speed put them up front again. Looks like they're the car to beat today.

All in all, 40 seconds after 24 hours of mostly Green Flag record paced race is damn close.
