Toyotas also got separated.

Safety cars - as they are being used are destroying the race.

The effectiveness of the 'slow zones' to my mind eliminate the need for a Safety Car for a incident that is one sector only. If there are more than one incident in different sectors then the Safety Cars are indicated.

First time I have heard announcers say 'X is a Safety Car ahead of Y'.

I don't watch endurance racing as much as some of ya. But I noticed this. They're fueling the cars at the same time that they're changing tires or whatever. When did that change? They used to fuel the cars and then when they were done, they'd do everything else.

If anyone needs an online stream there is one here.

Great link - Video Stream #1 No commercials

At the 13 hour mark it appears that Video Stream #1 and #2 have swapped. VS #1 now has commercials.

ACO made that change for the 2018/19 season. I think that they'll go back to the split refueling and tire changes for the 19/20 season.

IMSA have been doing this since 2014.

P1 cars running 30 or so minutes between refueling stops are working the crews to death.

Finish is going to be close.
