There must have been no more than 20 cm between the 6 and the 10 on the straight.

And as soon as the tires are warm enough, Nasr makes a move for the lead.

Connor de Philippi, maybe? I could see him fitting in with Mike Shank. Source: Indianapolis Saturday Notebook – Sportscar365

***Sportscar365 understands there will be at least one change in Team RLL’s driver lineup next year, with one of its existing drivers poised to join Meyer Shank Racing’s Acura ARX-06 operation. Driver announcements from the Ohio-based team are not expected to be made until after the completion of the season.

de Philippi has been the memiest of the meme BMW drivers, I am not sure why another GTP outfit would want him.

de Phillippi made a mistake at turn three, Grosjean into the top three. Look out everybody else...

He made a great move around the outside of Bourdais. Not that Hindhaugh was watching...

They were reading out tweets as the grid was in position seconds from starting... its so fustrating.

And Pipo spins.
Edit: Not a spin. Engine just suddenly cut out on its own.

That's been a trend for the last 15 years with Hindaugh. But people love him apparently

Endurance Info's post Fuji WEC podcast said what we all thought in the FIA WEC thread:
Lambo's program is in serious danger.
From the S365 notebook on Friday:
Quote
***Lamborghini Iron Lynx has altered its testing schedule, with the Italian squad having canceled its scheduled run at Road Atlanta according to Matteo Cairoli.
***Cairoli told Sportscar365: “We were supposed to go testing next week in Atlanta but it has been canceled. First of all I couldn’t come because I had a clash in Mugello [for] ELMS. Anyhow it was not possible. But we have some other days before the end of the year that I’m very much looking forward to.”
There has clearly been a budget shortfall.
