Car 73 had an incident. Don't know if he got going again or not...EDIT, apparently he did

As for the lmp1s: 3.25.2 now. The Audi is flying. Usually the camera kills the sense of speed, but with the Audi it comes right through.

Even if the 73 cant pass the Ferrari, there is always the 50 in GTE AM of Labre Competition.

We're on the same lap as the #51 Ferrari 458, but almost a full lap's time (4min) behind. He just pitted and they had the engine cover off, so we should pull close.

Reports show light rain at certain areas of the track!

Anybody have a full report, or video clip would be even better, of Magnussen's collision? I keep hearing the commentators talking about it but I missed the carnage.
I keep checking timing and scoring and it looks like Jan is still turning ~4 minute laps but he's impossibly far down.

The #74 has been retired from the race for SOME time now. I think it was around midnight EST or so.
