We've finally settled in for a good, long chunk of race watching in the Speedgeek household, after what I call a period of "interacting with family members" and "not monopolizing the TV". The early hours, while not without incident or reliability issues, have actually been relatively quiet, at least in my opinion. One two of the GTP cars (the #25 BMW and the #7 Porsche) have hit issues bad enough to drop them multiple laps down, and of the other seven GTP cars, all but one are still on the lead lap. The LMP2s largely lurk about 10 laps behind the GTPs, with only the #8 Tower car (an issue with a leaking drinks bottle shorting out some electronics) and the #11 TDS car (out due to crash damage) the only ones not running effectively line astern behind the leading seven GTPs.
In the GTD classes, it's still basically anybody's game, although the Mercedes and the Aston Martins have looked to be the most consistently quick. Meanwhile I've got a flavorful beverage (a Deschutes Black Butte Imperial Porter) and a comfy chair. Does it get much better than this on a Saturday night in January?
