@speedingforfun totally right the p1 car was going into the corner too fast just so he could get along side the gt car but because of that he need all the track on exit and cut the gt car off
because the car is stuck in not a good spot. all the time? Sebring 2007 had two cautions over 12 hours and Mosport 2005 had zero. It is actually NASCAR that throws out cautions when a car simply spins to bunch up the field.
An off note Lola, have you seen that Prodrive moved up to LMP 1 for this year. What do you think of that and the new acura. (Acura's look like F1 cars in way)
@LolaJudd well.. i mean the tracks nascar usually race on, if a car spins it stays on the track, where it can be hit. If its bad enough they throw the caution to let the safety workers get to the car with out any chance of another car spinning and hitting them. If there is fluid on the track or debris they throw it for obvious reasons.
They dont typically throw cautions if a guy spins and keeps going. And they have area cautions all the time in their rod course races. you cant compare the two
IMSA CAN be a little too cautious sometimes, but only an idiot wouldn't go full-course yellow considering where that car was.
Remember, cars don't necessarily have to SLOW DOWN for a local yellow, they only need to be alert and not overtake. They can still proceed at speed - which depending on the position of the car my be dangerous to the marshals and/or recovery crew.
You want bad calls when it comes to full-course yellows? Watch an IndyCar road race.
if u ask me, the p1 made a risky pass, not the gt's fault- hes just drivin his line

Full course caution!
Why cant they just throw a yellow flag at that corner?
Thats the reason I cant watch these races live its so dull watchin them trawlin around behind the safety car all the time.
They seem to do it every race about four times
