I’m glad Nique Clifford will probably get starter’s reps early. Hopefully he can establish himself and someone else can get bumped from the lineup when Murray gets back.

Otherwise, sucks! Murray and Clifford are the only reasons for hope under long term team control on the roster.

Well this sucks immensely bad

The craziest part of this is the idea that Luffy wears “a red straw hat” but don’t sleep on him referring to Gear 5, effectively a 1930s cartoon, as “a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation”

Jesus was known for going around and punching whomever was doing the most oppression

After 10 hours, me and @fredsmith.bsky.social are still smiling. Petit Le Mans is always a fun race to cap off the IMSA season. Next up, F1 in Mexico.

Now this is how you do a fuel strategy

I don't know if the Savannah Bananas are private equity owned but they have private equity vibes. Same goes for pickleball and Dubai chocolate.

Not any more though. Now we're back on the Valkyrie.

For about 14 glorious minutes, I believed in SC 63

Go time my man

SC 63 Watch has been upgraded to SC 63 Warning

The Lamborghini has (a very small amount) more fuel than the leaders and is ahead of the top car that made a splash on track btw

Ford is running the Lead With 50 Minutes To Go strategy instead of the Lead With 0 Minutes To Go strategy, a classic folly

Aston Martin THOR apparently disagrees

Terrible photo but here is the 24, down two kidneys. The 25 has both.

.337?

If I’m in the Valkyrie, I’m running a one stop strategy from here assuming a last hour safety car. If it fails, you splash and lose spots. If it succeeds, you can win the race. Not like the points matter to them.

“Kirk Cousins and Russell Wilson are available” yeah man we know

Romain Grosjean pick it up the pride of SC 63 is at stake

A bunch of top GTPs have a tail light out. I won’t tell IMSA, nobody else tell them either.

Both kidney grille lights are out on one of the BMWs. One more time for the road… 🫡

Every person on this broadcast team says Romain a different way

A Van has spun another Van I repeat a Van has spun another Van

Dries Vanthoor, Kelvin van der Linde, and Ricky Taylor. And the car is of course a Vanwall.

They’re multiplying

This tech work ethic garbage is so much funnier now that people more widely understand that “founder” usually means someone trying and failing to turn seed money thrown blindly at anyone into a third tier workflow software platform

I would like to apologize as there are actually six VANs. Three Vanthoors including two Laurenses, Renger van der Zande, Tijmen van der Helm, and Sheldon van der Linde.

Good work, VAN!

With Laurens Vanthoor now in both Penske 963s, five of the 12 GTP cars in this race have a driver who appears as "VAN" on abbreviated timing and scoring.
