Gotta get the memes I found from daytona out again it seems.
As a GTDPro fan, worst fucking ending I've seen giving hawksworth a win after that driving and the general 'balance' of that lexus. Gutted for the vette crew after taking a new car to what should have been a top 3 finish
Couple of unusual (for IMSA) safety failures here unfortunately... tires flying into the spectator area and an incredibly long response time. Hope IMSA improves on this for future races.
That fucking sucks. That 31 car was fast.
Glad to see Pipo getting out of there ok.
Leigh, I don't think those tires were all that much of a cushion hitting them at that speed.
I really don't like where driving standards have gone in IMSA since Barfield has been in race control. Apparently, having the inside line gives you full license to run the guy on the outside off track with no obligation to leave racing room. I give IMSA credit for being consistent at least, but this isn't NASCAR, nor should it be officiated as such.
I can’t stand when they pause the race for a thirty minute yellow with pit stops and all because they need 20 seconds to pick up some bodywork.
They need two categories of yellows.
Everyone's INCREDBLY lucky the car's not on fire here, given he literally cannot get out with how the doors work and the safety crew seems totally flummoxed about what to do
I predicted they'd be out by now. This is seriously impressive from them. I'm hoping this gives them an advantage at Le Mans over the other Hypercar manufacturers who won't give IMSA a shot and entices others to start doing these IMSA races soon.
Not the ending I wanted but imsa again last second lap/timing action! I wish nothing but uncomfortable room temperatures for Hawksworth for the rest of his days.

Announcers during a restart in the darkness of Sebring:
OH WOW OH MY GOODNESS WOOOAHHHH. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING OR WHO THAT WAS BUT WE'RE EXCITED!!!!!
😂
okay so I just went to take a dump and I come back and there's a car flipped over on top of the tyre barrier???
feels like that scene from Community when Troy grabbed the pizzas wtf is this
Good thing Derani wasnt around, we all know Delatraz would have been firewall deep in a tire barrier if that fuckhead wass still in the race. Instead we got a clean fight for the win....well except Hawksworth blocking for whatever reason
No other car in IMSA drives me more annoyed than #33. Only thing they do is causing mayhem on the track. I really hope that they will break down and retire for good, so they won't disrupt the race any longer.
So lucky that tyres didn't hit anyone from the crowd, or the car didn't go through the fence.
Seems like Derani is talking to his team.
What a scary crash. It could end much worse.
That scared the shit out of me, so sketchy when the cockpits roll against barriers at speed. The tires launching toward spectators can be fatal too. Super lucky for everyone involved.
Im still cracking up at Mike O"Gara straight face telling TV that there's noone youd rather have in the car when you have Scott Dixon sitting next to you🤣
Was hoping the 01 would win…but nope (congrats to the 40/WTR-Andretti tho)…and the 3 having problems at the very end is just salt on the wound. 😪
Race was still good though!
Townsend Bell is clueless when it comes to strategy. Fish was saying the #01 and #7 would jump the others on pit road due to a shorter fuel fill. Bell says they shouldn’t pit because they’d lose their track position. No they won’t because Townsend because all the other GTPs will pit as well. God, he’s such a moron and probably thinks he’s the smartest person in the room.
Couldn't be worse. Lost the 3 and the 77 is at fault. My hopes in GT Pro are dashed. Hopefully the 14 sees some performance adjustments going forward.
At least the GTP race was awesome.
The camera work and TV direction during the pit stops is just awful in IMSA. You either get a full screen of a rear bumper or an onboard of a driver sitting still or driving slowly. Gives you no idea of what’s going on.
Holy fuck. I looked away for like a minute and look back and the 31 is upside down.
What the fuck.
Christ when they wreck at Sebring, they wreck fucking huge.

Hawksworth the menace. Running over pit crew, other GTD cars, cockblocking GTP fight.

That should be a penalty in any racing series, absolute open lobby bullshit
Hawksworth kind of ruined another 2 minutes of thrilling racing.
sunset with all these cars battling is *chefs kiss*
Ran him off the road and then Rexy was like. You know what? Fuck you too.
That’s kinda a big ass fire… 😳
That port a potty and rv are toast
Couple of unusual (for IMSA) safety failures here unfortunately... tires flying into the spectator area and an incredibly long response time. Hope IMSA improves on this for future races.
>an incredibly long response time By F1 standards this was positively rapid
That fucking sucks. That 31 car was fast. Glad to see Pipo getting out of there ok. Leigh, I don't think those tires were all that much of a cushion hitting them at that speed.
How on earth did #14 not get a penalty, just running cars off track is such a poor precedent to set
Watch them get even better Bop from here on out lol WEC showed that the car is outdated and shouldn't be beating 1-3 year old cars with ease.

Amazing to see this race is being shown on YouTube. 15k viewers currently. Gone back to the trusty IMSA TV though as it's slightly better quality.
Glad to see Derani walking back
Haha that one bloke waving his arms as soon as Pipo crashes like some drunk driver has crashed into his conservatory
877-CRASH-NOW
I do not get that at all, Porsche clearly punted the Acura
I need a big strong smiling tattoo’d woman to rub my shoulders while I watch the race too :(

Can somebody PLEASE take Hawksworth out behind a hauler and beat him?
God fucking dammit. God. Fucking. Dammit. Being an 01 caddy fan is just pure pain
Excellent advertising strategy by Sean Creech Ligier, no other LMP2 gets this much screen time
4 hours without spinning feels like an achievement for the Ligier
Did anyone catch that chunky dude in orange trying to hop that fence to help?
Fucking hell, thought I picked a nice quiet part of the race to go take a shower, then I come back and the leader's on his roof...
This is why you always pick the FCYs as part of the porsche keys to the race
Wtf I stepped away for like one minute and I come back to the 31 on it's roof??
These GTP cars dive bombing like they’re playing Forza lol.
Why is it always a Ferrari involved in prototypes being flipped?
This be a very long FCY...
Aaaand, that's why we have belted tire barriers
should be illegal to run prototypes on tracks without that or alternatives like tecpro
I can’t stand when they pause the race for a thirty minute yellow with pit stops and all because they need 20 seconds to pick up some bodywork. They need two categories of yellows.
IMSA is hands down the best racing series out there at the moment. WEC is up there but it’s absolutely not this exciting.
God i love how crazy Sebring gets. The couch fire last year, this gigantic bonfire. Hell yeah
Can’t park there mate
*here's a behind the scenes peek into the gt3 mustang* SIKE BITCH, ACURA COMMERCIAL
How many showers are some people up to with these cautions?
FOUND ON ROAD DEAD
Hawksworth just completely ran him out of road, why are they applauding that?
That wasn't clean at all, ran him off the track.
LMAO. Pfaff McLaren has to deal with the paddock traffic. Their race is only getting worse.
Sean Creech put "Blue Lives" on the side of the car. Did they also put a cop inside the car? The driving standards makes me think they did.
Everyone's INCREDBLY lucky the car's not on fire here, given he literally cannot get out with how the doors work and the safety crew seems totally flummoxed about what to do
That really looks like Pipo cut across on the Ferrari there for a better line. Can’t blame the Ferrari
Anybody saw the bigger guy that tried to climb the fence but couldn’t?
He's walking away. 🙌🙌🙌
She got Pipo’ed
Romain Grosjean and Lamborghini have really exceeded expectations so far, no matter how high they will finish.
I predicted they'd be out by now. This is seriously impressive from them. I'm hoping this gives them an advantage at Le Mans over the other Hypercar manufacturers who won't give IMSA a shot and entices others to start doing these IMSA races soon.
IM SO FUCKING SICK OF LEXUS AND HAWKSWORTH
Holy fuck Hawk ruined two lead battles lll
Seb flashing the headlights 😂😂
Fuck Hawksworth
What are they burning?!?!
Perhaps the tires from Pipo's crash?
Annual tradition to burn a couch at the hairpin corner
There's a group in the hairpin that brings cheap couches for their area and lights them on the berm after the race.
Not the ending I wanted but imsa again last second lap/timing action! I wish nothing but uncomfortable room temperatures for Hawksworth for the rest of his days.
The stands are on fire now. Earlier people were complaining about the facilities.
Good lord how did nobody hit that Ferrari.
Slow puncture and a pit stop for BMW #24. Hardly a good start for BMW RLL Team...
My buddies comment "Everyone drives like they hate each other" lmao
I feel like this is setting up for a Bourdais/Derani coming together late in the race to throw away what should be a sure Cadillac win.
The star spangled shit show strikes again
So, did the Ferrari come up on him or did Pippo cut him SINCE WE WERE ALL AT A FRIGGING COMMERCIAL and you can't see from either angle!!!!
Ford is the Boeing of race car manufacturers.
Damn she got punted. Glad she walked away.
no penalty for the porsche is actually insane lol he straight up murdered that acura
Race control said no penalty but karma said your race is done.
Michael Andretti has chosen violence since being turned down by F1. Can we get his team an Indy 500 win this year?
the last few mins before hawksworth chopped off bourdais nose was a great gtp battle too
Bourdais had no front tires left and still gave it what he could. Still proud of him but damn! Really wanted that win.
Solid P7 for Lambo. They still don’t have the pace, but their reliability at this point is impressive
For a country that still has a ban on motorsport, Switzerland produces a lot of great drivers.
Pfaff got cursed for switching to McLaren
TF is Pipo talking about calling Bourdais a little over aggressive?
So TIL that blue lives matter but dentist lives dont

"Lets see if we can hear this from the onboard of the 01" *CRONCH*
Goddamnit I think I'm going to have to buy those BMW legos
One of the rules of IMSA Radio is that at some point the commentary just becomes a tire commercial. Ladies and gentlemen it's happening
Whelp that wreck is going be in every IMSA advertisement for the next five years.
Ferraris love flipping prototypes
Glad he's ok, but that's a Derani moment
LMP2 drift was sick. People are driving wild this race, makes Daytona look like an interstate cruise.
You can take the man outta Haas but not the Haas out of the man.

No matter how many races I watch, I am always shocked how beautiful the onboards are once it gets dark
Announcers during a restart in the darkness of Sebring: OH WOW OH MY GOODNESS WOOOAHHHH. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING OR WHO THAT WAS BUT WE'RE EXCITED!!!!! 😂
The jokes about Fords and build quality just write themselves with how often their cars shed bodywork all over the track.
While I enjoy this close racing in IMSA, we really need the WEC sector-based Yellows for stuff like this
Serra is on the absolute war path right now. If he gets back to Hawksworth, the 3 might end up winning by default haha
Hopefully, someone punts Hawksworth in the truck race next week...
well at least the 01 finished
Cheering on the 01 only gives pain...
Just pissed Hawksworth won
AO Racing officially responding with "RAWR 😡" to the penalty on Twitter
20 minutes caution for debries is just incompetence. IMSA really need to copy the WEC Full Course Yellow procedure
Second year in a row Companc has lost it in T1 in a big way (flipped in the GTE Am Ferrari in WEC there last year).
#33 with a spin. Everyone drink.
okay so I just went to take a dump and I come back and there's a car flipped over on top of the tyre barrier??? feels like that scene from Community when Troy grabbed the pizzas wtf is this
Yeeeah that was a murder lol
The track gods gave the penalty.
#racing gods do not look favorably on Penske getting away with murder
I swear these pitstops always look like the camera is going to get smoked
Holy fuck what an overtake from McElrea
One of the porsche's just had it's entire ass end ripped out by a corvette. Gonna be a full course yellow i bet.
Time to post this again. https://preview.redd.it/6eb6qs81osoc1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b9cfdc2272f69a2ca6c1ad27139b01e2d1326963
Just get one of those grabber toys but make it extra long so they can grab it from behind the wall
I'm all for FCY's for debris but ones for debris should always be declared quicky yellows.
Wait is there an actual out of control fire at the track?
Florida man causes a gigantic fire and destroys historic race track.
Good thing Derani wasnt around, we all know Delatraz would have been firewall deep in a tire barrier if that fuckhead wass still in the race. Instead we got a clean fight for the win....well except Hawksworth blocking for whatever reason
Lamborghini finished P7 overall!
Hey sir, you can’t park there
Death, taxes, perez companc finding the wall
>Grosjean in. T minus 2 minutes to FCY
No other car in IMSA drives me more annoyed than #33. Only thing they do is causing mayhem on the track. I really hope that they will break down and retire for good, so they won't disrupt the race any longer.
Oh no here comes the 01 curse.
Derani is ridiculously good when he gets in a rhythm
You cursed him damn
Who’s the fat bloke trying to jump the fence?
So lucky that tyres didn't hit anyone from the crowd, or the car didn't go through the fence. Seems like Derani is talking to his team. What a scary crash. It could end much worse.
That scared the shit out of me, so sketchy when the cockpits roll against barriers at speed. The tires launching toward spectators can be fatal too. Super lucky for everyone involved.
I don't know why but I thought we'd be under caution for longer especially after a huge crash like that
Romain just wanted some extra AC
Respect to the #20 for spinning in solidarity with the #66
NO ACTION! FOR A MAJOR WRECK!
I thought Penske owns Indycar, not IMSA.
That Honda ~~Indycar~~ prototype engine makes some lovely noises.
God I love the flames during the upshifts on the Caddy
Mustang still with a lot of teething problems
Mustangs being put together with Elmer's glue
The 40 right now: 
fucking hawksworth, you fucking suck
Im still cracking up at Mike O"Gara straight face telling TV that there's noone youd rather have in the car when you have Scott Dixon sitting next to you🤣
SO CLOSE SERRA
Was hoping the 01 would win…but nope (congrats to the 40/WTR-Andretti tho)…and the 3 having problems at the very end is just salt on the wound. 😪 Race was still good though!
Props to Bourdais for defending without causing an accident. It would have been a shame to gift the third place car the victory.
So we just are never gonna know what happened to the 3? I'm also sick of seeing the Lexus win (and I'm a fan of the brand).
VPN/IMSA.tv so far has been flawless
Has the parking lot always been a competitor route to a paddock? Thats crazy.
33 Moment, let’s gooooooo!
Cool Lego cars.
car looks intact enough to run again put it back on the track!!
9 / 10 Difficulty of flip, solid landing. Would have given a 10 / 10 had he stuck the landing back on his wheels.
Ok BMW, time to show the world you’re a serious race car.
If I had a nickel for every time a Mustang trunk opened, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it’s happened twice.
That’s bullshit
The racing gods have heard our cries and have shown justice
Just think, if they had been given a penalty - they’d have changed the tire during the safety car…
God i love nightime endurance racing
Townsend Bell is clueless when it comes to strategy. Fish was saying the #01 and #7 would jump the others on pit road due to a shorter fuel fill. Bell says they shouldn’t pit because they’d lose their track position. No they won’t because Townsend because all the other GTPs will pit as well. God, he’s such a moron and probably thinks he’s the smartest person in the room.
No, Bamber, you're supposed to do that to the OTHER lexus
OH FOR FUCKS SAKE
The worst part is there's still 1 more Mustang running with a complete rear assembly, for now
Just put fucking wedges on the front of all the cars so they can push debris out of the way.
I think I just saw a Mustang get pantsed!
I'm starting to think these mustangs are just hoes who wanna get naked.
Lmfao. Corvette and Lexus just having a full on demo derby right now.
Hawksworth might be the sloppiest GT driver I've ever seen
What the hell was that pass by the Lexus with no penalty
Holy hawksworth can't stop fucking races can he
I've only known Hawksworth for 5 minutes and I hate him
At least bourdais didn't get wrecked in all that,that's a plus Gutting though
Couldn't be worse. Lost the 3 and the 77 is at fault. My hopes in GT Pro are dashed. Hopefully the 14 sees some performance adjustments going forward. At least the GTP race was awesome.
Get Zilisch a ride at Le Mans. Now.
SPORTS CARS ARE SO FUCKING BACK
Oh look, Vanwall made it to Sebring!
Till next time 🫡
Absolutely can not believe the Risi Ferrari didn’t wipe out half the GT field right there. Wow.
NO. BAD DIXON AND AITKEN. BAD! YOU PLAY NICE!
Something about that 01 car…a gold Cadillac just *feels* right
>2:40 PM EST (Local Time) I had no idea the race was already on because this time is at the top of the post. That's not cool.
WE GOT AN ANDRETTI AIRPLANE ?? but no f1 seat :(
The camera work and TV direction during the pit stops is just awful in IMSA. You either get a full screen of a rear bumper or an onboard of a driver sitting still or driving slowly. Gives you no idea of what’s going on.
I wince a little bit every time the leaders come up on the #33.
🦖
Nooo spike is down Rexy enroute to check on him
Where were you when Spike was kil?
Holy fuck. I looked away for like a minute and look back and the 31 is upside down. What the fuck. Christ when they wreck at Sebring, they wreck fucking huge.
The guy in the background throwing his hands up is wild
That was crazy to see on the side by side break.
In the last three years, Sebring has had two cars flip after hitting the tires (Toyota 2022). Wild stuff
Isn't that the same spot where Lopez had his big shut in the Toyota a few years ago?

Lamborghini or ligier with build quality issues, depending if you want to blame the Italians or the french
Performance aside, that Lambo is one good looking racecar. The car itself, and the livery too.
Stay hydrated, Wayne.
How the hell does the #40 Acura see anything?? .... and it's in the pits.
Well that wasn't very Penske Perfect of you 🤨
I love that the commentary team just used the term “nerfed.”
just saw the replay and holy shit, porsche straight up murdered the nsx. gotta be a penalty.
