This was the first race I've been able to attend in person, I'm so glad I did. If you haven't been trackside yet, try and make it happen, there's really nothing like it. John reads my tweet at 52:04. What a great guy.

I would recommend it, you wont necessarily need it all the time but you'll know when you're too close for aural comfort. The Corvettes are extremely loud, and the Fords are much louder than I thought they would be. The cameras don't do these cars justice, except for the 911 RSR, it sounds amazing on camera and in person.

Agreed. For once, I was able to tell the two apart at just a glance. Personally, I think all the GTLM teams should use different paint schemes for each car. Nobody's looking at door mirror and windshield stripe colors at 150mph.

Epic track.

Would it be possible to use some footage from this event (with credit) in a piece we are doing about Lime Rock? We have been searching for racing footage of this track, and this is exactly what we are looking for. Thanks!

What a great race

Considering this entire track can fit in my driveway, it was a pretty good race. Seriously, how many times are we going to tolerate the Porsches bumping other cars off? It's always "there might have a slight touch"... "was that a rub?".. "oh just a racing incident". Bottom line is that for a while now the 911/912 guys have been total dicks, pushing their way through when they can't win fair and square.

Like most of the other drivers as well. THE Tandy maneuver at the end of the race was nothing more, than a fight for position in a slightly harder fashion.

FYI you must hand it to the Porsche teams for even being able to hang with the V8 cars and not fade quickly! Like you I once was a Porsche hater until I drove a few myself. That is all it takes to change your mind for good. Then I went out and bought a Audi A8S 4T That easily smokes stock Corvette Grand Sports all day long! And I am a GM man myself. Oops.

JoeyRodz74 i'll never forget when the Porsche spun out the Corvette on the last turn at Long Beach just to let his teammate go thru. There was literally less than 5 mins left to race. That's why I hate Porsche as a brand right now.

much better BOP in GTLM, hate the 3 couldn't hold on for the win

I have my favorite teams and my not-so-favorite teams, but I hate to see my favorite teams winning because of silly mistakes or mechanical failures by their competition, or worse, crashes. They can win legitimately, and that's what I want to see.

Joey Hand is a fucking genius

I wish they'd stop spoiling what happened in the Conti race during the broadcast since the broadcast/upload schedule for that series is wonky but it is what it is. Just surprised Shea didn't give the spoiler this time!

Two classes is enough, protypes should be separate. Having the constant graphic on the left makes the race easy to follow.

@davesoverthere

It was a GT-only race. Lime Rock is the shortest track they race on (1.5 miles), and the schedule's really tight due to the local ordinance that prevents them from racing on Sundays. Prototypes also skip VIR, GTLM cars don't race at Belle Isle, and GTD cars don't race at Long Beach.

Sabbathbassdude Ramsay it's just a GT round. Some tracks don't have enough space for all classes. So sometimes it's easier to choose a few classes to run. There's some rounds the GTLM (GTE) or GTDs (GT3) don't run it.

@deletedaccount966

Although I have a personal preference for the GTLM class, I am dissapointed to observe that there are no prototypes in this race. Only 18 cars is pretty low and, we've seen many more cars at once on this racetrack in the past. But, it is understandable that there is not enough space and, to be honest, the GTLM class and GTD class gives us such fantastic racing that the loss of prototype cars is easily forgotten.

Tough break #3, we can blame the white ferrari for that bad pass, thanks for the GT race, just goes to show you, we don't need no stinking prototypes (or thier badges)

👍

Audi really tried hard and will probably win if there are two more laps, will audi overtake Lamborghini the same way they overtook a 911.

They would be vastly too expensive to build and run, most GT3 cars cost around a quarter million while a road going Chiron goes for 2.8 million, even a purpose built version made to be as cheap as possible would still cost faaaaar too much to run

Nick Tandy is easily the dirtiest sportscar driver in the world, followed only by his Porsche teammates. He may be fast, but not fast enough to justify his driving. I'm surprised that Porsche hire factory drivers that make them look almost objectively bad. At least the Mercedes drivers in GTD aren't hired by Mercedes.

I respectfully disagree. It's a small but fast track, similar in feel to Road Atlanta. Road Courses in my opinion are the most interesting (VIR, Road Atlanta, Laguna Seca, Watkins Glen, Angelssey, Brands Hatch ect). Almost no braking zones (mostly just trail braking) and lots of elevation changes. And if you go in person it's a beautiful place to be, sitting on green grass under large oak trees. You're also RIGHT at trackside and can walk freely around the whole track, no assigned seating. The exhaust sounds echo off the small mountain next to the track. Stand on the wooden bridge and watch the cars fly 15 ft under your feet at 120 mph, rumbling your chest. Decidedly NOT boring. Lastly, driving there is half the fun. The roads leading to Lime Rock are fast, winding 'mountain' roads that are a blast to drive on.
