#RSLN24 #24hNBR #RSLN24 VER aside, this is really a gripping race - thank you to you, and the entire team, for the phenomenal coverage you have all provided! #BackRoomForEver #BehindTheScenes #ItTakesApaddock

O NO! @RSL_Studio #24hNBR Get that SURFcw Flag higher in the air than the double yellows at Ahrenberg!

@RSL_Studio #24HNBR Watching Kevin Estre doing up his belts in the #99 Manthey Porsche behind the tow vehicle: Racecar Problems: could not steer with his knees because the wheel is too high up :) Damn shame about that unfortunate slide though... Small mistake; huge consequence

I sit corrected! Replay shows an earlier Porsche laying down fluid. No mistake at all - Estre was a passenger the minute the rear end let go...

@IMSARadio was that 2nd hit by Heinrich a "revenge hit" after Eng pushed him into the wall a few corners earlier? Race Control, as you said, will take a dim view of that #IMSA #AGPLB

@IMSARadio yeah, the penalty assignments were odd; at 14:03 RC assigned blame to #5, at 14:06 they corrected and re-assigned blame to #25, but the 14:04 report should probably have been labelled "second incident"

@specutainment listening live (an hour too early! :) ) Clocks have already changed in California (get rid of this silly time change) so I suppose I'll be back in an hour to hear AtUF and latest and greatest racing news pieces :)

@specutainment now *actually* listening live (from the garden, as soon as the neighbour's landscapers stop their leaf blowers :) )

Happy 4th of July to all my American friends and family. Isn't it ironic that given that this was the day when we declared our separation from Britain, that it is the only day of the year when we say 4th of July instead of July 4th? 😂🇺🇸🎇 Happy Birthday America!

@RSL_Studio @radiolemans #RLM_24H speaking of safety cars running out of fuel, the 2023 IndyCar finalé at Laguna Seca had so much SC running that. the Honda Civic Type R SC also ran through a tank, and had to be refueled mid-race as well

IndyCar did have a backup SC, but it happened that the SC was refuling station when it was called out again! They rushed out, but missed the field on the first pass, catching the leader on the next lap. All those incidents actually led to a change in the restart rules for 2024

@specutainment no AFAs today; sitting by in a soon-to-be-wet San Jose, CA, and ready to hear the wrap up after the great coverage of the #Rolex24

@specutainment the rain held off long enough, and the show kept me entertained enough to install a (hope I'll never need!) fire extinguisher bracket (and bottle!) into the M Roadster.

@IMSARadio For the last 7 hours (I failed to capture prior to hr3) total laptimes for the leaders have been dropping steadily #Rolex24 #Rolex24Hours #Rolex24atDaytona - the question is, can they avoid the FCYs?

@specutainment Listening live from sunny San José this week. Home from 2 back-to-back marshal duties (F1 CotA and a regional) for a short break before F1 in Vegas in 2 weeks. Looking forward to the show.

Ooh, apparently I'm caught up by a changing of the (UK) clocks - so, an hour off for good behaviour :)

Thank you all at @specutainment @rsl_studio @radiolemans #HagertyRLM for a fantastic #100ans #24hLeMans - stellar coverage, as we've become accustomed to, but clearly not the work of a day or 2 to pull it off. Bravo! Brava! and see you next year!

@RSL_Studio @IMSARadio can you ask Nascar Productions to lower the FX feed (front straight mic it appears) as it's bleeding over your commentary feed, making it very hard to hear – at Tinley Park, IL

@RSL_Studio @IMSARadio Thanks to whoever fixed it! Much better mix levels now! We've had this problem on the trackside and scanner frequency feed at Laguna Seca as well. I worked closely with BSI to fix it during last year's Laguna race. – at Tinley Park, IL

@IMSARadio @RSL_Studio that #39 car of McGennis had leaked some fluids; the safety crew were under it with speed-dry
1
Stop reason was bad electronic throttle; I guess that was just a precautionary spreading of speed-dry; perhaps some coolant overflow due to heat soak?
Replying to @F1
@f1 #F1TV The Driver Tracker screen shows the Friday drivers (Vips and De Vries) as "on track" but they are absent from the actual tracker map; their times appear on the Data screen, however

@F1 #F1TV Driver Tracker now shows VIP and DEV moving, however on the data screen, the bottom row position tracker shows DEV static and nothing for VIP
Thank you to John Hindaugh, @JeremyShawRacer, @GearboxGirl, Tim Grey, and the whole @RSL_Studio crew at @IMSARadio, BSI and Nascar Productions for another day of great trackside and broadcast coverage on 454MHz at @WeatherTechRcwy #LagunaSeca. Another great day's racing!
