The Isotta, as slow as the overall achieved laptime is, could cause people some issues for as long as it runs. It is phenomenally fast on the straights, visibly quicker through the kink(s) between Mulsanne corner and Indianapolis than the other Hypercars. This may cause frustrations.
Probably as much as the P2s are getting frustrated with the Hypercars as whilst the P2s are slower on the straights, they're quicker through the corners.
Praying for sunny rain.

Ps, finally mentioned that Caddy penalty.
Reading reports on Autosport, Sportscar 365 and Daily Sportscar, none of the reporters had a clue about the Cadillac penaltySportscar 365 did manage to mention it in a report later in the evening
What chance any of them or the TV crew remembering 51 & 83 Ferraris have 10 second penalties at their first pitstops in the race for pit lane infractions

Secondly - if you havent already, the Cadillac Documentary which came out this week is really interesting and really sets the scene for their race this weekend, worth a watch. Its really good to see them doing well and looking like they can challenge, and praise the lord for that magical 5 and half litre naturally aspirated V8 - in 2024 these kind of things just feel all the more special.
Hopefully someone on site will confirm it sounds as good as it does through the TV!
Really looking forward to Hyperpole tonight!
I can confirm that it sounds amazing.Hopefully someone on site will confirm it sounds as good as it does through the TV!

The LMGT3 Huracans sound incredible too.

Ooh, starting to look a little bit like a car. Good luck to them, it was a proper mess that arrived back at the garage last night. VladD said:

All they get is a quick blast on the airport runway tonight and I'd forgotten that Saturday warm-up is only 15 minutes these days. So not much time to dial it in - but Jota are as experienced as it gets when it comes to LM and I guess they have all the data from FP.
They should take heart from the experience of the #92 Manthey Porsche at Spa - rebuilt from a bag of bits and went on to finish 2nd in class.
