#48 will put Kamui Kobayashi in the car. Slow running, look, for the beleaguered Mustang Sampling #5 JDC-Miller Cadillac. Slowing down it is a right rear tire that is flat. They crashed and had to have repairs done to the car. The all French squad of Sebastien Bourdais, Loic Duval (in the car now), and Tristan Vautier, having issues. Kamui Kobayashi is going to perhaps finish the race in the #48 Cadillac for Action Express. Mercifully, the #5 is in the lane and we also see #01 and #60 in the lane. Scott Dixon stays in the car for Ganassi while A.J. Allmendinger, he will give way to Dane Cameron. Filipe Albuquerque is out of the #10 and now, Ricky Taylor is going to run a double stint for the #10 Acura.
Kamui Kobayashi starts his mission, now. Over the curbs, and out onto the high banks. Lapped traffic from GTD in the way. We can still see the Acura in the lead of the motor race. The chess match has begun. Christina Nielsen explains she has never run a Rolex 24 where the majority of her driving was at night. Nielsen explains some of the damage to the Porsche the team was having trouble with, probably with suspension damage. Someone has spun. That's the #11 LMP2 car. Time is growing short here at the Rolex 24. The #11 car s being repaired in pit lane. Stephen Thomas, he had black smoke coming out of the car. Was this brake smoke? Did he explode a brake rotor? That piece of shrapnel is a smoking hulk of some kind. So the team are now fixing the brakes. That's carbon or iron smoke. The brake rotor exploded on the right front wheel.
Mike Rockenfeller is confident and thinks Action Express can be happy. Hopefully AXR can catch the WTR Acura. WIN Autosport said they replaced the whole brake system on their automobile at 4AM this morning. The #57 Winward Mercedes is in the lane for service and Maro Engel is going to stay in that automobile. The margin is shrinking. Ricky Taylor still leads. Now, the #31 is still running and is ahead of the #10. Chase Elliott is still soldiering on in the #31 machine. The #01 Ganassi Cadillac is slow. The #01 will replace a tire and get back in it.
Ricky Taylor nearly gets chopped by a GT car of some sort. We remain under Full Course Yellow. Pit stop time for #10, #48 and others. Oliver Jarvis in the #55 Mazda has been in the lane and so has Scott Dixon in the #01. Renger van der Zande now in the car. GT cars pitting now. GTLM and GTD. Now, Corvette's are still in a head to head scrap and the #3 car is stalling. It won't budge! The engine is stalling. Jordan Taylor is gunning the motor and now he starts it and is down and gone. #31 is in the lane as we get ready to go green.
Green flag! Ricky Taylor, Dane Cameron, Oliver Jaervis, and Kamui Kobayashi. Taylor and Cameron fighting. This is a war! Oliver Jarvis is in the hunt and so is Kamui Kobayashi. Taylor goes through on Cameron. Jarvis is moving in as well. Filipe Albuquerque might get into the car, but no. Oh my! Here comes Oliver Jarvis! Ricky Taylor fends him off. Kobayashi keeping a watching brief as well. Two hours to go. Ricky Taylor gets a good exit off the corner in the Bus Stop. GTLM is shades of last year with BMW vs. Ferrari. Farfus and Pier Guidi squabbling over third, not first like in 2020. Back to the lead. Jarvis reeling in aylor. Kobayashi close behind.
Kobayashi reeling in the Mazda while in turn, Mazda is reeling in the Acura of Ricky Taylor. Three of the best in the business scrapping for a mega trophy.
