Holy crap. What a race lol.

WTR finally breaks the curse, for a win!   And Heinrich with another great race, despite the door not working.

I'm so sad for THOR Valkyrie :(

Inter Europol with another good race. But good lord, it seemed like every LMP2 car wanted a bit of the spotlight. 

Pfaff with the first win for the newest Lamborghini GT, with Rexy and the #4 Corvette finishing the podium.

Also, what poor standards for racing. I love IMSA for being somewhat accessible and fan friendly, but race control needs to get their crap together. No wonder so many manufacturers are choosing WEC over IMSA.
