Open Road

Rolex 24 Porsches fighting through the last lap. Wow, what a finish!

That was epic!

Best last 30 minutes of racing you'll see anywhere.

Bathurst 2019.

^^ Good heavens - many places on that track where there is near ZERO tolerance for error.

Coming back to this, I wasn’t trying to say Bathurst was better. Just sharing another great racing finish of recent times. The Rolex 24 was really great this year!

You know, one never knows how someone else interprets something so I just took the video you posted up, watch it from start to finish and enjoyed it. Personally, I thought the 24 was more interesting because of the 2 Pcar factory teammates literally bumped, rubbed and ran with each other for many laps and then almost collecting Colton Herta who had just make the pass for the lead on in LMP2 and was trying to gap the P2 car. It was great driving all around from everyone. But if you're going to post up great race videos, no one is stopping you.

Agreed, any good finish is worth sharing for sure!

Also I don't remember which vehicle but one of the prototypes got cut off and basically off-roaded for about 6-7 seconds before going back on track. Not sure if they got penalized for taking the shortcut but it was pretty funny to see him just continue going forward and then get back on track like nothing ever happened.

That was actually the battle for the lead in LMP2. The lead prototype did not get cut off but Colton Herta took to the inside on approach to the bus stop chicane and as we saw with the 2 PCars, 2 doesn't go into 1.

Here's the highlight video. The incident above in at the 34:50 min.

Short version of the GTDP ending.
