Jaguar crashed (drove straight off) on the mulsanne and crashed in to a barrier. Most of the 1st hour was under yellow to repair this barrier.

This Erin on the lemantv streaming bugs me. She has a "uh" crutch, stutters and doesn't know simple things (like turbo fires) about the cars.

If you think there is a lot of yellow flags for this 24hr race, in 1985, I was working corners at Mid-Ohio for the SCCA Playboy United States Endurance Cup 24 hr showroom stock race. There were so many laps run under yellow, the pace car had to leave the track to get more gas. If it was classified, the pace car would have finished in the top half of the field.
That year, there were four 24 hr races in North America. I worked corners at 3 of them (the SCCA/Playboy races at Nelson Ledges, Mid-Ohio and St. Louis International). The other being IMSA at Daytona.
