A 2000 Porsche engine has vario-cams and drive by wire. We should expect in 24 years that they have sophisticated this to the enth degree (and more to come, likely).

The Chewbacca insertion was really annoying. Yes, I got the point after the 2nd one. but the one little blurb meaning 'right on' was well placed. Had he been so clever the whole time....

The Porsche GTP's have survived the night in good shape . Problems for #10 Acura , both BMW's and the #01 Cadillac . With 8 + hours left its anyone's race to win .

Clicked on to coverage at 6:15am. Cadillac 1st. Porsche 963s 2-3-4-5

Nr. 1 Cadillac OUT. They seem to have the worst luck. What happened this time?

^^^ The announcers said the # 01 Cadillac had a drive train failure . They haven't determined if it was electrical or mechanical .

Zeke, don't think the explanation was aimed at grown ups but at future generations of 3rd grade engineers

If he explained it at a the technical level required to create and make it work only 0.00001% of IMSA fans would have an understanding and be able to appreciate the complexity of it all
