00:00This is a fantastic alarm call for all of you here camping at America's National Park of Speed.
00:07Race 1 of 2 of the Mustang Challenge here at the Motul Sports Car Grand Prix.
00:13One of IMSA's Blue Riband events.
00:16Good run to the line and a jump away from the number 13 of Robert Nuica in the blue and white car to the pit wall side of that long climbing pit straight.
00:25He gets away and brings Sandy Sotullo in the red, white and black car through with him or the one with the more white on the nose of that car.
00:32It'll be side by side with Devin Anderson as they go through in second and third.
00:35Anderson goes wide and there's a touch there and round goes Sotullo and he's right in the middle of the pack.
00:41This is going to be huge conflagration.
00:43Also involved Alfonso Diaz that takes board second place in the Legends.
00:49There's at least two or three cars in there.
00:51The Stars and Stripes, Alfonso Diaz car, Sandy Sotullo went round as well.
00:58That was the catalyst I think.
01:00Safety car is out.
01:01Robert Nuica was ahead of that.
01:03Devin Anderson somehow got through it and coming through in third Sam Paley avoided the conflagration.
01:11I think it was the car.
01:13Oh no, Sotullo seemed to lose it on his own there.
01:17That was rather bizarre Peter McKay.
01:19Very bizarre and Zachary Lee was lucky to get away from that one as well.
01:23He sort of got clipped a little bit in the middle of all that melee.
01:27Actually got onto the grass, excuse me, and somehow managed to gather it together.
01:31Very lucky for Zachary Lee but completely the opposite for Alfonso Diaz who seemed to be an innocent bystander there.
01:38As he came around turn one and the moment has happened across from him, he goes to avoid Sandy Sotullo and just couldn't quite make it over in time and gets clipped and into the barrier he goes.
01:50This is an old school circuit.
01:51If you make an error here, there is not much room to get away with it.
01:55So unlucky for Alfonso Diaz, second in the legends at the drop of the green flag.
02:02He didn't do anything wrong.
02:05I'm just wondering from the attitude of Sotullo's car whether he got a tiny little touch on the right rear from Sam Paley, which is what pitched him.
02:18Because he pitched to the left first when you would have expected him with power on out of the right hand corner to go to the right.
02:25And that was what caused the issue.
02:29He didn't quite catch the car coming back, not his issue there.
02:34And in fairness, Devin Anderson, the tech sport driver who started on the front row, he'd gone very wide as he tried to tough it out on the outside.
