Indeed, on lap 18 one or two cylinders stopped working due to water infiltration to the point that anyone with an ear for these things began to fear a breakdown.
With several top privateer teams and regular Endurance World Championship teams in contention, Yamaha's lone entry was the Iwata Racing Family team. Their race ended with a retirement on lap 144.
You could see early on that Leclerc in the Ferrari was managing the pace and eventually when everyone started racing from about Lap 15, the tyres quickly got out of shape for some of the front runners.
Lotterer kept up the fierce pace, so by lap 23, he was on Sekiguchi's tail. These two fought for position in both the hair pin of corner 24, and in the first corner of lap 27.
After a time that put him in 3rd position on the third lap, he slowed his pace and allowed the tires to cool before beginning another full time attack.
The safety car remained on the course until the fifth lap, and as the race resumed in the sixth lap, Takahashi gave a valiant run at leader Kosuke Akiyoshi but finished the race in second place.
His tyres were completely gone from lap one- I know because I had the same set of tyres on from the start of the race after I pitted just after the start.
However, he had to suspend the time attack on the lap 1 since a car ahead was driving slowly and blocked his way. He allowed the tires to cool for one lap, and made a time attack again on the next lap..
Nearly two laps to go finally found that printed on the base in Xi'an, China Qin terracotta figurines kneeling words should be the most delicate workmanship, and in particular the shape of the face is very realistic.
Chartered about 70-80 yuan, you can buy a seat, a 20 yuan, but the drivers generally want to cobble together a four-person walk, to be around the last two laps, the money is not easy, but also can be considerate.
But on lap one if you brake a bit late, or what I had in Austin with Charles Leclerc, I felt sorry I spun him, but his race was already dead because he had damage on the front wing and the floor, so I think the consequences were not that bad.
