WS Racing eSports LMP2 I — 92 laps

Daniel Langehegermann took overall pole with a 1:48.971 and the car led 52 of the 92 laps. He and Fabian Buhl finished 36.2 s clear on a combined three incident points — the cleanest front-running drive of the night.

DaRoAn (GT3) · Aachen Yellow (Porsche Cup)

Andre N Villela won GT3 alone in the DaRoAn Acura by 30.3 s, on two incident points in three hours — the lowest figure of any car in the race. Kevin Küpper took the Porsche Cup by 30.2 s with the class’s fastest lap.

Alemannia Aachen White — P13 → P2

Benjamin Höft drove all three hours on his own, started thirteenth of sixteen in LMP2 and finished second in class on the lead lap, leading four laps himself — on five incident points, against a class average above seventeen.

Martin Spieler — 1:49.021

The quickest lap of the race, set on lap 79 in the PWA E-Sports #BackFisch LMP2. Class bests: Michael Gasser 1:59.912 (GT3) and Kevin Küpper 2:01.469 (Porsche Cup).

One caution, and it came from a server

Race control and iRacing were on the same machine, and both crashed. On restart the software re-counted every car’s incidents and effectively doubled them — seven black flags in nine seconds, 24 more before the flag, and a Full Course Yellow that could not be cancelled. The one caution of the race, four laps long, was a software fault.

Six cars gone, 248 logged incidents

Six cars disconnected or parked: Void Crown after two laps, Neon Pink after 41, Neon Orange after 45, KEK Racing after 56, Flying Arrow after 57, CAS-Tech Yellow after 20. Only five of sixteen LMP2 and four of sixteen GT3 reached the flag on the class lead lap.

All 248 logged incidents projected onto the real Sebring geometry. The dense clusters are Turn 17 onto the pit straight, the Hairpin, and the concrete-lined run through Sunset Bend.

Logged telemetry events by driver and race time. These are the logger’s own detections, which undercount — the „Inc“ column in the tables below uses iRacing’s official points instead.

The three-stint rhythm of the front-runners is visible as three neat columns around 40, 95 and 135 minutes. The long orange blocks are disasters, not strategy: Michael Gasser’s 1123 s and 1343 s, Don Utz’s 1051 s repair, Kevin Osiewacz’s 596 s. Times are stationary pit time, not net race-time loss.

Clean-lap distributions, pit and slow laps excluded. The multiclass split is stark: LMP2 lives between 1:50 and 1:53, GT3 and the Cup Porsches between 2:00 and 2:04. That ten-second delta is the whole traffic problem in one picture.

Green = places gained on track, red = lost. In a three-class field this counts lapping traffic as well as racing, so read it as activity rather than as a ranking of overtakers.

The lead group stays inside a minute for the whole race. Where several lines move together, the whole class is being neutralised or held up in traffic; the lines that fall away below are the cars that lost multiple laps to damage and repairs.

Höft’s climb from thirteenth is the long diagonal. Hendrik Stanzel leads for a spell in the middle third before falling away, and the order settles only after the restart.

Lap by lap for all sixteen LMP2. Pit laps and black flags show as single spikes; the flat, narrow traces belong to the cars that finished on the lead lap.

Michael Gasser controls the first half, then the line ends: black flag, contact with Eggert, retirement. From there Villela is never headed.

Pole-sitter Timo Elges falls through the order almost from the start; the podium three trade places until Gasser’s exit settles it.

Sixteen GT3 cars lap by lap. Villela’s trace is the flattest on the chart — three hours without a single spike outside the pit laps.

Küpper and Cursio swap the class lead repeatedly through the middle of the race — the two lines cross the zero axis again and again. The cliff at lap 50 is Don Utz’s repair.

Five cars, and by half distance only three still running. The lead changes hands more often here than in either of the bigger classes.

The Cup cars run the tightest lap-time band of the three classes — no BOP, identical machinery, and the pace differences are all driver.
