ALMS - Lime Rock: And the race leader is in for their final stop of the day as Luhr swaps driver duties with Klaus Graf.
ALMS - Lime Rock: GT leader Muller has pitted for left-side tyres and fuel. He remains in the BMW.
ALMS - Lime Rock: Luhr is still romping away at the front of the field. The German racer is four laps ahead of Cosmo - who is leading LMP2 - and Smith in the Dyson Lola, who has made three stops today.
ALMS - Lime Rock: Over in the LMPC catergory, RSR Racing's Bruno Junqueira is a lap ahead of Colin Braun. With less than 55 minutes left, the Brazilian looks set for a good finish today.
ALMS - Lime Rock: GT is where the action is currently at - it's difficult to know where to look!
Muller and Garcia are battling it out at the front of the class, while Oliver Gavin is doing a tremendous job of fending off the Porsche 911 of Patrick Long in third.

ALMS - Lime Rock: Briscoe is stuck in traffic at the moment, much to Cosmo's delight, no doubt.
Garcia, meanwhile, is doing a great job of keeping Muller honest in the GT class. Less than a second separates the two at the moment.

ALMS - Lime Rock: Cosmo is going like the clappers in LMP2. He's scything through traffic with relative ease and pulling out a sizeable gap on Briscoe.
ALMS - Lime Rock: Those are pretty dark clouds heading towards Lime Rock...
ALMS - Lime Rock: A frantic few laps since the race resumed.
Guy Cosmo is now the LMP2 leader in the #01 Extreme Speed HPD with Briscoe on his coattails.
And is that rain on Antonio Garcia's windscreen?

Checkered flag
IndyCar - Pocono: Munoz wins by 16s; Karam holds off Chaves for second. There certainly was contact between those two - Chaves' front wing was wobbling all over the place during the final couple of laps.
Green flag
ALMS - Lime Rock: We've passed the halfway point and we're back to green. Can Guy Smith pull back a two-lap deficit on Luhr?
IndyCar - Pocono: Munoz is so far ahead we can't even be bothered to check the gap, but the battle for second between team-mates Karam and Chaves is keepimg us awake. They've changed places a couple of times, and appeared to make contact at one point. Karam has just reclaimed second with two laps to go.
IndyCar - Pocono: Munoz now leads by 10s with 10 laps to go. The commentators have just declared that for Karam, finishing second is as good as winning - which it clearly isn't. As it stands he's not going to do either, because he's just been relegated to third by Chaves.
ALMS - Lime Rock: Now would be a good time to go through the class leaders:
LMP1: Lucas Luhr (Pickett HPD)
LMP2: Marino Franchitti (Level 5 HPD)
LMPC: Duncan Ende (RSR Racing)
GT: Dirk Muller (RLL BMW)
GTC: Dion von Moltke (TRG Porsche)

Yellow flag
ALMS - Lime Rock: And our first full-course caution of the day comes with just over 90 minutes left on the clock. Rusty Mitchell is in a dangerous position on Turn 1 and his ORECA needs to be extricated.
IndyCar - Pocono: The Lights race has just passed the halfway mark, and Munoz now leads Karam by about 6s. The battle for second and third is a little more reasonable, with Karam 0.4s ahead of Gabby Chaves. No-one else is vaguely close.
ALMS - Lime Rock: David Ostella's satnav appears to have momentarily gone on the blink as he went way off the track! He was running fourth in GTC in the #68 TRG Porsche 911 before heading to the pitlane after his off-track excursion.
ALMS - Lime Rock: The #91 SRT Viper has officially retired due to 'mechanical issues'.
ALMS - Lime Rock: Drama for the Dyson crew as Guy Smith encounters difficulty getting into the Lola. He's out and a lap down on Luhr.
ALMS - Lime Rock: And Luhr is in the pits on lap 67 for fuel and tyres. The German certainly seems rather thirsty...
IndyCar - Pocono: Second time lucky. It's a clean start, and Carlos Munoz leads the Lights field through the first corner. Gabby Chaves has passed Sage Karam for second.
ALMS - Lime Rock: The lead PC is the first in its class to pit. A clean stop for the #9 RSR ORECA and Ende is back on his way.
IndyCar - Pocono: The first attempt at a start for the Indy Lights race has been waved off. The cars are having another go at forming up in the hope of getting the green flag this time around.
ALMS - Lime Rock: Whatever Dyson's issue, it seems to have been an intermittent one as he is back on the pace and after a brief loss of speed.
ALMS - Lime Rock: Forty-five minutes and 57 laps into the race and Luhr is in the lead for a second time. Is the Dyson Lola-Mazda suffering a misfire?
ALMS - Lime Rock: Farnbacher is back out again in the #91 TRG Porsche. He's lost 17 laps through a power steering issue.
ALMS - Lime Rock: Lead change in GTC as von Moltke passes Canache for position.
ALMS - Lime Rock: The #23 AJR Ferrari comes into the pits to have its rear bumper torn off following an earlier altercation with what looks to have been David Chang in the PR1 ORECA.
ALMS - Lime Rock: Inevitably, Luhr has taken the lead.
Well, he did. Until Dyson took advantage of traffic and took his place back on lap 35.

ALMS - Lime Rock: Edwards still leads the GT class in his BMW Z4. He's 5.17s ahead of Jan Magnussen in the Corvette and the Ferrari F458 of Olivier Beretta.
Things are relatively spread out in GTC as well, as Canache Jr leads the way, with Dion von Moltke second and Cooper MacNeil in third.

ALMS - Lime Rock: Elsewhere, Dominik Farnbacher has pulled off the circuit in his SRT Viper.
ALMS - Lime Rock: Franchitti pulls off a ballsy move on his Level 5 team-mate Tucker to take the LMP2 lead.
ALMS - Lime Rock: Luhr looks poised to take the lead from Dyson. He's relentlessly attacking the American and it's only a matter of time before they trade places...
ALMS - Lime Rock: The closest battle is still between the two LMP1 cars as 0.26s separates Dyson and Luhr.
Franchitti is third overall in the Level 5 HPD and is 4.41s ahead of Tucker in the LMP2 class.
Franchitti is third overall in the Level 5 HPD and is 4.41s ahead of Tucker in the LMP2 class.
ALMS - Lime Rock: Tremendous weaving through traffic by the frontrunners. The GT competitors are doing a great job of looking in their mirrors around the 1.5-mile circuit.
ALMS - Lime Rock: Nine laps completed and the LMP1 duo of Dyson and Luhr have already come across backmarkers.
Don't forget the DeltaWing is also in the top-tier category - it's running in seventh place with Andy Meyrick currently at the wheel.

ALMS - Lime Rock: While Dyson and Luhr follow each other nose-to-tail, Scott Tucker is leading in LMP2 for Level 5, Duncan Ende is at the front of the PC category and in GTs we have John Edwards in the RLL BMW and Nelson Canache Jr heading the all-Porsche GT field.
Green flag
ALMS - Lime Rock: Much more orderly second attempt and Chris Dyson takes an early lead over Luhr.
ALMS - Lime Rock: Green fl... Oh, no it's not. Looks like Luhr put the hammer down a bit too early.
ALMS - Lime Rock: Luhr leads the cars away on their formation lap. Air temperature is a balmy 32 degrees Celsius at the moment.
