Current top-5 after two laps
Wilson, Clarke, Servia, Jani and Tracy; Bourdais stalled on-course when the caution came out and lost several spots......race control reporting he may have hit the engine "kill" switch which is why he stalled

Caution's out, caution's out!
Race control reporting the #11 of Katherine Legge has crashed in the turn 2 area; she is out of the car, but her race is done
Race control reporting that the first pit window should be around lap 33 or so; any teams pitting now will be gambling on late cautions to avoid making an extra stop

During the caution Robert Doornbos and Mario Dominguez pitted for fuel and tires
Green's back out!

Watching the on-board telemetry, it appear some of the drivers could be attempting a 2-stop as opposed to a 3-stop strategy................the later portions of the race could be very interesting!
