Y'know, considering that teams pedigree, I kind of expected more from them than they've shown this year so far? Maybe it's just me.

Were you expecting immediate wins? 😬 😄
From what we've heard from those inside Ford Performance was that the car was being worked on all the way up until it's very first race. It had only done wind tunnel and track testing. However, what was new was complete dirty turbulent air. It never ran on track with 20 other cars. They simply didn't have the time to come up with every scenario to test.
Remember that the GT40 was a failure when it came out before it was turned into the beautiful majestic creature it is known as today.

Wasn't expecting wins or even really close to the front but it's certainly not Multimatic's first rodeo. Season's early, of course.

Corvette GT3 hasn't exactly came out blazing either. IMSA teams might have been a little better than the WEC ones.

I do enjoy watching commercials of race cars and promos for future commercials.

I am watching the Laguna Seca race right now. I started watching around 50 minutes left in the race, due to some bad weather here in Houston. So I missed a lot of the action prior to this mark. Classic Laguna Seca madness here.

Not a good weekend for Cadillac when involved with traffic it seems.
