^ Very nice

Looks like the Aston Martin is running some kind of art car livery similar to the 97 at Le Mans last year

Right on 👍 The special Lemans livery was a play off the Gulf livery. This appears to be the same livery, only they're using new colors that reflect their new sponsors.

 

[RACECAR]

Ironically enough, it is the 97.

 

[Sam48]

It may even be the same car for all I know.

Also, I got to say, the Risi machine looks even more spectacular without logos and sponsors.

There's a feud going down on twitter right now between Ryan Eversley and Magnus Racing.

Edit: To make it easier.

[Mac K]

Neither of which are known for taking themselves to seriously

 

[GTPorsche]

No, it actually turned out to be a very interesting way of announcing this: http://www.magnusracing.com/news/20...webcast-to-return-during-rolex-24-at-d-1.html

HA! That was hilarious to watch. It looked suspicious to begin with, but it got really funny the more other people chimed in. I applaud the move and it's good to see Eversley working with Magnus for the webcast of their Rolex 24

The only kind of traffic jam I like to see!

 

[Mac K]

No tires, curbs, grass, walls, other cars, etc are safe..

And 1/3 of the field never finished.

This is gonna be awesome, can't wait!!

Gonna be strange not seeing a Brumos livery out there for a Daytona 24.

Closest thing you'll get

Just to make it more apparent how close we are to the new season.

Scott Tuckers driving both L5 Ferrari's in the Rolex.

Scott Tuckers driving both L5 Ferrari's in the Rolex.

Why...

 

[Snaeper]

Why does that surprise you? Didn't he do the same with the P2's?

 

[Mac K]

Simple answer is because he can.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Why does that surprise you? Didn't he do the same with the P2's?

Cause I'm not that use to it, and it's not a norm obviously. Just wondering if money was an issue so they have a driver pulling double duty.

 

[cnd01]

Why does that surprise you? Didn't he do the same with the P2's?

Exactly. When you own and fund the team, you can drive as many cars as you want.

I was shocked at the way they left the sport. I could've sworn they said something about taking a year off then possibly returning, but maybe my mind just wants that to be the case. Their's was one of the best looking cars out there, really.

 

[GTPorsche]

They're planning on returning later this year.

 

[RACECAR]

Why...

For the exact same reason he did in in the LMP2 cars: To ensure he gets maximum points.

 

[Sam48]

They're planning on returning later this year.

Possibly in a new 991 RSR like Core has. Speaking of Porsche, I can't wait for Falken Tire to show up at Sebring with their new machine.

For real!? That would be great to see!

Thanks RACECAR for an actual answer.

 

[GTPorsche]

Yeah, if everything works out for them. They need sponsors mostly.

 

[Snaeper]

Indeed, there's a debate on either using the GT America or the RSR, though the difference between the two is $2 million dollars for no bump in prize money, no additional TV coverage, etc. The only reason they're considering it (the RSR) is because they want an all-pro team.

I'd ideally like to see the Brumos team return with an RSR, but I understand that money is a difficult obstacle in the way of that.
