Some footage from this weekend's Roar Before the 24:
And for those who love time lapse like I do:
Interesting things to notice:
- The Deltawing seems to be running both with and without that little triangular piece on the fin. It also appears to be quick enough to actually keep up with the DPs and P2s.
- The BMW-powered Rileys appear to have been updated with side exhausts, which has given the Dinen power abit moar of a richer sound.
- The Ecoboost V6s sound abit nastier this time around, definately more easy to tell them apart from the HPDs.
- Interestingly, the Ferrari 458s are the only cars in GTD not equipped with wider width Wings. The R8s have it, the Vipers have it, the Vantage V12s have it, the Z4 has it and even the narrow 911 GT3 Americas have it but not the 458

How easy is it to get paddock access at the TUSC events? I've been thinking about going to Belle Isle for one of the events, but I wanted to know how easy it is to access the pits as a fan. My dad and I go to the NHRA Summit Nationals (partially cause of cheap tickets) but mainly because of the atmosphere. After going there, my dad said that he probably wouldn't be going to any other auto racing event that doesn't have easy access to the pits.

I was at Road Atlanta this past year and the paddock access is very similar to the NHRA. I got very close to the RLL BMWs and the Corvettes while they're going though tech inspections on the first day.

It very similar at Road America, before the race all the cars where lined up in the pits and u could walk up ,touch em , meet the drivers "most of em" and take pic's with the grid girls etc.

Went to the Rolex and Petit last season and they're still wide open for access especially the Conti guys.

As stated earlier the paddock is all access all the time but pits are not open for the general public.
The only way to the pit road is during the fan walk just before the race.
I will be at LRP and the Glen again this year.

So if I can time my nap for 4-8pm (since I don't get FS2) and actually log into IMSA during a race (this is a crap shoot) I can watch 20 hours of the race

I found out today I have the 24th and 25th off, which is surprising as I usually work on Sundays.
I would try that, unfortunately there are children in the house. I'll just stay up until the early hours on Saturday and sleep in until noon or so.

Deltawing is now red, white and blue. I kinda like it actually.
