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

Way better than the all-white they were sporting at the roar. 👍

I'm curious to see what kind of performance they can achieve this year.

 

[catamount39]

Well it was much closer to the DP's and LMP2's at the Roar I heard. And the times were proving that. It's progress.

 

[RACECAR]

I loved the white it had at the Roar, but this color combination is great too.

Speaking of liveries:

Love the hell out of this. I hope it glows in the dark.

 

[catamount39]

By God that's awesome!

Yeah it seemed like they had made some good progress last year by the time they got to Petit. Real good straight line speed as I recall.

ZOMG, that would be killer if it glows in the dark!

 

[cnd01]

I still can't get myself to like the new HPD regardless of livery. It's just a weird looking car

 

[catamount39]

Something interesting to think about for the upcoming season. Hey as long as we don't have another Daytona or Sebring disaster then swag.

Last year someone posted a spotter's guide with profile shots of each entrant car. Anyone got that for this year? Daytona has become the unofficial start of the racing season (and therefore summer) for me and I am pumped!!!

Here maybe.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

Here maybe.

Ohhhh just noticed my mate Rory is entered! He's kept that quiet.

Surprised they haven't put pat long with Patrick Dempsey.

 

[raven214]

Here maybe.

Thanks!

I figured he would be back in the #911/912 - whichever he was in last year. Didn't realize he was out of that car. Does he have a ride this year?

 

[IforceV8]

Long will run Daytona with Falken and I believe a full season with Dempsey-Proton in the WEC in GTE-Am.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

Thanks!

Yeah he's doinb WEC with long for Porsche.

 

[catamount39]

Is Aston Martin doing the NAEC races this year in Tudor?

 

[cnd01]

Is Aston Martin doing the NAEC races this year in Tudor?

Yes with 1 car. Lamy, Dalla Lana, Turner, Mucke, and Lauda for the D24

Sweet! Glad to have an Aston in GTLM (GTE).

 

[raven214]

Will the SkyActive Mazda's be at all competitive this year, or still a joke? I know they're "developmental" and all but when they can't even keep up with their own class - or finish a race - it's a little sad.

 

[catamount39]

They seemed better in testing IIRC.

They found 7 seconds and 20mph over last year.

Track is green for 1st practice.

[Panoz]

Pole winning cars for the Rolex 24

The Shank Ligier HPD for Prototype
#4 Corvette for GT-LM.
A SpongeBob sponsored car got PC pole.
And the TRG Aston leading GT-D.

On a special note, @Christhedude put his Porsche 3rd in the GT-D class.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Anyone have the results for the Continental series qualifying? Website won't load for me for some reason.

 

[IforceV8]

Nick in 7th then the engine blew up so they start 9th. http://www.imsatiming.com/Results/2015/CTSC/01-Daytona/CTSC Rolex 24 Daytona Qualifying.pdf

 

[catamount39]

Yes! Aston on the pole in GTD?! Sweet!

And congrats to @Christhedude !

 

[raven214]

Anyone have a link to full qualifying results for TUSC? I can't find crap on IMSA's website. 👎

Thanks.

Are the Altimas running this year?

 

[IforceV8]

Thanks.

Dont know,but considering how bad their BoP was in ST I would guess they will run PWC.

 

[Snaeper]

Any word on why Shank's car is red now? Did they get in trouble for the chrome or what?

New Marque On The Way, Destination TBD

We could have a new GT marque coming to race in the Tudor Championship later this season. I’ll have the full details early next week, and based on initial discussions, racing in IMSA and a European WEC campaign is under consideration.

A new GT marque for GTLM, unless there's a typo and they meant to say ELMS, which could mean a new GTD contender, too (but not Lamborghini, since we already know about that).

Any guesses on the possibilities?
