#62 lost TC, ABS, steering and the engine. Came in, fiddled with the fuse box and the car is back on track. #911 to the lead!

Know or work for the right people; the fans are usually close friends or employees of a company that's partnered. No fan is going to go running to another team anyway so the confidential info isn't an issue.

If anything, the majority of the incidents leading to penalties were more because the Pro teams thought they were all PC drivers rather than drivers flat abusing the limits.

I just start asking questions and most people are more than happy to talk to you. At an IMSA event all fans have that access as long as you go down to the paddock. No extra money needed, no special credentials needed.
During the race you need special credentials to get to the pits. It's unlike NASCAR events in which you need to pay for such access to the teams and drivers.
And oh yeah, them Conti girls!!
Here some other girls from WGI and Lime Rock this year.

Just got finished watching the tape delayed broadcast that I DVR'd. I didn't even notice when I hit record a couple days ago that it was being broadcast at 2 AM. What the hell kind of coverage is that, 2 in the morning???
Happy to see WTR take the win, good battle at the end. Feel bad for the #62 Risi they just can't catch a break, would have been a special win for them at home. Was glad the #67 Ford ran into problems and sat in the garage, even though Milner didn't have a great finish it gave the #4 a bit of a cushion in points going into Petit LeMans.

Race was on FS2 live because as we all in the US know, college football trumps pretty much everything but the NFL at this time of year. FS1 had a game (don't remember who was playing) which is why it was FS2.
Gavin was saying the the 4 Vette needs to finish 7th or better to clinch the championship.

Totally forgot about that. I can't knock it though cus I watch college football and atleast that makes sense to put that in priority over the race, unlike women's gymnastics or bowling or some stupid **** like that they've done in the past. But why not broadcast the tape delay on FS1 today at a normal time like they usually do. 2am?...not great exposure.

I just want NBC to get the contract already...sick and tired of Faux. Not as bad as ESPN/ABC but close.

Looks like someone was busy this weekend collecting goods. Nice!
I can't make out the signatures on the wheel.
I've decided to make a table from my Tony Kanaan wheel from years ago. I just need to find a tempered glass top and I'll have my cockpit side table for racing online.

John Pew will not be returning in 2017.
Say what you want about his skills, but I've never heard anything bad about him as a person and he's pretty much the only reason MSR has been able to be competitive with little to no sponsorship. I wish him the best of luck on his next adventure.

Shank seemed sad to be letting him go, it's unfortunate they had to part ways, but so is motorsport I guess. Hopefully Pew finds himself in a racer soon.John Pew will not be returning in 2017.

I saw a transport named Dream Racing Motorsport during rush hour this morning, nice truck really. Are they running in California next?

I really hope they use the engine from the aborted LMP-1 effort, but even if they don't, it's still nice to see that they haven't given up on top-tier prototype racing. I hope they do well, and if Derani is still on the roster, that team will be an absolute force to be reckoned with.

So the ESM next year will be a Factory Nissan-DPi?

Pretty sure its the same engine the LMP2 cars have been using so not sure why the concern over that.

It's a 2 car effort, so it will probably be Brown/Sharp in one with hopefully 2 pros in the other.
My understanding of it is that Nissan is helping with the engine but they are on their own as far as the aero kit.
Also, Dagys has a preview of the P class.
