2017 IMSA WeatherTech SCC - Round 3: Long BeachSports Cars

[mwoodski]

The Cadillac engine is absolutely perfect for Long Beach. Add in the fact that the WTR boys have won Long Beach the past two years and it's not surprising to see them on top. Different cars will favor different tracks, no matter how much you try to balance them all.

Plus, Cadillac had more testing and development in it than the other two DPi manufactures, it's expected that they'll do very well.

And let the record show that the #31 only managed 5th, with the #55 and #85 beating them out for 3rd and 4th.

No support races on today before the race?

Heard them mention something about "Can-Am's" during qualifying? So not sure if they're actually having a race or not before the IMSA event.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

On the IMSA app schedule I saw nothing but the main race

(It's Long Beach, IMSA is one of the many support races for Indycar)

Which have qualifying 45 minutes after the race today.

Edited: I need my head examined.

Hey guys, continuing the trend from earlier races, I've just bumped this into its own thread for Long Beach talk. I figured @IforceV8's info post was an appropriate OP, let me know if there's anything I missed! 👍

I was going to use one of those famous GTP multi-quotes but I'll just leave it at this, +20kg/-70HP/-9L fuel/ and still domination by 2 teams that have no experience with P2 cars over teams that have years of running P2 and PC chassis.

GT should be awesome if Ed Brown doesnt hold everybody up.

 

[Dsavage27]

Is the race really only 100 minutes long?

These cars are doing laps in just over 1 minute so it's good racing, fast paced.

 

[Northstar]

Which have qualifying 3 hours after the race today.

IndyCar qualifying is only 45 minutes after the IMSA race.

IndyCar qualifying is only 45 minutes after the IMSA race.

I have no idea how I screwed that up.

Taxicabs running on Fox now racing in front of lots of empty aluminum, time to fire up that Opera VPN.

Stream is up.

 

[FutureF1]

Can anyone tell me how to activate and make the Opera VPN system work for me? FSGo has just let me down for the upteenth time

I'd like to know too for pretty much the same damn reason.

 

[IforceV8]

It's like I can see the future happening...

 

[Panoz]

Ed Brown have became a hated man among the Ferrari, Ford and Vette fans.

What do you expect when the P cars have cardboard tires compared to the Michelins.

 

[catamount39]

There something wrong with the #70's LED board? The position number is yellow?

 

[IforceV8]

Oh look Fox finally showed up.

 

[FutureF1]

Oh look Fox finally showed up.

Oh nice. I can finally watch the race...

 

[IforceV8]

IMSA radio can fill the commercials.

 

[catamount39]

Oh my God that Ford looks so ****ed.

 

[IforceV8]

The crowd at LB is 3 times bigger than they had in Texas.

The crowd at LB is 3 times bigger than they had in Texas.

I wonder why?

 

[Eh Team]

I'm almost peeing myself seeing and hearing how well the Mazdas are running, fastest laps of the race consecutively before the caution makes me happy.

 

[FutureF1]

There have literally been as many FCCs this race than there have been ad breaks from FOX...

EDIT: Scratch that FOX just went on another break during the FCC

 

[IforceV8]

So the AXR car has about 5 pit lane penalties coming, question is will the rules be enforced.

yep

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Well, that was a giant logjam there.
