I dunno man, the center section definitely looks higher and more bulbous compared to the standard package.

Again though, they gotta work with the Oreca's crash structure under it as well. You can see the Multimatic one in the "grille" of the Mazda.

Tim Keene has reportedly left Shank's team and has went to AXR instead for a top level management role. Story here.

Keene was the GM of MSR before leaving the organization.

Well that's not great for MSR, but great for AXR. Wonder who will replace him at MSR?

Just the GT cars this weekend right?

Correct.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Yep. GT only weekend.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Of all the days Opera's VPN decides it doesn't want to work properly for me, it has to be today....

And the #24 is done with power steering problems.

#25 BMW is flying. Where's that "Fast" art livery when you need it.

Karam should be parked.

 

[Michelin Man]

Really naughty by Sage in the #14, pushing the #93 off when it had the run, then brake-testing #93 at least once . In fairness to Legge in the #93, she gave the #14 at least a car lengths room to go side-by-side, and the #14 gained the place, so don't see why Sage needed to take matters in to his own hands...

Edit: Looks like the #14 has got his comeuppance.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Stop and hold for 60 for Sage. Should have been longer.
Then proceeds to go to the wrong box on top of it when he goes in to serve the penalty. Just like @IforceV8 said, should have been parked.

 

[Michelin Man]

Cack, both NSX's are now behind the wall .

Vilander driving like he stole it. Love the aggressiveness. Welcome back Risi!

 

[jake2013guy]

Sage clearly thinks Hawksworth was much faster in the corner.


He's still trying.

 

[IforceV8]

Shank just told Fox that Karam will never drive one of his cars and it is not a accident he doesnt have a ride in Indycar.

Stern words from Michael Shank

Damn. That's brutal.

It's not an accident that he doesn't have an IndyCar ride. It's multiple accidents. Although he is quick.

 

[Northstar]

You can certainly tell he got his start with Ganassi.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Damn. That's brutal.

Quick to find trouble on track be it crashing or boneheaded incidents like the one he caused with Legge. Seems like he spends more time on the sidelines due to a DNF from his inability to control his emotions than he does on the track when he races.

 

[Michelin Man]

It's these GT only races that put into perspective just how quick some of those GTD cars are in a straight line, but also on overall pace really. Especially the Lexus, that really does shift on the straights.

 

[Organ-Donor]

#25 is so far ahead they're already at Laguna Seca

 

[Michelin Man]

But they are marginal on fuel, so it looks quite likely that they could be caught in the latter stages, by the chasing trio.

 

[Organ-Donor]

Great pit by the #3 to put it ahead. What a battle now between the Vette and Ford.

 

[Organ-Donor]

#15 Lexus into the wall

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Pruett managed to limp it to the pits.

 

[Organ-Donor]

What happened to the #62? They were running 2nd

Edit - went off track
