Hawkeye122: But, still not my French-Canadian-German fellow multi-culturalist DTM Champion awesome guy. Yes, let it be clearly known, I am a Spengler fan. And, yeah, Mortara and the rest aren't fast enough for DTM wins.
Ganassi makes Mortara look slow and consistent. Too much of this "I don't care about this, I want to win every race, set fastest lap, and forever be known as Scott Vettel, because I can set fastest lap time by rolling over Starworks cars." It needs to stop.
Still more proof of Ganassi... And, yes, give Hand a long enough time to at least understand the rules of DTM; he led at Norisring, and came close to winning. I don't think speed is his problem. I think the starts, restarts, pit stops, and the general "mundane" aspects of racing let him down.
Aces? Mortara? I still disagree.

Don't tell me you still believe Montoya started that whole thing at Indy. Again, that was Ryan that started that by running Montoya into the grass. I know Montoya is aggressive, but its one-sided to blame Everything on him.
Also, I'm sure its ONLY Montoya ( and Roja's when he gets desperate) that overly aggressive, not all of the Ganassi drivers.

Scott Pruett is a good driver, but Montoya and Memo give Ganassi a bad image in Grand Am. I do think Montoya was in the wrong for crashing Dalziel at Indy just because the 02 car was not in any position for the championship. Personally, I was more mad when the Stevenson Camaro was crashed by Memo.

Agree 100% 👍
Back to Montoya and others.
I remember when Fogerty in the red dragon had his moments too.
No so lately.
Oh, and don't forget Max the Ax.
I love the series and it's participants, it can be very exciting at times.
I'm looking for a great year of racing and have my Lime Rock tickets already.
ALMS and the final Grand-Am race, ever, I guess.
Merry Christmas to all

He was racing hard, but Dalziel put himself in that position by putting him in the grass and getting himself spun out, don't see how you can expect a driver to suddenly stop in grass thats still wet from the rain. That 02 was there to assist Ganassi for the other championship, the NAEC just like the second Starworks car was there as well). Again, its not entirely Montoya's fault.

Counting all the entries in each class I have:
14 DP entries
33 GT entries
7 GX entries
That does include some entries are yet to be filled.
In the DP class we are yet to announce the drivers for the #6 and #60 MSR cars and the drivers in the #8 Starworks Motorsport.
In the GT's, TRG is to announce their drivers but I do know theirs 3 TRG cars (#66, #67 and #68). Muehler Motorsport is to announce their #19 pilots. And though he does not have a number Nick Tandy will be racing with, as we all know, Orbit Racing.
And the only unfilled seats in the GX class is the #00 and #36 SpeedSource Mazda's.
With numbers like that is it possible for any more new teams to come? So many new entries arrived in the last week that I found.

That's only 54 cars. I've read that it's possible to have 70+ on track.

Mac KBoo hiss..No live stream?
None that I know if. grand-am.com might show it, but they haven't announced it on the website.
DP news: Jim Lowe has found a sponsor for select events in 2013 including the Rolex 24. That puts the DP car count up to 17 for the 24.

Heck, I'll do it for free. Someone go to it, and FaceTime me so then I can re-broadcast and commentate.

If I lived in Daytona Beach, or close enough where it wouldn't be way out of my way, I would take you up on that offer. grand-am.com will have the session results along with a few short videos.

Can you find us lap times, too? The fastest guys @ Roar have the best setups, and setups often help win 24.
