Anybody out there following the Grand Am?

Going off the results from the Roar here (because I can't find an entry list), its four.

Don't see a fifth one.

I thought AJR, RBR and APR were separate teams doing their own programme and not supported by Audi Sport Customer Racing with Audi Sport Customer Racing doing their own effort carrying #74.

I think the 74 was supposed to be the Oryx car as some have said, but it looks like that didn't happen.

Everyone ready for the Final season of Grand-Am? Should be exciting. Seems like all the teams are very aware that this season will be the last time someone walks away with a Grand-Am trophy.

So for those that didn't like the all black version of the 6 race car:

^Woah

Updated post with video.

Anyone else think this car would look fantastic as a V8Supercar?

Just to clarify, everyone is talking about this.

Seen here.

We'll see what happens when it comes to green flag time, but I don't think Grand-Am would write an article about four Audi's racing in the event and get it wrong.

Speed will broadcast 2012 Rolex 24 special by Mad Media (which have produce some awesome shows, movies) on Jan 20th at 6 PM PST/9 PM EST.

I wish I could view but don't have cable.

^Thanks for the tip 👍

I feel like I've seen that before.. oh wait.

Anytime! I'm pretty sure they made the NOS drink commercial with drifting in early AM along with all the Mint 400 shows since it started up again. Those are all I can think of right now but be much better than actual race coverage I think.

Didn't see it already. My bad. Although, I don't mind getting a second look.

Too bad can't share it with me! I have to find a way to see it if I'm lucky but I'm sure some how it will find it's way on YouTube.

 

[Diehardracer]

Just to clarify one error on the entry list. Both the #20 and #21 all Brazilian line-ups at Dener Racing has Richardo Maurico and Nono Figueredo competing. Which number are they racing with?

Also, I take it Grand-Am TV will also be streaming the race live?

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Why must I be the oddball? I prefered the black 6 over that orange, even though I like orange.


Any word on which car is actually the final paint? I'd personally like to see both. Twice the chances to win for Mazda!

 

[cnd01]

There will be an announcement regarding another new DP manufacturer entering the mix. I'm thinking it's a Skyactiv diesel Mazda, a Nissan, possibly a new Porsche engine, or it might just be an Audi DP. My personal hope is a V10 Dodge viper engine for a DP.

 

[CodeRedR51]

It NEEDS to be Nissan.

Please let it be Nissan...

Has Aston Martin been officially confirmed? If not its probably them, they've been interested for ages.

 

[Mr.Skyline09]

^This I've been hearing these rumors too but we'll have to wait and see.

Is it for the reason I think it is?

 

[hawkeye122]

Maybe Kia are stepping up their game? A Forte in CTSCC just isn't enough exposure.

 

[cnd01]

It might be the Lola-Multimatic pairing now that's announcing. I've heard it will be multiple companies announcing. I bet Aston Martin will be one of the announcements.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Well they need some outlets for GT Academy winners. I know for sure Bryan won't be back in the Continental Tire series this year. He said he's got plans, but hasn't said what yet...

Where are you hearing this from? Where can we expect the announcements to be made and when?

John Dagys and his Twitter. The announcements will be made at the Rolex 24.
