With my work schedule, I'm unsure if I'll be able to do the Monza round next week.
 
Busy as hell last few days. Not much time for GTP stuff, but did get a spy shot of a rumoured ToCA13 contender at Red Bull Ring... :) :)

Tables will be up friday / saturday hopefully.
 
Not going to do any testing for Monza as there isn't any point as I know however much practice I get i'll still be a stupid amount off the pace due to the weak straight line ability of the Nissan. The only hope for a decent result will rely on others making major mistakes.
 
Swiftsmith, Frasier, Matheus, and a couple others all being removed from entry list.

Just to let you know Furi, I won't be racing at Nuburgring and at Bathurst.

During the Nurburgring weekend I have a high school test (ENEM, :() and during the Bathurst weekend I'll be in Interlagos for the 6 Hours of São Paulo. :D

I hear that'll be the last WEC race for that track for at least 2015 where I hear there'll be some work done on the pit buildings. Am I right on that one?

And what do you guys think of the 6 Hours of the Nurburgring being announced for the 2015 WEC calendar?

Yes.

Good for the Euro fans, cheap travel for one more round. The P1H teams now all have home races too.

Since motorsport isn't the sport which has the most coverage, so I'm honestly behind in the pit build issue. All I know they're working as I speak to get them done for the F1 race in the weekend of our Nurburgring race (for the second consecutive year I won't be able to watch it because I'll be doing a huge national test, 🤬 hate it). So if they're getting it done for the F1 race of this year, it should be another positive thing to bring the WEC guys next season, not to change the race with Nurburgring...
 
The 6 hour races are getting old. They should use different distances to spruce it up.

FIA ( and ACO ) Logic : Calling WEC as the World Championship - agree IMSA to make USCC and blocking opportunity for Sebring 12h and Petit Le Mans to make into calendar

But you're right Lancer , we have 7 six hour races this season ( plus maybe another 7 which was in ILMC or are currently shortened for ELMS / USCC / ALMS )
 
Don't get me wrong, I find Nurb fairly uninspiring for endurance racing. From time to time though, it has its good moments, so I'll reserve my judgement until I see the race Toyota win. :P
 
Stewarding Results (had to backtrack through PMs for these)

Coming into effect immediately from R4/5/6 Cape - any driver found to be at fault in 3 incidents receives a 5pts championship penalty as well automatically. Stewards reserve right to take further action if said behaviour gets worse over season period. @snowgt @Siggers @gtpanoz


Race 1:
@DK @nascarfan1400 - 5 seconds penalty for each for an all race "battle". Or door smashing. Or lovers tiff. Or just plain over the top aggression. 5 second penalty. Changes result from 12th DK 13th Nas 14th @RyanRacer to 12th Ryan 13th DK 14th Ryan.


Race 2:
@PatrisS136 - No time penalty can be applied as it would not have an effect, but you did cause a substantial avoidable accident. Hopefully will not happen again.


Race 3:
@nascarfan1400 - You might be used to tougher racing, but you crossed a line. Incidents with DK (x2) and @Yeratel84 earn you a 20 second penalty and change you from 14th to 15th swapping with Pat.

@AudiMan2011 - Silly mistake with Yeratel. Don't do it again. +5 seconds on you, changing order from 9th AudiMan, 10th Ryan, 11th @GTracer98 to 10th Ryan, 11th GTRacer, 12th Audiman.

Hopefully that is last Stewards report of this size I need to do for some time. Strikewise:

~ @nascarfan1400 2
~ @DK 1
~ @PatrisS136 1
~ @AudiMan2011 1


Pts to be adjusted, updated, and posted by friday.
