Production Car Racing (GT4, CTSCC, PWC GTS/TC, MX-5 Cup, etc)Touring Cars

[Northstar]

But the layout is more modern GT style with Multi class, I understand touring cars back in the day had that but im talking more of a modern spin to it.

The normal sprint GTS races only have GTS cars, the GT3 and TC/TCA/TCB classes have separate races.

The GTS class is the only single class series in PWC...it's only GTS/GT4 cars.

PWC loses me frequently with their bizarre motor-trend-on-demand limited racing coverage, sporadic CBS coverage, and way too many classes, etc. I'm also not a big fan of shorter "sprint" style races. I think buried in there is a decent product, but if I can't watch it without paying into a special channel, etc. I won't bother.

The racing is decent but the entire presentation is a bit of a mess and that kills it for me. The complete YouTube coverage and longer races make me lean heavily towards CTSCC.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

You either watch it live when it airs or on demand with the MotorTrend app subscription. I hate that. And then they air almost randomly on CBS Sports Network in a week or so after. It's certainly not the easiest to watch unless you know what you're doing.

I like the race length, it's in the middle. Not too long but long enough make the drivers and tires have to "endure".

 

[Northstar]

My only real problem with PWC is that they play second fiddle alot so they're races are usually on right away in the morning.

 

[TheElbows]

Yep, and I'm not sure about other cable providers but mine will say PWC: GTS at Laguna Seca...and it'll be TC/TCA etc. instead. Very inconsistent.

I just used the live stream on their website last season. Never had any issues with it.

That sounds like a cable provider issue.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the format at PWC, especially for GTS and TC. There was great racing in both classes, in all sub-classes, all year long. For me actually, the GT class is the weakest class in PWC as far as what is fun to watch.

Flying Lizard to run 2 Porsche Cayman GT4 in PWC GTS, with Baptista and Stacey as drivers.

Good to see Nate Stacey getting a look from both Flying Lizard, and from the article, it seems he may be popping up on Porsche's radar as well. Good for him. He's a fun driver to watch, and seems like a pretty decent guy, from the few interviews I've seen.

Edit: article aslo says they'll be using Cayman GT4 Clubsport MRs - where the MR stands for Manthey Racing.

Here's an article from a while back on Speed Hunters about Manthey Racing. Near the end, Paddy snaps a few photos and talks about the new Cayman MRs.

Daytona entry list 20/20 http://competitors.imsa.com/sites/d...bmw_performance_challenge_pre-event_entry.pdf

So GS field more than doubled, and ST dropped a few cars.

Across the two classes, 19 are Porsches. Hate to see that ST dropped a lot of cars, but I would still say that 40 is not a bad number. Can't wait for next week!

That's odd. Usually when I catch PWC, its "PWC: GT at Lime Rock Park" followed by "PWC: GTS at Lime Rock Park". I know Sprint X has more then likely thrown a wrench in the works when it comes to schedules, but it usually works for me. If I recall, I think you can still catch livestreams on their site.

Just heard on MWM that Stevenson will return to Conti in a GT4 Camaro.

You... You mean production based Mustang vs. Camaro racing is in the wings...???




That is, of course, along side roughly 7000 Porsches.

 

[TheElbows]

They had some of that before...but it wasn't as balanced as a potential GT4 showdown could be.

This year? Or next season in 2018?

At Sebring, next race.

Anyone know if the CTSCC qualifying sessions will be available to view afterwords?

 

[IforceV8]

That is a good question.

I believe they were last year, but I can't be certain.

Cool. Can't watch it live as it happens in a couple hours and I am at work for another 5.
