Again , another nicely put together starting page . Nice one dude .

cmk · 19 Aug 2008, 16:53 (Ref:2271644)

Biggest change I see on the entry list - no Farnbacher-Loles Porsche!

HORNDAWG · 19 Aug 2008, 17:19 (Ref:2271666)

Hmm, and they are right with Risi in team points for third at the moment. ??

I hope it was an oversight, and they will be at the race.

or maybe they just figured they won once, so they are done! hahaha

cmk · 19 Aug 2008, 20:07 (Ref:2271791)

I'm hoping that they just have not got their entry in yet, but since it is <2 weeks until the race, that is rather late for absent entries to suddenly appear. This is normally the window where things start to disappear!

HORNDAWG · 25 Aug 2008, 23:12 (Ref:2275291)

Hope Vici gets the #18 repaired and back on the grid for Belle Isle.

Intersport will not have its No. 30 car for Detroit, as it suffered a nasty accident at Mosport. So it's back to one car for them. Jon, Clint and Richard are drivers as usual.

Fogelhund · 26 Aug 2008, 01:27 (Ref:2275312)

Farnbacher Loles is not an oversight, they are choosing to prepare for PLM instead.

Qualifying will be broadcast on Speed with Hindy, streaming again. I'll post a link once I receive it.

HORNDAWG · 26 Aug 2008, 01:54 (Ref:2275318)

This should be the link for "Q"ing live stream for the Detroit race, or at least Marshall thinks so.

Once the stream is online, you can get the link by right mouse click --> properties and copying the link for media player.

The reason I used the spotters guide that I did, is, it is the ten-tenths sanctioned spotters guide.

The link I provided for the Qing is exactly what you are referring to, but with a title.
If what I have provided is offending or troublesome in some way I guess I could stop putting out the effort to make it more convenient for my fellow forum members!

Looking forward to see the new B-K Lola.

Will be interesting to see how it goes, especially after Sebah over here have done well.

WMUCarGuy · 27 Aug 2008, 00:25 (Ref:2275986)

Man I wish Guy Cosmo was still driving for Mazda. Cosmo/Devlin would be such a fantastic combo.

It's actually a simple case of being over committed at the NJ GA race--they're running 5 cars there.

2 big announcements on Friday at Detroit. More later.

That's correct. Friday, 4:30-5:30 PM ET. Still waiting on the press release to be approved with the more official detials, but that URL is the one.

NJ Grand-Am Rolex Quali is also being streamed on Saturday for those that are interested.

Any hints as to these announcements? Corsa perhaps?

The359 · 27 Aug 2008, 14:55 (Ref:2276331)

I imagine Corsa might be a given, considering when else are they going to announce it? Unless something's been delayed.......

PLM do a fantastic extensive range of entry lists, but the Ten-Tenths/RLM/DSC/Speed Spotter Guides are more of a visual guide at the track or at home TBH.

Hence why the car images dominate the guide and I know of four commentary teams using them

We try to ensure all our car images, tyre companies etc are up to date and we are largely successful at that. With the help of our partners, we've also been able to show off quite a few exclusives during the season too.

btw - PLM has quite a few errors on tyres and out of date or missing images, so use our guide for the latest info!

I did take the decision to include all ALMS entries this year, and this has prooved to be over complicated, so from PLM, I will be showing only those entries on the entry list, which covers the above issue and compliments the ALMS entry list PDF which is also linked in the first post. I will continue this through 09

Just to ensure no-one gets upset (as I have recieved a couple of nasty emails in the past.... but the +ive emails easily outweight these-so thanks). There are two other guides available. ALMS themselves do/did one (not updated since Lime Rock) and Last Turn Club also do a guide, which includes extra info like crash helmets, schedule etc.

Take your choice from these four guides!

Lastly, the Detriot guide will be online Thursday. Small update this time around, driver change here and there and a small update to a couple of logos on the new VICI livery.
