Bourret and Gibon have won the VdeV-GT-Series in an IMSA-Porsche this year, so they are no slouches either..

The guy running the show is pleased with the whole bunch, anyway. That counts for a lot in my mind.

Grand Am website says "TV Schedule TBA" other than Daytona which is on SPEED. However, unless something shocking happens, I doubt the rest of the Rolex Series will be on anywhere else other than SPEED, unless they move it to speed2 online.

ALMS will have race reviews on ESPN2 and ABC, and live streaming will be available on the ALMS website as well as ESPN3. Very easy to follow the ALMS.

That Brumos Porsche looks very sharp indeed. A simple but classic look. I just saw a pic of the Flying Lizards DP and it looks good too with the red and silver. I hope ONE show this downunder (if so it wont be live, probably highlights).

I'm not really up to speed on the GA rule book. How different is that Brumos 911 from, say, a GTC ALMS Porsche?

Different enough to make it a major PITA to convert it from one spec to the other... at least for this year, last year last year's Grand Am Porsches were allowed in GTC without any major modifications, but I believe that has come to an end... so no, probably no Brumos Porsche at Sebring.

Indeed! Still, I have always liked the fact that have been able to keep the same livery going for all these years.

Three pictures from Mark Blundell's Twitter feed from the Daytona test... that cooling vent perched on top of the helmet looks really really awkward.

Also, nice to see 2MB (Brundle and Blundell) back in the same racing car.

Don't get too worked up, or focus too much on testing times. Some teams aren't coming close to trying for a fast lap... things will change for race weekend.

I'm surprised how little whining we actually hear from the Mazdas... Not sure if that's good or bad.
