they keep moving the tires further and further up the hill, yet people keep running into the barriers just past where the tires stop. Just tire the whole damn stretch. Although with Keso, it didn't matter much.

Hey, they are trying to line 285 and 85 with tires. It might take a min and there are ladders in the way but our Atlanta drivers are doing their best

In an article on S365, Scott Sharp thinks the p2's will be competitive at Laguna. But the part that was interesting to me was the comment about weight:

Quote:
“I’m expecting the LMP2-spec cars to be very fast,” Sharp told Sportscar365. “With the lack of the long straightaway, it’s really going to appeal to a car that’s 100 pounds lighter than everybody.
I guess I didn't realize that the P2's were so much lighter. Is the extra weight in DPi's mandated? or just an artifact of the cars who are competing?

Yet the rules show them at the same weight, except for the Caddy being heavier by BoP.

So perhaps it is just an issue of making the minimum weight for the Nissan and Mazda cars.

Would be interesting to see the actual car weights imsa records during the events.

We know the Riley in general is overweight, and supposedly the Nissan engine is heavier than preferable.

ligier, oreca and very likely dallara lmp2 are lighter than 900kg and reach reg. min. 930kg because of mandatory ballast.
Cadillac dpi and Nissan dpi use heavier engines than gibson motor.

In an article post daytona, I've read that max angelelli speculated that cadillac dpi was about 50kg overweight (about 980kg) that more or less is basically the same extra weight Sharp was talking about (100pounds = 45kg).
Anyway is a sort of "compensation handicap": cadillac and nissan have same power of aco lmp2, but much more torque. It's quite fair that these cars must to be heavier after all.

About riley-multimatic, the very ACO lmp2 spec is/was over weighted, for sure it was mazda dpi too.

For records, in the whole 2007-2010 lifespan 908 Hdi was always heavier than min. 930kg. Over weighted cars are quite common in motorsport, 2017 mercedes f1 was too in first races.

And the livery does a decent job of accenting parts around it to make it look much more like the street Nissan treatment. Not a great look but I can see their idea.
