No, it says it was 2nd to the Norma.

http://ppihc.livetiming.net/ppihc/ says it did a 9:33, Dumas did a 9:05.

Not your fault - Hondafan misread it as well and unintentionally misrepresented it in his post.

Yes of course, I made the mistake. Excuse me!!!!

Is it just me or is the coverage of this series just getting worse and worse. MotorTrend on demand has lacklustre coverage put up weeks after the races, and then sometimes it's only highlights, then no live stream for race two this weekend?

Really poor considering how well SRO does with other series it's involved in

What's the technical differences between Peter Cunningham's Acura TLX GT, James Robinson's Acura NSX and Nick Robinson's Acura TLX A-Spec?

Everything.

PD's car is the old PWC car, the others are essentially street cars.

For the Pikes Peak event, you can build or run anything. They will find or make a class for you. So determining a spec is pretty much impossible for most classes. The event has lost it's luster since it's all paved. Due to the altitude change, the upper switchback is as interesting as watching the 250cc 2 cycle motorcross bikes run up there when it was dirt. No power and thus pretty easy to navigate. You have to remember, the finish is over 14K ft in altitude. So, at least with the high horsepower cars on dirt, it was interesting, with all of the grip on tarmac, not so.

I made the mistake at camping at over 13K one year and never again. Froze my butt off and there's no trees to block the wind. Picnic ground is much better.

Confirmation of Porsche entering the California eight hour race at Laguna Seca. Most likely with one of our PWC teams.

Most of the entrants will be PWC teams

Hopefully there is a good turn out of PWC regulars. If a good solid field can be assembled, We could be in for a really awesome event.

TRspitfirefan · 6 Jul 2017, 14:39 (Ref:3749292)

Possibility of an entry for ESM at the Laguna Seca race.

Purely speculation on my part, but I think the California 8 hour race would be a good fit for the AJR Audi team.
Probably just wishful thinking.
