Nitpicking time! The 07 Mazda is no more. It is now the 55. (source: http://www.racer.com/imsa/item/12451...ototype-lineup )

Given the Great Porsche DP Debacle of 2009, which Penske got caught up in, I don't see Penske returning to the US sportscar scene anytime soon. Despite recent changes.

Remind me of the said debacle? I don't recall caring of Grand-Am back then (either)

merlot brougham · 15 Dec 2015, 13:07 (Ref:3597947)

Wasn't that when the factory endorsed motor in a DP was the flat 6 but the hot setup was actually a Cayenne based V8 race motor made by someone in...Texas? Factory was not pleased if I recall.

Miguel · 15 Dec 2015, 19:12 (Ref:3597985)

I just wanted to say, 600 euro for a flight to Daytona and back... It's tempting!

Brumos used the Cayenne V8 in their DP to win Daytona in 2009 much to the annoyance of Porsche heh heh.

I forgot about this. They should have entered it as a "Ruf", or a "Darche", or something.

Brumos won the 24 Hours of Daytona over Ganassi. Ganassi whined HARD about the Porsche-engined DPs having a clear and significant power advantage, even though it was clear to anyone with a brain that Brumos just had their car trimmed out more - The Brumos car ran away from Ganassi on the oval sections, but the Ganassi car rapidly closed the gap on the infield sections(to the point where they could make overtaking attempts), and none of the other Porsche-powered DPs(including Penske) were even in the same zip code in the lap times.

Grand-Am sided with Ganassi, and took away a large amount of revs, as well as sixth gear, from all Porsche DPs. All of them were left hideously uncompetitive. Just before Watkins Glen, GA restored half of the removed revs and the sixth gear. The cars were closer but still uncompetitive.

The remaining stolen revs were restored with two races to go. Brumos took a second win at the finale, but Penske never got a chance to win thanks to the debacle. Any chance of Penske continuing in the series was killed by this disaster.

Important to remember, though, is that Grand-Am DID learn their lesson from it - they were far more cautious about making BoP adjustments from then on, and many of those who learned that lesson the hard way are still part of the officials who determine BoP for the current series. IMSA is troubled, but they're actually in a better state thanks to that disaster than they would likely be otherwise. Imagine how bad the BoP might be if such a debacle HADN'T occurred!

Not really... Porsche actually started supporting that engine after the win.

Never mind the ever questionable fiddlings itself, judging by this Roar BoP sheet they are not expecting the Oak Judd of Krohn there, or any other LMP2 model not already announced

Entry deadline has (technically) closed

Now, the maximum grid capacity has been lowered to 60 per SR
http://www.imsa.com/sites/default/fi...0120215%20.pdf

Who comes up with nonsense, same artificial lowering than at PLM for no reason. CTSCC has gone from 80's few years ago to 70 too. Has FIA talked to them or something?

Yes, yes, I know they're not expecting that many starters anyways, but what are these changes for if not something.

PR - it gives them the opportunity to tout "Full Field!", just like their managed "Closest Finish Ever!" etc. etc.

Deleted · 19 Dec 2015, 16:13 (Ref:3598795)

Don't buy it as Varsha would probably still call it full field at 50

Interesting that you say they are not expecting any other LMP2 not already announced, but I noticed the HPD ARX-04B is on the BOP sheet. I am pretty sure no one has been announced to run that car, so could a surprise entry be in store?

Wow I completely glimpsed over that it seems. Indeed interesting.

Coach Ep · 21 Dec 2015, 16:11 (Ref:3599219)

HPD might run the updated car at the Roar as an "advertising exercise".

Was not Viper Exchange running a second Viper in GTD ?

Defending winners in the 02. The 01 is an odd mix though: Lance Stroll (aka the crashiest kid in Euro F3 last year), Andy Priaulx, Brendon Hartley and Alex Wurz.

Coach Ep · 29 Dec 2015, 15:43 (Ref:3600715)

Never heard of Lance Stroll but I'm guessing he's Ganassi's new Sage Karam? More than enough mentoring experience among the rest of the crew though!

And is Wurz becoming the new team manager for Ganassi-Multimatic's WEC effort...?

Hartley has raced the 24 several times, but never with Ganassi so that's a bit of a surprise, But Wurz is very surprising since he just announced his retirement from racing last month!
