Beaux Barfield was the race director for ALMS prior to the merger, so if you weren't complaining about yellows then...

Seeing Turner Motorsports on the rumored list makes me just a weeee bit anxious. I hope it is simply a matter of them not officially confirming their entries yet. With their shop a mere 50 minutes up the highway from me it gives me a great local team to pull for in their racing endeavors be it PWC or IMSA, I hope that they confirm soon!

So far this is shaping up to be the best Rolex in a long time .... if we can just get through the post-Roar BoP with something resembling equity among top chassis in all classes ....

Didja scoot over there? If so, what's the lowdown on being able to get out to the stands (or not) for any occasion? Thanks.

As I recall 2016-era P2s are legal but have to run with 2016 BoP, which means the car will be significantly underpowered.

Marshall Pruett said this in a March, 2016 Racer article: (http://www.racer.com/more/viewpoints...ply-and-demand) "It's worth noting the option to use the grandfather clause sounds more attractive in print than it has been presented to some teams who've inquired about bringing 2015-2016-spec P2 coupes into the new DPi era. A Honda representative told RACER it was informed by IMSA that grandfathered P2s will not be competitive in 2017, and with the series controlling the Balance of Performance tables for the class, the message regarding grandfathered cars could be: If you want a chance to win, bring something new. At this early stage, it makes the idea of racing an ARX-04b, BR01, Ligier JS P2, or ORECA 05 – anything other than a new DPi or WEC P2 chassis – less than compelling." Not disputing what you say, just saying I cannot find anything from IMSA or any other source, without more than eight minutes' searching. What did Mr. Goodwin say IMSA was doing with the Gibson engine vs. DPi motors? |

Or are you confusing the rumor that the ACO was going to reel in the new P-2s, with what Maelochs said? L.P. |

I was able to get in the stands for about 10 minutes by taking the track tour. Otherwise they were totally closed off to spectators. All gates are closed and guarded. I don't know if that was just for this test or for all future test sessions.

Thanks. I'll be passing by on my way further north, I'll stop in and check.

I couldn't see any reason for SMP to bring a car over. IMSA's wave-by rules mean that a slower car can't really hope to win via reliability. I could see 50+ doing it, but no competitive team. |

It will be interesting to see how many of the 11-14 P entries can run 24 hours trouble-free out of the box. If there is a lot of attrition we may be looking at a GTLM victor.

Only DPi that will have issues is the Mazda. Same driveline as the last one, and that was failure prone.
Cadillac is using the same stuff they had in the DP, and those were rock solid. Others using GT3 engines, those aren't stressed high enough to blow. |
