Really impressed with EFFORT racing's Michael Lewis. Top 5 finish in a field that deep is fantastic!

Surprised by some of the negativity following such a fantastic race.
Some of you are trying pretty hard to come up with objections to PWC.

What was fantastic about it aside from Beretta's last lap pass on Dalziel? It was a fairly average race with a good last few laps between the leaders.

(also, if the 25 didn't get a penalty for who knows what, he would have shot straight into the distance and would have been uncontested.)

You may call me a troll, but I'm just being realistic here.

Coverage was pretty sub-par with no on board footage and dubious quality.

Is it going to be like this for the rest of the season? because last year was much better

I think I read that you get moved up from GTA if you get two top 5s or a top 3 overall, so I'm sure Mr Lewis will be out of there soon.

It was real race cars not dumbed down by taking parts off of them and making teams pay thousands of dollars to slow them down, and race control didn't throw 75 FCYs. It was a good race.

There was that one white Aston running behind all of the Cup cars though. He might need to go to TCB or something.

I am trying to find where I can watch today's proceedings without finding out the results, which includes not reading this thread, so sorry if it's mentioned already but is there a way watch the replay anywhere? I am having trouble finding it through WCTV...

Fairly certain anything on a track is a "real" race car. I mean, they're physically there and turning laps, so they're very much real.

I don't think they have it loaded up yet, but I'd keep an eye on their Youtube channel. It ought to be up before too long, and there probably won't be any spoilers.

I think that the cable TV rebroadcast is a lot more polished.
I've kinda grown used to the more laid back livestream. Just having a livestream available at all is pretty awesome.

Thirty eight ridiculously cool GT racing cars (plus ten extra Porsches cup cars), from Thirteen different manufacturers- flat out racing for fifty minutes- no full course yellows.

48 cars from thirteen manufacutures flat our racing with no FCY's doesn't automatically make it a fantastic race though.

The racing itself was average, and I'd blame that on the track.

The hyperultrasafe Tilkedrome is probably to 'thank' for the lack of FCYs, had it been bumpy ICS street course or some other traditional venue you'd expect plenty of downtime

Surely usual crashfest coming up at St Pete

Great drives by Michael Cooper and Ben Clucas in GTS race 2.
I always enjoy rainy races.
