im not gonna agree with that one because Vilander came down on the BMW to block. you could see it.

Poor move by Mr. Field, looks like he ruined the race for the other Intersport car and cost the JDX car the class lead.

Bergmeister loses it and clips the back of one of the ESM cars.

Is it just me or does the ferrari look wholly ineffective here?

You could see an unsafe release. End of.

You can see it in vilanders driving line...the cars just looks very oversteery....he's having to real track out on the exit of all the turns

3. BMW has developed the car to becomeing verry competive last year.
4. BMW has developed the car some more and now apears to be the fastet car.
5. thus there is no need for the restrictor break anymore, and makes the competition tainted becouse they are getting much more help then anyone else.

it is simply time for the ACO or IMSA to cut them down to just beeing competitve, and keep cuting them down until they are just within 0.5% of the rest, without any restrictors breakes, and let thier speed be a true measure of their development not a combination of Development and artificial boosts

Up to point 4 you're completely right. The regs are clear they will review it after 3 races, which they did. If IMSA hadn't screwed up with bulletin timing it would be completely fair.

If Jag and Ford suddenly develop the car well enough that they can run at the front their massive speed advantage will be pegged back. The constant complaining that BMW are being treated differently is bull**** - nothing more.

Like I said look at Porsche's speed at the end of Lime Rock - the sudden leap at the end of the race shows that they were sandbagging. Why would you sandbag when you're getting beat? Maybe because the advantages the BMWs have isn't engine related? Tyres and setup aren't affected by air restrictors...

Time for Jon to put Clint in the car instead, his driving is now pathetic.

FordCosworthPanoz · 24 Jul 2011, 20:32 (Ref:2930545)

The Autocon bathtub is in trouble again.

Audi Racer · 24 Jul 2011, 20:38 (Ref:2930550)

I can't wait for Jamie Melo to get inside the Risi ferrari

FordCosworthPanoz · 24 Jul 2011, 20:43 (Ref:2930558)

Another world class pitstop by Dyson...

Audi Racer · 24 Jul 2011, 20:44 (Ref:2930559)

^lol

It went more smoothly than Cytosport's. Just the exit needs some work, but that may be a clutch issue.

**joeb** · 24 Jul 2011, 20:48 (Ref:2930564)

Has anybody else noticed how poor the audio is on the alms commercials for upcoming races?

Cytosport's was more messy but faster, Dyson looked like they were having a beer break during the pitstop. About 10 seconds lost.

Audi Racer · 24 Jul 2011, 20:51 (Ref:2930569)

Don! dOn! dooonn!!1

Hindaugh says it as well...now one gives credit to the dunlops....they all just whine about restrictors.

Audi Racer · 24 Jul 2011, 20:56 (Ref:2930572)

WHAT THE BLAZES!!????

Tha Jaguar just set the fastest GT race lap!!!!

Purist · 24 Jul 2011, 20:56 (Ref:2930573)

And, it seems, the Jags just need better drivers. Bruno just turned the fastest GT lap of the race in #99! Go figure.

Audi Racer · 24 Jul 2011, 20:58 (Ref:2930574)

Holy hell. Im still speechless. The Jaguar set the fastest GT race lap!!!

He did 2 1:18.1 laps in a row.

And then promptly comes into the pits, probably to have its restrictors refitted.

FordCosworthPanoz · 24 Jul 2011, 21:00 (Ref:2930578)

Looks like Gentilozzi found a 1000 BHP IMSA GTP turbo engine to put in the car for a while.

jaguarista · 24 Jul 2011, 21:00 (Ref:2930579)

finally! The Jag is fast: 1:18.102 1:18.102
