First of all, whoa! Yesterday's crowd was the biggest Friday crowd I've seen at any ALMS/CART/IRL/Trans-Am race outside of Sebring. Today was marginally better than Friday, and I imagine a substantially larger than normal amount of the fair-weather "what's on?" types will show for the race. Absolutely perfect weather.
Also, WHOA! The Cytosport car was flying today, the prototypes provided the most excitement of the two sessions in my opinion. Chris |

There were a couple of views on the streaming that showed some "vacancy" at the track, but I have no idea which portion of the camping area they were showing. Glad to know there was a good crowd; I suspect we should see more tomorrow.
Thanks for that, Chris. Enjoy the race! |

They are not broke, they do not want to spend the money. Just like Autocon does not want to spend money on a brand new transmission and took one made of two other transmissions to make ONE at Le Mans and didn't even complete the first lap. They have old engines on their last legs and since they own them, the cost is only rebuilding likely only during the off-season. THIS off-season will be interesting, unless the ALMS grandfathers the older Lola's, they'll have to buy new cars. I'd say that is likely to happen, along with a completely new engine package for 2011 and then maybe we'll be a threat by actually finishing some races. |

On Kaffer's accident -
Quote:
So running the car too low likely caused Kaffer's accident. That's a shame, no blocker taking up a likely podium position. With Bruni going to back, its likely they'll take a new set of tires as well and go for an early double stint. If a early yellow happens, they'll go ahead and make their splash for fuel. So only Bruni has a chance to carry this into the final round with a chance to win the title. |

From what we have heard, that is not totaly true. They will not be able to switch to the engine next year, but if they were to switch this year and run in an ACO sanctioned race, it could be grandfathered in.
But this belongs in the 2011 threads and not the race thread. L.P. Last edited by HORNDAWG; 29 Aug 2010 at 03:24. |

So, how is everyone going to view this race? I may just have to remove myself from the forum, RLM and T&S for a bit, and enjoy the delayed coverage on SPEED. I take it that our friends across the pond won't have to wait, correct?

At the ALMS site, there is a streaming window up, so maybe there will be a live stream there?

Lack of internet at Mosport => it's through a phone line.
