WolfsburgRS should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

It was a little tough for me to follow some of the stuff. The cars with liveries that maybe don't stand out quite as much can be a bit tough to identify. It gets even harder when they're all clumped together so the engine notes are all mashed up as one.

I had a really good time. I will say, there are a few places I wish spectators could get to, or get closer to. I also think that zone by the Roller Coast could do with an extra PA speaker or two, and maybe a video screen somewhere there.

Nice! I was just up the hill from there, with the big silver motor-toter Freightliner RV. (not mine, my bosses ) I totally agree that roller coaster and hog pen could use some more coverage with speakers and some kind of screen. It was a bit hard to follow; I was listening in to our next door campers who were streaming IMSA radio.

Agreed that the food there is pretty decent. Also there's a little taco trailer there for the IMSA races which is outstanding, and they're only$2 each. VIR is without a doubt, one of my favorite places ever.

I have to say, re-watching the first bit of the race I'm surprised the 912 got the penalty with the contact made between it and the #4 Corvette. Tommy bumped Bamber going through 4-5 on that same lap, then finished it off on the back stretch. At best I would think it would have been an NFA call.
