Same thing happened during the last wet race, Road America?

Deltawing and Dyson behind every P2 car, not a good showing.

Not concerned about the Dyson pace in the wet here. The DW blew up a gearbox (or something else?) after one or two flying laps. I'm not sure what the rules will be with this, but I think they will have to start from the back if they are doing gearbox work.

Kind of OT, but it happened in Parking Lot T... tip of the hat to the guys with 4X4's and tow straps, and the creative ideas, that came to the rescue of the dozen or so vehicles that sank into the Hill Country earth in that lot. Seriously, so much rain that many cars were stuck before they even tried to move.

Provisional Grid shows RSR, Starworks, PR1, Risi and both ESM to the rear for failing to meet minimum drive-time.

Why is the 551 car up the grid if they didn't set a qualifying time? Doesn't no qualifying time equal back of grid in this series anymore?

Just watched the qualifying replay after work today.
The penalties are kind of strange, sounds like a technicality. Second and third isn't bad for the Vettes. Bummed to see the Falken Porsche struggling, even in rain. Still cheering for you! Last edited by Mechanic Z; 21 Sep 2013 at 02:56. |

Turns out because it was a wet session, cars were reordered by class unless they were penalized for drive time reasons. So basically the 551 didn't set a time so they got to start up grid with the other P2 who want penalized. Weird.

Only a 1:55 by the Muscle Milk car in practice? Surely I'd think it could go at least a second or two faster? Rebellion car in WEC practice right now has done a 1:53.0

Why does the link page to the live stream only appear so close to the race. It's maddening. You go through this "will it appear" stress before every race. Or at least I do...
It's 4am in Singapore so I'm particularly keen not to be wasting my time :-) Ben |

Horrible strobey picture quality on Motors TV but here we go. Not sure what happened to the pole-sitting BMW there.

Did the Risi Ferrari short-cut the track? For just a bit there, Malucelli had the quickest lap in GT by a second, at a 2:07.2.

Awesome GT battling early on. So cool to see the Vettes and Vipers going at it.

Fairplay to Motors TV keeping things nostalgic. Its like watching the ALMS stream, dodgy sound and pictures. Love the track though.

Great scrap early on between the 'vettes and snakes. Would we expect anything less???
