A change of a tire starts you from the back, where did the Panoz start with an engine change from qualifying?
Yes, crazy strart to the race - something about a cone in the way?? Not a good one for BMW. |

It's usually around this time the Farnbacher Loles Porsche has a problem.

Johnny Mowlem said they aren't running hybrid today. Everything (minus one part) is homologated, but they aren't using the electric power.

Watching on Speed right now. If those cones weren't placed right on the track, Jon wouldn't have collected one and the beginning fiasco might not have occurred. From the track views, the crowd is very significantly less than the last two years that we were there.

A few things from this race
1.The challenge class was pretty good. 2.The P2 battle was tense(Boy did Guy Smith make it close their in the end. He kind of stayed ahead of fernandez to help the Leitzinger car. But in the last corner man did he but a huge block through the last turn. 3.Disaster for Rahal. No top speed at all either. Waith for Road America and mosport 4.That Zytek sounded identical to the Acura. |

Why isn't the Zytek running the 4.5L engine? Last year at Petit we saw the 4.5L version out class the 4.0L.

Thought about packaging or weight first, but according to the Zytek datasheets the size is the same and weight of the 4.5L is even less. Higher cooling requirements? But I am really guesing ...

Maby the hybrid system they have designed just hasn't been adapted to the 4.5 yet?

Well, but it seems to be the same engine size, so probably only the bore is different. So shouldnt make any difference. And why developing the hybrid for the less powerful engine?

Maybe they can only the hybrid systeem with the 4.0 engine, because otherwise it will be too powerfull?
