With Tim Pappas getting hurt at Bathurst, I am not sure if we'll see Black Swan at Sebring now. This seems like an operation that won't run at all if the main gentleman driver is not there. Probably low 40's for grid numbers for the 12 hours of Sebring. But when you consider that WEC is there, the quality is very high, the diversity of manufacturers is still there, then the prospect of more green racing. Then it could be worse.

I think the WEC lmp2's will be nearly as fast as DPi. Definitely a lot closer than DPi is to any lmp1. That's what I want to see. If that's as close as I think, then they may have slowed the lmp2's just because some or all of the DPi teams just wanted to be ahead. Of course they can just bop the DPi's to go a little faster if the gap isn't big enough. I think as-is, the DPi's are only fractionally faster than an lmp2 left alone running the same tires.

This is IMSA 2019, I guess.
Maze and Blue curbs at Road Atlanta. Not a fan! https://m.facebook.com/story.php?sto...01065953285921 First comment on the Facepage post is fabulous! |

I'm thinking more, bath houses? That's generous and creepy at the same time. And I'd say how about just bolting the thrones to the floor and swapping out the tiny tiny one for a human sized throne.
And they better start changing the tires to match. The Packers colors not matching the green and white tires was bad enough but this is an assault on my eyes now. Although it did remimd me I need to buy my membership again before the end of the month |

I might head up next weekend for the renamed Chump car. Just to show how little ChampCar is worth now Chump car has been renamed ChampCar racing after they bought the name cheap. I'll get some pictures especially to show the tires clashing because yes that bothers me

They probably said it's from Michelin on the Facebook posts

I think it's fitting. Grand Le Mans has blue and yellow kerbs and now so does Petit Le Mans.

I'm no fan. Its always been green and white and there was nothing wrong with it. Then they went with yellow and green at PLM 2018.
It WAS Road Atlanta, but Michelin is writing the checks now, so this is what they want. Are they going to paint the tire walls to match? |

Well there you have it. Drivers will need to stay off the kerbs now. Circuit still the same

Too often drivers use kerbs as part of the track. It increases the challenge if they don’t have to go over them

No more Risi it seems....
https://www.motorsportweek.com/news/id/21404 It remains to be seen however if their entry request will be granted and if not, how that will affect their plans. Very disappointing news nevertheless... |

At this point if Risi returns or not I couldn't care any less. Second place and laps that weren't out of the range of the rest of the cars sounds like whining and crying. They really do seem like that's their technique to get a better BOP and a win but I think IMSA has had enough of that. Doubt we'll see them back any time soon
