What are you questioning, the 430 being back next year or the new car in 2011?

New car will be around in 2011, but different sources within the team are saying different things about whether it will show up before then. I think, shockingly, it's because that's not decided yet!

They've been struggling with their setup this week so it's just a tick off the leading pace due to oversteer mid-corner. I don't see anything to say it should be 'put out to pasture'.

That it will take till 2011 for the new car to show up on a grid. I am well in the camp that we will probably see the 430 for the beginning of the year.

Clint Field in 3rd O'all, not too shabby.

from the Lizards blog:

3:50 - Joerg reports that he got hit. Doesn't appear to be damage.

Especially since in 2010 with a full on assault from P&M, anyone else that wants to win the team championship will surely need a 2 car team with all pro drivers.

**joeb** · 8 Aug 2009, 19:55 (Ref:2518003)

this was also on the blog:

"Hi to the Big Lizard from the team. Seth says congratulations on your Lizard Acura!"

I don't know who Big Lizard is but I'm guessing that isn't a racing Acura.

I recon we got more chance of a 3 car effort returning for FL than Seth stepping down from driving.

he just set his fastest race lap too.

Ian James in the Panoz is starting to put pressure on Kaffer for 5th place. How about them road apples?

Think there's money for 3? Where have you heard this?

If not, at least Overbeek and Law are better than him in the car.

Jorg is too damn fast! Anyone else hear about the hit mentioned before?

cmk · 8 Aug 2009, 20:01 (Ref:2518011)

We all know, as does the team and the commentators, that they don't have the 62 car hooked up, and Mid-Ohio is a tough track to be quick at first visit. Kaffer just has to keep it in the game and hand Melo the car intact and on the lead lap.

Only if Porsche pays again. The point is that it is more likely that would happen than Seth get tired of driving in his team. That's part of the reason why FL exists. Yeah, he's slow, but he gives us an all-pro works backed car in addition to his toy, so why complain?

Exactly!

The road apple almost turned itself into cyder!

**joeb** · 8 Aug 2009, 20:07 (Ref:2518017)

Good job by all the P cars to stay ahead of the GT2's.

dxk1 · 8 Aug 2009, 20:10 (Ref:2518021)

Graf just ran the fastest lap of any of the Prototypes except for the two P1 Acuras!!

DK

cmk · 8 Aug 2009, 20:11 (Ref:2518022)

Klaus Graf is absolutely flying in the RS Spyder, he's just set a 1:12.587, a little over a tenth of Scott Sharp's best of the race...and 1.3 seconds better than anyone else in P2.

HORNDAWG · 8 Aug 2009, 20:11 (Ref:2518023)

Graf can pedal!!

L.P.

I didn't say there was, i just said that is more likely than Seth not driving.

**joeb** · 8 Aug 2009, 20:11 (Ref:2518025)

Graf is settin fast times in the Spyder

AndrewF31 · 8 Aug 2009, 20:13 (Ref:2518027)

Graf is quite a bit faster in the Spyder. Shame they lost so much time.

ARTRACER1 · 8 Aug 2009, 20:14 (Ref:2518028)

what a shocker!!! 12 behind the wall
