I'm an lmp1 fanboy, not just a Toyota fanboy. It is my favorite brand, but I like more than only them. I guess you missed the smiley face, indicating it was a joke? BTW, I didn't like when Lexus was in DP before with Scott Pruett winning all the time because the car was ugly and not really a 'Lexus'. Last edited by TF110; 14 Feb 2018 at 18:08. |

I prefer the more amusing way to look at it, which is that Cadillac won nearly as many consecutive races last year as there are WEC races this season anyways. If you could watch that for 8 races you can watch WEC for 8 races. Besides, everyone was so insistent on how much better Cadillac curb stomps were than WEC because they had car variety, so the half dozen different chassis in LMP1 should be irresistible.

No, I think in fact he would be correct and a posting regarding a non-IMSA spec car in the IMSA thread is stirring the pot. Makes you look like a petulant little kid who wants a reaction to feel like you're smarter. Looks more like the ignore button is the better option.

We can talk about the WEC and the EoT in a WEC thread.
There is no need for this. There is no need for patronising comments either. |

Curious. What I have right now is 42 Drops from Daytona potentially are: 2 Jackie Chan DC's, 2 Grasser Lambos, 1 United Ligier, 1 Manthay Porsche, 1 Risi GTD, 1 AF Corse/Dalla Lana Ferrari. Anybody think a couple from this list will show up? |

Probably 3. Or maybe it includes the possible 4th NSX in GTD?
It says 17 protos + 9 GTLMs, leaving 19 GTDs. |

another email from SIR now mentions 44 cars, still 17 prototypes so 1 GTD entry has dropped, thinking either Grasser or the unconfirmed 4th NSX.

The Transformers franchise should have gotten behind Performance Tech or JDC who both have a stellar track records instead of the Dawson clowns.
I'm not into Transformers but I'm sure it potentially would have brought a whole new group of fans into the scene. On that subject: why isn't the Need For Speed franchise involved (or did I miss that one)? |

[QUOTE=Akrapovic;3802188]Assuming you mean Fast n Furious? I don't think there's much cross over between street racing and actual motorsports. I don't know about IMSA, but the FIA is huge on road safety, so I don't think they'd look too kindly on a franchise that glorifies illegal street racing on their cars.
And are we supposed to care about Mr Todt's vanity platform? Sadly car accidents on the roads is a fact of modern life and regardless of anyone's concern, is not going to go away any time soon. The more cars on the road each day, the more accidents will happen. I think most people don't "glorify" any films or video games with a street racing theme, it's just mindless entertainment. |

If memory helps me that car was Schubert team and had that livery for 2010 fia gt3 season (can't remeber if joined adac gt too that year).
Basically their main sponsor was EA/need for speed shift. They kept same sponsorship in 2011 too because of the release of nfs shift2 (that basically as game was a shift without an f) |
