Pirelli World Challenge Rounds 6 & 7: Barber Motorsports Park

Only one week after Long Beach, World Challenge heads back to natural terrain road courses with Barber Motorsports Park.

Hopefully Jon Fogarty, Austin Cindric and Bryan Heitkotter will be able to race, one week isn't very long to repair wrecked cars (Though we've already seen it happen once this season).

James Sofronas' Porsche is not on the list, but Michael Schein's Porsche, Drew Regitz's Audi, Walt Bowlin's Audi and Joe Toussaint's Porsche 997 are all shown as entered.

GTCup and GTS return to the track, with new GTS entries, Breathless Racing w/ a Camaro and a Mustang, a third Ginetta, a Cayman and an extra Maserati. Also Mantella's XBow's are back on the list after missing St. Pete.

Also DIME Racing has their hands full repairing the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG GT3, driven by Frankie Montecalvo, which suffered significant damage to the rear during the race when I believe the car suffered some kind of ABS failure, and had contact with the concrete barriers.

The GT list seems to be getting slimmer and slimmer... (those GT3s aren't exactly cheap!)

But great to see the growth in GTS! I hope Nate Stacy will be able to bounce back from his St. Pete misfortune.

And finally a traditional road course to race on!

There were a pile of parts after the Long Beach race. I looked and those teams have to be at Barber by Wednesday. I counted around 10 GT cars and 3 or 4 GTA that were running at the end of the race. The rest of them were all being brought back on the hook in various pieces. At least with a real road course, they will be able to get back to a full 40 minutes of racing.

Or even 50 mins of racing as that's the max race time!

Buford and Racers edge win GTS pole. Aschenbach will start second and the lovely little Lotus driven by Dollahite rounds out the top three.

Really looking forward to the GTS race tomorrow.

I watched the GTS race here at work but was confused. It went a lap and then they came in for about 15 minutes and sat in the pits until it stopped raining. Nobody wrecked or was off track. Some teams put on rains and others just sat looking confused. Even the announcers were confused as to why the race was red flagged. Then they went back out and ran for about 20 minutes and they called the race because of lightning. I can understand that but it seemed that it wasn't really a race. The SIN is neat (looks like a small Daytona Prototype) but that guy just drove away from the Camaro. They said it was a one off for that driver.

Hope they put on a better race tomorrow.

Agree, the second red flag was an excellent call (safety first), but that first one was definitely confusing. Maybe it was raining worse than it looked in some sections? There was some pretty heavy spray shown in a few shots.

As you say, hopefully they have a better race tomorrow. Forecast from Racecast Weather is saying sunny for the rest of the weekend:

Those Chevy V8 in Sin are awesome.
The real Sir Colin Chapman philosophy. Small and light car with big engine.

That Sin is the way to go. The announcers had it around a 1 second per lap faster than everyone else. If that guy who won didn't kill it on the start, he could have almost lapped the whole field except for the other Sin. I'm impressed for a car I've never hear of before.

I'm wondering why there are so many cars in GTS that are unknown. What I searched was that the Sin, Guinetta and Ktm are track day cars and not a regular street car like a Mustang or Camaro. Can you buy one of those cars at a dealer and drive them on the street here in America? It just seems odd that GTS used to have regular street cars made into racecars and now it's got these other cars.
