Has anyone ever actually won Daytona, Sebring and PLM in same year?
(Overall that is, I think someone won in LMPC and maybe elsewhere but who cares) |

And you'd be looking at a relatively small window, early ALMS/pre GA and recent... |

That said, I am hoping for a clean, good close race with little "drama". Great track and a great event, with lots of good people, the likes of which we are coming accustom to seeing in the same spots every year. There's also lots of "interesting" folks, too. Ah, race fans. |

You know where to find us in T4 but we may end up wandering about for Quali. Feel like I've not got around the last 3 or 4 years... |

The Dyson Riley & Scott Mk III #002 won Daytona in 99 and Sebring in 97 and finished 16th at Road Atlanta 3 hr in 96.
2000 was Grand Am at Daytona so until 2014, it wasn't even possible to win all three for a decade and a half. 2014 Daytona: Action Express #5 Corvette DP #CPM-GM008 Sebring: Gannasi #01 Riley Mk XXVI #MkXI-004=>AA-004 PLM: Taylor Racing #10 Corvette #DP01-003 (Dallara) 2015 Daytona: Gannasi #02 Mk XXVI #MkXI-002=>AA-005 Sebring: Action Express #5 Corvette DP #CPM-GM009 PLM: Some Beetle So no to all three in one year. Closest any 1 chassis got was campaigned by Dyson! Maybe I should start packing instead of researching..... |

Not with same chassis, but had ALMS LMP1 (or LMP2 circa 2007-2008) team entered oneoff DP for Daytona or vice versa, at least same team could've won all three in same year.

IIRC Penske had some oneoff DP at Daytona (with WRT co-op?) at the end of the decade while they still had Spyder capable of winning overall in ALMS, incl Sebring they did won.
Maybe I should just look into results myself instead of baffling nonsense, but ehh. In any case ESM has good prospects for Sat. |

I got to witness the Penske overall win at Sebring in person! That was aweome and I do recall them having a short lived DP and didn't think it was a one-off so I dove down the worm hole for you: http://www.racingsportscars.com/chassis/MkXX-036.html Mk XX Riley with Porsche flat 6: http://www.teampenske.com/news/index...m_Rolex_Series |

No I didn't mean the 2009 Penske DP because at that point the Porsche Spyder had already been ditched from ALMS, but the co-run 2008 WTR-Penske. So you had that year
Daytona - overall third (shared team) Sebring - overall first PLM - overall fourth, 1st in LMP2 |

On another topic....has anyone posted info on where you can stream the race on your home PC for free. I ask because it looks like FS1 and FS2 don't cover the whole event this year. FS2 ends their coverage at something like 6pm. |

Is anyone gonna be planning to have teary eyes* on Saturday, with the prospect of final** DP run? You know, like with US LMP1 in 2013 Petit?
* possible tears of joy not counted ** maybe |

Maybe a mock funeral procession with a DP effigy burned on the front straight after the awards ceremonies?

So basically, if you live in the US and don't have FS2 on your cable package, good luck watching Petit via legitimate means. |

I did like seeing the drivers though. Brendon Hartley and Alex Gurney are a couple that come to mind in 2013. Who could forget all the years of "Hi to my family at home"? There were 29 or 30 DP's that took the green flag at the 2005 24 Hrs of Daytona . That was a site to see live. It was a Wayne Taylor/Max A. win in the Sun Trust car. I imagine the 80/20 rule will be in effect this weekend. 80% will be glad its their last race(possibly). 20% will miss them. 100% of us hope all teams and drivers return in one form or another next year.
