I’ve never seen a Buick that isn’t being driven poorly so imagine the yellows. And I’d hate the color.

I counted today, over a dozen Buicks with the fronts destroyed. ALL were definitely rear end caused by the driver, no damage at all to the rear so they couldn't say they were pushed. Every time it made me laugh

Buick has a bit more full send to their dent, more trucks bump drafting than Cup cars a slight push
And one tried to enter the local FBI office at full send, popup barrier 1, Buick 0 |

Strange news. What about AXR if this is true (probably isn't?).

They will likely have their one but WTR/AA would add the Ganassi cars. I would not be surprised to see Jota, who's been mentioned for WEC, try for both programs together

Things will be interesting for 2025, that's for sure. MSR is a great choice performance-wise but they'll have to monitor them closely on pressures and other stuff |

Indy had moved but that opens up space on NBC for IMSA
https://www.imsa.com/news/2024/06/21...hts-extension/ Expanded NBC mothership coverage, flag to flag on Peacock as well for multi-year extension. 17 hours of racing OTA, sounds like the rest on USA or James Mays favorite streaming platform |

Pipo free agent after Petit after AXR and he agree to part ways. Wonder if he's moving to a new Caddy ride or rolling the dice to get in with another car.

According to what Chistian Fittipaldi said in his podcast:
Cadillac wanted to renew his contract, but Pipo wanted more money for it. Cadillac has its own politics of paying all drivers the same amount so there was no possibility of both parties making a deal. He actually has nowhere to go other than a few LMP2 teams he has been in talks with. Fittipaldi believes that Pipo will do the LMP2 races next year while preparing for a new GTP program for 2026, possibly with Ganassi. |

A guy knows what he can drive well and knew the car was far better than he is. And man enough to admit it

I think his limit is LMP2, he is not young, though very fit and capable, I see no issue with him saying this, it is what you expect of Ben, honest, utterly open and aware of his limits. I guess maturity has a cost, I only wish some far younger people had the same ability to see the big picture and be aware that they are NOT as good as they think they are.!!

Regarding the changes with who runs the Acura's.
Does that mean any more or less GTP cars in the grid next season? |

Other potential additions would be another JDC Porsche. And maybe the Aston. |

His role as a development driver would prevent him from doing a full season in 2025, specially with others factory teams, so that is where the selected LMP2 races comes in. |

Msr wouldn't have lost Watkins due to inability to heat tires on the restart..
