Are they enforcing track limits or is it a free for all like last year? That was kinda funny watching them drive over the white lines but no consequences!

EDIT- nevermind, they red flagged FP1 because of track limits. Kind of a warning to all drivers!

I was about to look that up, thanks for posting!

Results in pdf form here http://results.imsa.com/Results/17_2...by%20Class.PDF
Most interesting result from that practice for me is that the Riley was ahead of the Ligier and Oreca chassied Gibson powered cars. Of course drivers may have played a role in that, the pdf doesn't show who the fastest driver was.

I haven't heard, but on the last page of the pdf you posted earlier there is a table that says certain cars had their laps disallowed. I would guess that was for track limits.

Wasn't last year a bit wet, too? These times seem respectable.

Oh yeah. The track limits debate. Glad they're at least making it clear, however we look at it.

Have you seen this car race in the past couple of weeks? 3 victories- 2 wins (double race) in GTOpen and won GT300 in Super GT. Maybe it's hitting it's stride?

I haven't watched much racing since Sebring and St. Pete. Lexus has certainly figured out something.

No doubt. Check out youtube for the international GT Open round. I won't give spoilers but keep an eye on the two Lexi during those races for sure.

For sure, DPI pole is 5 seconds under the Daytona Prototypes at COTA.

It's encouraging that ESM qualified second. Not much anyone can do about one car being that far ahead. Pretty crazy. I kind of like it in a way.

He said it was all the car but I am starting to think the Taylors (when Ricky can refrain from assaulting others) are some of the best drivers in the class. Johannes Van overbeek maybe a little old ... and the rest should be as good .... but I don't see why the WTR car should be so much faster than (what used to be ) AXR.

Is it just me, but every time I see the tower at COTA I think
of the Big Chicken in Marietta. Conti race was great again.
Spencer and Foss put on a great show in ST.
