10TENTHS should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Action Express (the #5 at least) completed every lap last year, so no real surprise. Meanwhile the MSR car is off track...

Hmm, Spencer pumpelly, CTSCC, repeat (as in: "this is the third time this has happened to me in my career" - he ran out of fuel leading, he made it back to the front straight and sat at pit entry) ?

Hmm, nah, unlikely.

The truck is right next to the camera, possible they are just watching.

What is it with Bergmeister and Ferrari??

Hell of a race in GT/PC... really good stuff today. Very happy with this round.

I can't wait until 2017.

From first hand experience, my opinion is that you have to expect and be ready for it if your up front during a stop (or if you're a media person). I did fuel on a PC team last race so I wasn't in danger from it. But I've seen people slapped around by the tail of a car a bunch of times. Usually they're stunned but not really hurt. But I see your point.

There needs to be an all-pro lmp2 car. That last lap collision was tough to watch in gte. The Porsches were handed this race in bop. I hope the new gte rules get rid of this crap where one adjustment makes a certain car dominant.

Yup...Elkhart, as you would know, rarely produces a dud. I've always told my friends there's nothing like the state of Wisconsin in August.

How so? The Risi Ferrari had tires that had zero grip left.

I missed the race. Timing and scoring had the Deltawing and Mazda P2 at 1-2 laps behind the leader. Decent I guess, but I must ask, were they helped with FCY-get-back-on-the-lead-lap, or did they have legitimate pace?

afaict, their documented lack of pace reflects the state they're in, no funny fcy lap back business involved (except for the inevitable bunching up / regaining lost ground during the fcy we had roundabout L14).
I.e., answer option "legitimate pace" (mostly)

Yeah, I just wish we could go back to the four hour event, with a dusk/night finish like we had in the ALMS....

Elkins and I had convo about a true night finish a few years ago... came down to light tower rentals, and who was gonna pay for it.

I didn't watch this or read the results or care one way or another but regarding what TF110 is saying, Oliver Gavin on DSC:

“Going off of our first dry practice session this morning, the Porsche’s are blindingly fast. It goes back to the BOP stuff. I’m sure there are a few people scratching their heads. The car that got pole and won the race in Mosport by half a lap now gets a BoP break with an adjustment for less weight."

If the 911's are that quick, the 458 is faster. Risi was pulling a consistent gap...

I love Ollie, but, this seems like pure grandstanding.

While they both have a BoP "advantage"(use that term very loosely) BMW/Corvette have had a longstanding advantage. The C7R is capable of 1:57's at Road America. Just a little change for them, and they will be off into the sunset.

IMSA knows.

These cars need a set weight and dimensions with defined aero areas. It sounds like thats what next year is close to (I hope).

What I said isnt spec. Dimensions like width are needed so your car isnt 2.5 meters wide. Aero areas I mean like you cant put wings on your fenders, but you can make your diffuser strakes different, or your floor. Anything too free and theyll be like DTM & GT500 (not that Id mind).
