2016 Watkins Glen

This is the 3rd round of the NAEC and we do have some additional cars entered in the non-challenge classes. Protos have the ESM Ligier/Honda and the Highway to Help car. GTLM has the extra Ferrari, and GTD has a few additional cars. New pavement this year, so if the weather cooperates we will likely see some lap records fall (for the new version of imsa at least). The entire race will actually be shown on FS1 in the US!

For sure. I was there last year. Not this time though. Best view is probably at the very top of the turn 1 grandstand. You can see the entire front straight away, turn 1, and the uphill esses then the cars disappear.

Me thinks BMW, Porsche, and Corvette will be more of a match for Ford and Ferrari this time around. Laguna Seca and Le Mans (replace BMW with Aston at L.M) were pretty much Ford vs Ferrari shows. At the time it was a nice breathe of fresh air since Porsche and Corvette battled it out in the first 3 races. This time I hope all 5 makes mix it up.

This is the first race in months for imsa where all 4 classes are on track together. I hope they remember how to play nice.

I agree with that. Having a new unified surface isn't something we see often on classic tracks in the US. If they repainted the guardrail a different color I wouldn't be able to name the track!

I'm sure the repave helped, but even so, all four classes took care of their lap records in Practice 1.

P: 1:37.902 (125.023mph), 2014
1:36.705 (126.570mph), 2016

PC: 1:40.562 (121.716mph), 2014
1:38.701 (124.011mph), 2016

GTLM: 1:44.084 (117.597mph), 2014
1:43.574 (118.176mph), 2016

GTD: 1:48.831 (112.468mph), 2014
1:46.147 (115.312mph), 2016

If we can have fairly clear weather, it will be interesting to see what happens here this weekend, as well as at Mosport Park, Road America, and Road Atlanta, later in the season. If it's dry, they'll all be darn fast.

Which, if mirrored on the average laptime, provides more separation PC-GTLM although the overall span has been reduced. I assume GTLM can do a bit more still. (I assume anybody can do more, but think GTLM has a bit more left than the others)

(previously in terms of P time = 100%, PC was 2.7% slower, GTLM 6.3% and GTD 11.2% whereas now, PC = P+2.1%, GTLM = P+7.1%, GTD = P+9.8%)

After seeing Le Mans. I think the turbo charged GTLM cars (Ford, BMW, Ferrari) are much capable of going faster but IMSA has the Bop reigns on them big time to keep the Corvettes and Porsches in there.

which, if one accepts the general premise of BoP and what it attempts / should attempt to achieve, is a good thing.

Although after 2 practice sessions it looks like Corvette and Porsche are down 1 second per lap to the turbo GTLMs. But we'll see what happens during the official qualifying and race sessions. Corvette and Porsche had the field covered in the first 3 races. Laguna Seca and Le Mans is where the script flipped.

The "All Show & No Go" IMSA website latest results are from Detroit. Maybe joeb can update the fantasy with that, but any links for the practice session results?

Sportscar365 is pretty good about getting results up.

If the IMSA site itself is being uncooperative, try fanschoice.tv
