Say what you will about LMP2 and DPI, but at least when decaled and painted, the cars in general look cool.

No sponsor for a starworks PC. Maybe Visit Fl.
could jump on for a race.

Probably so. Come to think of it ," Starworks "
is usually all that's on the car.
Rayhall was interviewed at the ROAR and
he indicated he would be in one of them for the race.
Apparently Baron told Dagys he is still a driver short so
there must of been a hiccup somewhere.

Last time at the 24hr for us was in 2014. We sat in the
stands for the first couple hours of the race in the infield at the
kink then started back to camp. We were gone from our seats no less than 15 mins when Gidley hit the Ferrari. Very good to hear he
will be at the track this weekend.

Hitting the road Thurs. a.m. Weather seems to be holding.
Still attempting to do the stadium for the entire 24 .

Seems that the P2 stock Cosworth electronics package is causing the teams some issues. Also turns out the Mazda is the only car not using said package, so their issues are all their own!

Per S365:
***A number of Prototype teams have raised continued reliability concerns with their electronics. All cars except for the Mazda RT24-P are powered by the FIA-mandated Cosworth electronics, which has produced numerous glitches, largely in the steering wheel systems.

***One team is understood to even be evaluating a potential post-Daytona systems change, pending IMSA’s approval.

The statement doesn't list specific cars but make it sound widespread. Not sure if it is only impacting the Caddy and Nissan cars, or the base P2's as well. I remember teams having electronics issues at the Roar but can't remember which ones.

I am pretty sure the Wayne Taylor racing Caddy had electronics issue with the steering wheel. That might have been the December test, though.

It's really not good enough from cosworth. The whole point of having a single partner is to reduce costs and issues related to electronics and it's just problem after problem. Even the complete mix match of the previous oreca which combined marelli, motec, cosworth & megaline had far fewer problems. Not what you want entering into a 24 hour event...

Nice opportunity for mazda with the others having electrical problems. I'm guessing they'll punt it away anyway though.

Had a dream about the race last night. First time I've dreamt about sports car racing since around 2011. I've been way more excited lately lol. In the dream only 2 prototypes were left with a chance near the end. A mazda and a Nissan. And even in the dream, I knew it was over and the Nissan would win looollll. Saw the 31 action express car wrecked in there somewhere.

I'm not a fan of the rebellion livery at all. Its like they took the bright red and black WEC livery and said screw it, lets throw on some arctic military camo over it.

Nice! Tip your cap to Butch on the way through. Very off topic here.

On track media hour about to happen. Garages are open but no on track action for any series today.

Conti practice 1 at 9 am tomorrow, followed by WeatherTech at 1020 EST.
