I wish Creventic still came to COTA. Are they gonna take a break for sleep and then restart in the a.m. like they did here, or are they gonna go continuously through the night?

this is a recording.  i think they went through the night.  usually the dubai 24h is 2 weeks before daytona but they had to move it to the same weekend (thanks houthis).  so some big name drivers that would have been there weren't. 

 

still, not a bad thing to watch on one of the deadest sports weekends of the year.

  • Track dried out 20 minutes too early for the mustangs. Both on the podium to 6th and 8th in a hurry.     

  • Hnnngh. Ready. Here are some of the pics my 21 yo shot last year when we went to Daytona. He's getting pretty good. Building a website. He's dying to go again this year.

  • @ConferenceRoom & @Prepuce of Doom, I finally broke down and got a VPN sub a few months ago so I could watch MLB TV. Really coming in handy now, watching IMSA tv with no ads. Just FYI.

Campbell's on a roll, winning at Daytona in the 24 and then in the next race at Bathurst.

(still making my way through the 1812) lap 78/335 commentary is talking about GT3 cars being a mix of family sedans and supercars: "the kind of cars that give jeremy clarkson trouser trouble" 🤣

qatar 1812 full race now on youtube

 

First twenty minutes and already a lot of issues. A GTD McLaren in the garage, a spinning Ferrari miraculously missed collecting half the GT field, several punctures in the prototypes, all sorts of stuff

i'm not sure an F1 car could get around this track.  17 feet of suspension travel on a lap.

tower LMP2 hard into the tires at the tower corner after getting a bit of a nudge from a GT3 and catching some dirt in the braking area gave us our 2nd yellow

Perfect time for a commercial.  Come back and the race leading car - up 12s and now he's upside down in the wall.

#6 Porsche self crashes due to left rear flat while leading. Karma is served.

Why, what did he do? Haven't been watching the whole time.

^^ He bumped/sideswiped a GTD car that had position (IMO) causing it to wreck. It is probably out there somewhere as a highlight.

Got dammit. Fuck NBC and all their commercials.

17 run down to 1 was intense there between the cadillac and the acura

Great battle to finish the final 10 minutes or so.

The #57 Winward Racing group is out of Pasadena Tx.  New shop to open at the end of the month.  They won class at the Rolex 24 and tonight.  Looking legit. 

I'm thinking about applying as sammich maker or janitor.

Yeah fuck that guy. She oughta press charges for attempted murder. Any idea who was driving the 6 when that happened?

That video also confirms what I thought about Derani's Whelen Cadillac crash. He just didn't give the Ferrari any room & had plenty on his left as he made what should be a very easy pass on a much slower car. Such a needless crash, esp from the lead. That's the most common mistake I see from prototype drivers passing sportscars. So stupid & careless. Didn't help the other guy's race any, either. Some of those guys drive like the slower cars just cease to exist once they catch 'em, or like the other classes don't have a right to any room on the track.

^^ 99 percent it was Jaminet. 

It was Mackowiecki. He was also in the car when the left rear went down (same corner he hit Legge with). Was that right after he tried to kill Legge or was it later? BTW that Gradient car Legge was in is from Austin (Round Rock)

I figured it out earlier, I went back to try to edit but it was too late.

Looking at the IMSA upcoming events, there is an entry for COTA during April 2024.  Looking at the COTA website, they show the "Ferrari Challenge" for that weekend.  So....wtf is the Ferrari Challenge?  Is this something they've done before?

The Ferrari Challenge has been around since the 90s.

All Ferrari race, not the prototypes or anything, just actual Ferraris. Lots of owner-drivers, etc. was originally created to give Ferrari owners a chance to race their cars.

Lamborghini and Porsche have their own similar series. They all fall under the IMSA banner.

Vettel set to start testing with Porsche Penske. Seems like a pretty serious plan and maybe we'll see him in WEC or the big IMSA enduros sometime soon
