  • 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.

The son of my good friends is racing in FR Americas at Laguna Seca this weekend, check it out if you can.  Usually at least some of it gets streamed on YouTube through Speedtour.

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.

Yeah, you wanna see a whole bunch of torn up Ferraris - go to a Ferrari Challenge weekend. Pure carnage.

Every time they smash into one another, I just can't help but think of the hundreds of thousands of dollars coming out of private pockets.  They can afford it, I guess, but nevertheless it causes me great pain and consternation on their behalf.

imsa at detroit with indycar this weekend, GTP and GTD Pro cars only on the tight streets of downtown detroit.  first time out for these cars at this track.  qualifying is at 3:40 pm today and the race goes green at 3:10 pm tomorrow.

The idea of a new racetrack is both exciting and daunting. Especially when the schedule is tight — three-and-a-half hours of testing before qualifying in the case of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s first visit to the 1.654-mile, nine-turn downtown street circuit — there’s not a lot of time to get acclimated, to set up the car, and find the right references for a consistent, fast lap.

this is a dumb tiny ugly narrow bumpy go kart track but turn 3 makes for more overtakes for the lead than a season of F1.

teams that gambled on staying on slicks won that bet

Not quite 4 hours in but it sure seems like the Porsche cars have nothing to bring in a fight with the Ferraris. 

When the French lady pit lane reporter interviews Koboyashi I have to feel for whoever is doing the English live closed captioning.

Between the two of them I think I caught about 10% of that.

LMAO DeVries. That guy is such a fucking joke. He probably should have stuck with the slow Formula E cars.

not having an intermediate is leading to interesting strategy calls, at least.

proton mechanic seems nice

Possible big penalty upcoming for the race leader??? That was a bit sloppy

Ohhhh first safety car

Kubica does get a big penalty. 30 second stop and go.

That’s a pretty harsh penalty but I didn’t see the incident

The #5 Penske has made the worst tire calls at least twice now.

The Toyotas and the 83 Ferrari have done well.

wetter than south austin's mom right now

 

this safety car period is so long they're now needing to pit

The 83, after being so strong looks to be dead. Some kind of hybrid electrical problem.

Ho Lee Fuk, a Jardiance dancing fat people commercial during the break.

It was the new dancing gal, not the short-round gal.

I've been streaming on MAX. Haven't seen a single commercial the entire time.
