What is this "waive around system"? They let drivers that are behind pass other drivers that have lapped them under a caution? If so, that's... ridiculous.
They kinda do it in ALMS as well.

must confess, I'm not familiar with what you're referring to here.
First, it is what I was saying? Second, I used to watch ALMS a lot in like '02-'04 (went to Laguna Seca and Infineon Raceway, too), but I don't remember anything like that. OTOH, it was 8-10 years ago.They kinda do it in ALMS as well.
Ah. Makes sense, considering how large the track is. (That sounds familiar now, too.)There are 3 separate safety cars at Le Mans, so the field gets split into thirds during periods of full course cautions.

Im watching the 2001 Daytona 24 hours on youtube right now
5 classes and 80 cars. Sounds like what we'll have next year
Whatever you do just make sure you do go.Planning would make it alot better
Thanks for the link. 👍I didn't know.. good (brief) read.
I get the feeling its exactly the same reason Porsche didn't like the Lazano Brother's Cayenne based V8s (which often out-performed their own classic Flat-6).
Photos: I've got a lot. Be prepared.
That No.16 Porsche Cayman was by far one of the best looking cars this year.
Look familiar?Familiar Cayman colours...
It's usually so that the driver can get out of the vehicle in the event of a fire or wreck. I presume the prototypes have the door panels lightly secured so that they're easy for the driver or a rescue worker to release, but that's not as practical with a (theoretically, if not actually) road-derived vehicle like the GT cars.
