2014 United Sports Car Championship

[Metfanant]

I forgot they were there last year, I guess it was because they didn't do more than average, plus the BoP screwed them.

they has ZERO straight line speed at Le Mans....none whatsoever...they could have run a flawless 24hrs and there was no way they were going to win

10 min shoot out! this should be good!

 

[GTPorsche]

But the Corvette and Ford Ecoboost cars are not? I mean I thought the unification would make all of the series the same classifications.

I think that's still being worked on/discussed. They do plan on it happening.

 

[MLDoom]

I have a feeling they threw that yellow flag in there for a "more" exciting finish.

What bugs me too is that their "quick" cautions are still 10 minutes long. Should be able to resolve a quick caution in 3-4 minutes.

 

[Jav]

Lol!! Car goes off, bump comes back on track keeps going no biggie... Oh there full yellow!! These clowns really can't help it, impossible to just leave a race run its course naturally.

That's because of the BoP the same one that screwed everyone but Porsche and Aston Martin. The ACO GTE debacle was heard very loud after it all.

 

[AnAL0G]

Why is my stream lagging just now?

 

[Blitz24]

Alright, so the first driver to cross the line in about 11 minutes will win the race (GT6 style).

no...they supposedly BoP'd the 2 different classes to be equal...but the P2's have NOTHING for the DP's...its sad...

 

[R0ssingt0n]

May as well have just been the Daytona 10 minutes. Stupid caution.

 

[Clark]

There wasn't even anything to clear up, this is the only thing that stops American racing being perfect. The organiser always throw stupid cautions to add some artificial excitement when it isn't even needed.

yup...seems like USCR has the GTLM's running very even...which is good...hopefully things are sorted for Le Mans...

 

[GTPorsche]

Not even 10 minutes to the end when this gets going... maybe 8.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Eh. As much as it ruins the race, it is pretty exiting.

I'd rather have seen the merge NOT be run by NASCAR. Then again, I'm not sure who would be far and away a better option.

 

[R0ssingt0n]

I just can't get excited to watch something that is basically artificial.

Sad part is that is usually how it happens even in Nascar, screw the many laps prior "we'll throw a late caution and make it exciting!!! that will get more fans to watch!" That's the mentality of this type of racing regulation in the states, luckily IRL hasn't been hit by it yet.

 

[nascarfan1400]

What are they doing?! They are all lined up...

 

[PsuPepperoni]

I need a new stream

 

[GTPorsche]

What's the next move? A green-white-checker?

 

[RACECAR]

no...they supposedly BoP'd the 2 different classes to be equal...but the P2's have NOTHING for the DP's...its sad...

Its only the first race and unsurprisingly, the cars that raced here the most ended being the ones that were better. Yes the DPs were faster but if anyone has paid attention to the last two years in Grand Am, the Corvette DPs have always outpaced everyone.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Green green green!

Any time a caution is thrown it is almost half of the time for something artificial sadly.

Welcome to our world

 

[Blitz24]

How long has it been since the last Rolex 24 ended under yellow? Wasn't it in 2003?

 

[PsuPepperoni]

This is AWESOME

 

[Blitz24]

Winkelhock is done. Level 5 will win GTD.

 

[GTPorsche]

And there goes the battle in GT-D. 👎

 

[Bo]

Winkelhock's got a problem... stupid contact.
