Page 3 pisses me off. GM with it's usual BS refusal to sell to customers, HPD trying to decide which outdated car to use or shift the focus to GTD, and Alfa,Nissan,and Bentley all in the "meh" category. Atleast Mazda is likely to support other customer programs it seems.

Hugh is finding that he has much less influence here than back at home it seems. http://sportscar365.com/imsa/iwsc/de-chaunac-i-dont-see-many-dpi-manufacturers-in-2017/ The game is not as much fun when you propose/write- err support the rules changes and just have to say yes sir.

Now that I'm able to see IMSA's graphics showing the car that didn't start the race... have to feel bad for @Christhedude not getting to race today.

And keyboard warrior DHH spinning others now.

yea we didnt start the race because our lambo cought fire in the warm up and wasnt enough time to get it repaired for the race.

I would use that. Hopefully it's not actually 1 use for the main event.

For the weekend that'd be the cat's .........

Pajamas?

It sounds so much like a April fools . 40 dollars on something your just gunna throw away at the end if the day seems alittle pricey. Step in the right direction though! 👍

Do you mind if you PM me what exactly caught fire on the car? I've just come back from a test and had a fire in our car. Wondering if it could be related.

Butt ugly returns.

The car looks great, but that windshield

It is week old news but I did not see in a search and figured this would be the best thread for it.

March 31st marked the last day of operation for Brumos Porsche.
"The biggest change is that we will lose the Brumos name." said Hurley Haywood, Legendary Porsche Driver and Brumos Porsche VP

FP1 now.

Let's see how Ashley Freiberg does in PC this weekend, her first race in that class. She's in the #88 popcorn sutton car.
Fastest lap for her 1:21.603, .3ish behind Bennett, not too bad. Kvamme in the car now.

Stuck it into the tires on her 2nd lap.

Session ended early, #67 on fire.

 

[IforceV8]

Yeah I hope the chassis is OK because I am not sure if they have a spare here in the U.S.

I'm sure it just coincidence that the top 6 P cars are all virtually confirmed 2017 DPi programs.💡

Well she passed the first criteria to be in the PC class.

From qualifying. Going to be a long weekend for the #88 me thinks.

Fox needs to fix their audio, they do not have the mics focused just on the cars passing by, it's creating a loud roar in the background with the passing cars being quiet.
