On the bright side, they're still working on the GT3 side at least. It would probably be better that way anyway. Get GT3 efforts here in IMSA first and go from there depending on interest. Plus they'll get an extra year of engine development to see how viable the V8 will be for prototype use based upon how the GT3 car responds to the tracks on schedule.

This V8 has been in use for several years you know (like 2011 or something). :p But I guess North American endurance mileage would be good before stuffing it into a Multimatic.

I think they need to check and see if that exhaust is leaking into the car again.

Jordan never fails to crack me up. :lol:

Yes, but it's opposite day so they were making sure the drivers were on drugs.

Today on FS1, we have quite the race for you...................................................and commercials:mischievous:
 
P looks interesting based off of this practice results. GTLM looks a little more balanced, but the Porsches and Ferraris still need a little help. Hard to tell if Vettes got OP at this point since one car 3 has a lap about .8 quicker than car 4 but the adjustments certainly gave them more speed.
 
When is qualifying?

According to the schedule in about 45 minutes

Well this sucks, imsa.tv isn't broadcasting it for me. Anyone else having this issue?
 
Ford's (rightfully, imo) still in the top 3 in qualifying. But .5 covers top 6 or 7. That's great for the race.
 
The Porsches are helpless with their current pace. Corvette got one car ahead of the turbo Fords and BMWs for a well-deserved pole.
 
I wonder how much power does a .2mm restrictor increase gives?

It would be interesting to see a chart or something with the size of restrictor in comparison to horsepower.

This an engine of a completely different size and larger gaps with restrictors. I guess it's better than nothing. You could also check in Project Cars for example to see the changes.

I think the Corvette also had an air/fuel ratio change and a weight break for IMSA.
 
Corvette received a +.4 mm increase, not .2

The Corvette BOP is the same as it was at Daytona- 1240kg,29.9mm

Porsche still uncompetitive. 1 second off pole time at Mosport is a joke.

The car is lighter than it has been all year and it still cant compete it might be time to look at the car and the drivers and wonder what the problem is.

6.2lbs lighter. Big difference there. :rolleyes:

That weight reduction is worth nothing.
