The excitement continues to build.

Worth noting that Sargeant also has a new manager in Oliver Gavin. Not sure if that was all it took was a change in manager to change course, but its good to see him back.

Bovy wasnt injured, Gatting was. The Dames IMSA program is run by Proton, I doubt their absence is a coincidence.

***The Lamborghini SC63 has taken its first Evo joker update ahead of this weekend’s race, with the Ligier-chassied LMDh car debuting an all-new rear suspension, confirmed by a Lamborghini spokesperson. Sportscar365 understands that Riley-run factory team tested the car at both Indianapolis and Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta prior to this weekend in the updated configuration.


***This weekend’s race is the second-to-last scheduled outing for the SC63, with the Italian manufacturer having previously announced that it will “pause” the program next year. Further clarity on the future of the car is expected to come during a media roundtable meeting with key executives on Saturday.

A hail mary attempt to save this program? Why bother if its not, just sell them off to some collector and go back to GT3 sales.

The #60 MSR Acura failed post-Quali tech, bringing it to the rear and promoting the #31 Whelen Cadillac to pole.

Another rogue employee is getting the ax at MSR huh.

There is a chance of rain and T-storms in the last half of the race.

And here we go !

Does LMP2 normally start that close to GTP? People in iRacing get pissed right off when that happens lol

 

[Imbissbrunto]

Did the Ferrari just lose its mirror?

Yes, that was the same for Road America.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Crowdstrike LMP2 decided to try and take a beach vacation.

The Lamborghini SC63 looks healthier, pace is good.

 

[Imbissbrunto]

As an aside I never noticed how small these Hypercars / LMPs actually are. The Mustang makes them look tiny!

I've been near (like, inches near in the paddocks) the GTPs at CTMP 2 years ago and I can tell you they're not small at all, the Mustang is just humongous. They're about the same length as a 5-Series, but wider and obviously lower.

Well, not the best moments from Cadillac here..

Alright I wouldn‘t have expected that. Tbf I have never seen modern prototype race cars in person.

 

[Venom800tt]

The older DPi cars were actually smaller than the current crop of LMDh and LMH cars. Though even still I felt the LMDh cars were still pretty small in person, but then when everything on the road is a mid-sized SUV or full sized truck, everything is pretty small 🤣
And next year hopefully I can go to the IMSA race at Indy, since it isn't super far away. Still need to prep all my camping gear for Petit though lol

 

[suomi1]

Nahhh! Not the Lamborghini! Leave it alone!

 

[suomi1]

Things are getting messy...

 

[-Fred-]

LMP2 doing LMP2 things, again.

 

[suomi1]

And this is how it ends I guess.

 

[Imbissbrunto]

Man that sucks for #04

Edit: Great racing by the Cadillacs, especially Ricky Taylor in the last few laps.

 

[suomi1]

I wasn't expecting a restart.

I'm glad everyone shown a good pace here.
Congrats to the Cadillacs.

I like all the penalties and the better driving standards
