GTPlanet, this motorsports thread is about Pontiac's rule in Grand-Am's highest class, the Rolex Sports Car Series. Ever since the Grand-American Road Racing Association (GARRA) had Daytona Prototypes rule by wiping out the many interesting classes of racing, Pontiac has seen some success away from their NASCAR days. I usually rag on Pontiac as being not really an exciting car brand ever since the demise of the Firebird/Trans-Am. Now that Pontiac-powered race cars have really put on a good job and advertising their success in their commercials, such as (indirect quote) "Pontiac: First at Mont-Tremblant." Or even (indirect quote) "Porsche and BMW, look out." In the most recent round at Daytona, Pontiac has won big in the Brumos Porsche 250's DP class. The debut of the stylish GTO.R wasn't a good one as BMW won in GT class at Daytona.
GTPlanet, how do you see Pontiac's rule in Grand-Am? Should we give them respect for their performance ever since they've been at the top of the class as their commercials imply?
