Last time I checked, the GT class in ALMS was pretty balanced even with all the diversity among cars and tires. LMP2 the same, and in LMP1 its not HPD fault Dyson couldn't figure thier car out.

Not diesel nor hybrid. Just a Cayman with a 911 engine stuffed in. I don't pretend to understand the reasoning.

ah, that's lame!

I guess there is something experimental about putting a petrol powered 911 engine in a Caymen. Shocked

Then a V8 Vega is experimental too?

The Rolex GT is pretty damn even, too. Its got Audi R8s, 458s, 911s, Camaros, M3s, a Corvette, a Mustang program, an Aston Martin program, and something else I feel I'm forgetting. All of it are pretty close, too.

LMP2 is balanced... all self destruct evenly.

After a long week (of trying to regain the sleep I lost this past weekend), I put up my time lapse video of the fog rolling in on the Rolex 24. I shot it with my iPhone, so don't expect to get HD video.

no need for a time laps on that it rolled in, in less than 5 minutes

Haha. Yeah. Didn't want anybody to fall asleep partway through.
