so Larbre competition announced today that they aren't going to do WEC, but decided to run Porsche Carrera Cup instead, siting; "...the way we believe is correct: without Balance of Performance!”

lmao

altho they are listed as an alternate for the 24hrs of Le Mans in LMP2

I was just reading some notes on Sebring testing. It seems that Action Express' DP was the fastest, but close behind was the oAK Racing Nissan P2... parity between classes? Cool Cool

Edit: a quick check of Ten Tenths proved my source as outdated, as in the final session, OAK topped AEX's best lap, as did Spirit of Daytona. So, P2 and DP may well be on equal footing at Sebring. This one should be very interesting to say the least.

That will look awesome on the TORA 24 Hours of Le Mans cars this year!

On another note, Fox Sports (USA) has announced their tv schedule, so I won't be seeing the Petit Le Mans this year I guess.

I am happy at how much racing does make it on considering FOX Sports 1 and 2 are otherwise all UFC all the time.

BTW, if I dare say "U.F.C." to my wife, I would get slapped as she knows what those letters really mean.

Sebring just isn't the same without P1 and ALMS. I'm not a fan of these DP's.

Anyone see Matteo malucelli go full retard today in T1?

by F4H Carrera Sat 15 Mar 2014 - 18:30

Yup. Not the greatest of rejoins!

by Turbo Power 77 Sat 15 Mar 2014 - 18:45

Very stupid.

From what I read on twitter, this race is a crashfest.

by Velox Canadian Sat 15 Mar 2014 - 19:13

It is. Its run mostly under caution.

by F4H Carrera Sat 15 Mar 2014 - 20:15

Another silly rejoin crash

As I tweeted:

Less wrecks when those with the money FUND those with the talent.

SAME GUY...

... I may not be a pro driver, but seems to me that when your car goes dead, the grass would be a better/safer place to fiddle with switches.
