6 hours @ the Glen

No just 2 drivers

I' don't know. All I know is at VIR when it was 90F I was basically heat stroked after 50 minutes.


Multimatic who builds the Mustang GT4 said they would consider it but didnt think enough people would pay ofr the option. The window has a 3" disc that angles out to give some ventilation when the car is moving. FIA rules say GT4 cars must have windows up.

 

Aston has been quite successful at the Glen in Continental. I'm so looking forward to this event. The new pavement is awsome.

 

Super nice, I'll pass this along to the team.

 

The new pavement is indeed awesome, I raced on it in April. Much more grip, no bumps. The only weird thing is some grooving/bumps on the seams on the back straight. Can be weird at 150 mph....

 

Happy to pass along the full files if they are interested. I also have shots from Daytona this year in addition to Mid-Ohio and will obviously be at The Glen this weekend as well.

 

Forecast 98F on Sat for the 4 hour Conti race, 101F on Sun for the 6 Hour WeatherTech. Cars and drivers and spectators are going to be burning up!

 

It's hot. Surprisingly not to humid. The driver's will earn it tomorrow.

 

Geez, that move that the #99 car put on Montoya on the last restart was amazing. The Red Dragon is back!

 

That was awesome.

 

What an amazing and HOT weekend. According to my fitbit I walked 26 miles over the course of the weekend. I am not sure if I believe that, but it was a lot.

I am really curious to hear more about the #29 Audi. Between them parking the car yesterday, and the penalties at Daytona, I have a hard time imagining they will ever be back.

 

didn't see the race-my VPN wasn't working and I don't have cable, so couldn't watch. so I went to the beach instead.

good to see the P2 cars have a fair fight with the DPi's for a change.

didn't hear about the #29 penalty-what happened? from what I saw on twitter post-race, a lot of people were pissed about poor driving standards.

 

They were given a penalty for working on their car in a closed pit lane. They protested by not serving the penalty and were given another penalty on top of it. They then decided to park the car because there was only 15 minutes or so left in the race.

It sounds like they were screwed pretty hard in Daytona but the rules are pretty clear about working on a car in a closed pit lane. I'm curious to hear more of the story.

As far as this race goes, it was EASILY one of the best motorsports races of 2018. 100% entertainment start to finish which is quite a feat given it was a 6 hour race in nearly 100 degree weather. If IMSA doesn't **** up BoP moving forward, we are in for one hell of a season moving forward.

 

I still wish there were Ferraris in GTLM.....

There has to be more to the story from Land. Otherwise it appears as though they threw a temper tantrum, and packed up their toys and went home.

Magnus of course had a great response.. https://www.facebook.com/RacingMagnus/photos/a.159649650821072.31140.110504152402289/1735542319898456/?type=3&theater

 

I like Magnus, but come on, they finished 12th in class and are now in 10th place overall in GTD. At this point being TOP AUDI is like being the tallest midget.

 

I don't think they meant that to be a serious race report.

 

I'm not sure Magnus Racing have ever done a serious race report. They probably wouldn't even know where to start.

 

Lots of analysis online over the timing of the FCY and the light system for closing the pits vs. the position and timing of the various cars entering pitlane. Land were not the only ones guilty of the offense.

 

And that is why we love them

 

Canada picked up where Watkins left off. Another awesome race!

 

Agreed. It was a pretty competitive and entertaining weekend all around...IMSA, F1, IndyCar, and NASCAR.
