Four Liter

Anyone else have a sinking feeling after seeing the LM 911's end up 8th, 9th , and 10th in a ten car field ? Don't know if there is more to it than meets the eye - they looked good at the Roar a couple weeks ago . The fastest one is nearly a second off the Corvette pole .

Just in time

I just saw the practice session. Track conditions are somewhat off. It is overcast while tomorrow looks sunnier. Don't know what setup they were running. The cars looked good on the track. At one point in time they were up to third. I have no idea if there was some kind of BOP sandbagging going on.

I watched several of the races last season. While they were consistent all season (which helps in season points), they were consistently mediocre. If the C7.R team figures out how to keep the car from breaking, it will crush the 911s. The engine in the 911 just seemed way underpowered for the job.

Manufactured drama...

I don't see anything interesting there... All of the cars are restricted to certain power numbers, but max power doesn't tell the whole story. The RSR last year was definitely the slowest car down the straights. Somehow even beaten by the Z4 (an ancient platform)

If I remember correctly Daytona was the one place they were fast - don't know if the BOP rules kicked in after that .

2015 Daytona Continental Sports Car Challenge - Rum Bum Porsche 911 wins GS Class and overall, Caymans finish one two in Street Tuner. This was today.

It is real early for the race weekend and for the season. It is not unusual for most teams, including the C7R Corvettes, to "sandbag" their times and their speed. Any show of exceptional speed early in the season will just mean additional weight penalty throughout the rest of the season. So Daytona and Sebring are usually sorting out races. The real show will come around LeMans. You will not really know what they're up to until that time.

in a 24 hour event anything can happen.
Qualifying never really shows results.

Does anyone know the Year and Model / HP of the Rum Bum Porsche 911 Continental Challenge car that won today?

The final practice for the 24 Hour Race saw an improvement.

If it were a shorter race I'd be concerned. But in a 24 hour race reliability and consistency are far more important -- as long as you aren't completely off the pace. A second off the Vettes shouldn't be an issue because they'll break.

That motor will do almost 600whp unrestricted. It makes as much power as the series allows unfortunately.

It's about the power curve. Even in the early going you can see the C7.R pulls way harder down the straights than the RSRs.

I guess I am happy either way, since I just got a 2015 Z06.
