I'm in Austin this week for work, and I noticed everyone here calls it Le Mans (it's Lone Star Le Mans on the is site). What about it is Le Mans-like? It's not a particularly long race. It's not in France. While it does have many of the same cars, that's true of most of the Tudor USCC races.

haha, I guess you will have to ask the Circuit of the Americas, The American LeMans organization, IMSA, etc. that question. I just call it that because its what is on the tickets

I'll be there. Rv spot 50. Stop by.

TUSC has no LMP1 cars. The 919 is a huge difference from DPs - DPs are like dump trucks in comparison!! Not 24 hours - but still a 6 hour enduro with the top sports car teams in the world competing under full ACO/FIA rules.

You guys talking about COTA or Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta?

We're going to Petit.

Actually on a plane heading there now. I scored a weekend outing with the DMG Mori team. Get to see the 919 up close, can't wait.

Great fun today at the race. Got to spend a little time with Detlev. A couple of quotes:

To my comment that I have a 991 GT3 on order - "sorry about all the delays and issues with GT3 production, we've got it right now"...

To my comment that I am hopeful I will secure an RS - "what RS?" (then big smile)

I was there today from 9-2 in the Porsche Loft. Pretty awesome place to be. Was anyone else hanging out there? I liked the Real Racing simulator driving the RSR.

Any other RS tid bits come out of his mouth?

Love bassets. Had one growing up named Buford

Yeah we were there. My dealer had a car in the race. Fun day. The rain made it interesting.

Also, I like how Webber came up to the booth and did Q&A. When I arrived, I got there at the same time as two of the other 919 drivers ( they arrived in a cayman s). We shared a golf cart to main building.
