Sure, I enjoy seeing the race there, but I was hoping for some/more US racing.

Me too. Looks like IMSA GTD team/s will be our fall back.

Not sure why my twitter link doesn't show on the PC version of Rennlist vs. the mobile, but I added a YT link in the post for some glorious RSR noise.

Slightly off topic, but back when Pat and Jorge were racing 911s with Flying Lizard, I was able to pick up a steering wheel used in the championship car from a charity auction. It's proudly displayed in my living room, haha.

This is fitting as they’ll be at Sebring this weekend.

There's nothing quite like the angry bumble bee up close and personal. They were the loudest cars on the track at Petit.

Couldn’t have had a better result in the send off race. Finished 1, 2 in GTLM at Sebring. 🍾

Though they didn’t have a great season overall; it was a great way to finish, by closing it out with three consecutive victories.

ALSO, took a 1, 2 finish at Bahrain (WEC) and finished 2nd overall in the standings.

Now the primary focus is in the WEC... Looking forward to next season

Stopped by LS yesterday. Seems like regs have gotten better for sure since spring.

Finished the trip off with a nice dinner at Roy’s on Spanish Bay (Pebble Beach).

Feels good to be back.









Patrick Long




Met the owner of this beautiful RUF. He saw us admiring it & came riding in on the Weathertech 79 golf cart. We spoke about some of the special details on his car. Didn’t catch his name, but my guess is he’s a big fish with Proton Competition.
