Less to do with Orbit, more to do with the fact that Nick Tandy just became a Porsche Works driver...that's called earning his pay. Well done.

We always qualify well at Daytona, and the current Cup is outclassed virtually everywhere else by the new GT3 derived machinery. The new Cup can't get here fast enough. In reality, the GT3-R is what they should be racing against those 458's and R8's in Rolex GT.

Fixed it for ya...


It's great to see the 997 Cups still this competitive against the newer machinery of the competitors...and in qualifying no less when they are just trying to lay down the fastest single lap.

Props to my local guys Wright Motorsports. Mother and son of the Snow family running as part of that team. Would be pretty cool to be racing with Mom!

Not really, only RSR gearbox ... and that is for most front runners. Stock sub-frames, up rights, engine with restrictor (4.0)

Should be a great race, I talked to Martin Snow via text earlier, said they were feeling pretty good going in. Best wishes to Melanie and Madison and Magnus!
