IMSA isn't using the 2007 ACO rules for P2 with the 5 % power restriction.

Yeah, I read that news this week, but still it's pretty amazing that the P2 cars are able to keep up and even surpass the P1 cars (read Audis) especially with the 20+ mph speed differential on the straight before T17.

Just got back from Sebring. Decided to drive back home and watch the rest of it on TV. I ran out of energy after 7 hours of walking the entire course. I'm hurting with a sunburn-eat your heart out you Northerners!

Those Audi R10's are amazing. You can hardly hear their motors and they just seem so smooth.

This was a lot of fun and next time I go, I'll take an RV like all those other smart people so I can take a break and last the entire race.

did anyone watch the part with a speed tv reporter saying honda instead of acura to david brabham? david just looked at him (plus awkward silence) and said, "do you mean acura?"

cooleyjb

Yeah, I saw that. However they are the same company so it's not that big of a deal IMO. Brabham made it seem like he was saying Mercedes instead of BMW.

i remember reading back in the fall of 2005 the rumors about honda entering the alms with rahal.

That post about all of speed's coverage being the damned pits is spot on. I've been watching since about 5pm and @ 915pm I have seen perhaps a total of 1 hour of actual racing. SPEED sux...ofcourse no coverage would be worse by a multiple of 50.

Motors TV did a great job of covering le mans last year.

They do spend a lot of time in the pits, but you have to consider they have to play to the lowest common denominator (NASCAR fans who are waiting for Fishin' With Dale Jr. to start.)

F1 not so much- who else is up at 3am watching live racing?

But if you really think Speed has crappy coverage... I have only 2 words... Paul Page.

F1 coverage starts at 7:30 for the west coast.

When I was flying home from LeMans 2006, by pure coincidence, I was seated next to the tire tech from the Lizards team. What a great guy, Nelson a good ole boy from Kentucky. We talked shop for 9 hours straight. He fired up his laptop and we analyzed telemetry from the race, it was the quickest 9 hrs ever.

Cool! I came back from Europe little over a week ago & Bergmeister was on a same plane, unfortunately I saw him only at Miami airport when picking up luggage.

P.S. Of course everyone needs to stay up and watch F1! Are you bunch a wimps or something?!

What a day- The only time I didn't pay attention to Speed was during the obligatory NASCAR shows during Sebring. I took the chance to install tow eyes on the 944.
