Sounds like the #7 Spyder just crashed in practice as a result of the Farnbacher car having issues. Too bad, it sounds like it might be tough for the car to make qualifying.

 

No , it was the Vici car.
With the race being only 1h:55 min (and I don't think they'll make it to qualy) it looks like a tough race for Dumas.
Good to see the 997's so competitive!

 

I knew I would find the answer on Rennlist! Thanks! I hope they make it at least for the race.

 

BRILLIANT!!!

THE 997RSR TAKES POLE IN GT2 - WITH NEW TRACK RECORD!!!

CONGRATULATIONS PORSCHE!!!!!

 

In a picture posted by DMW44 in another thread it looked like there were 3 Penske Spiders in their pit area. Do they have a spare car?

 

No. Not in the paddock anyway.

 

The rear engine platform is done. You just can't make it go fast enough.

 

Time to race the cayman, mid engine is best, I mean, look at the Ferrari's.

 

anyone knows what happened to the Vici car?

 

Apparently it has suffered chassis damage and has been withdrawn from the race.

 

I'm over the moon with the qualifying results, but......we need to keep in mind that this type of a track affords some advantage to the 997's rear engine layout (i.e. point and squirt)
The real proof will lie when we get to the "real" road courses.
Last years car was less efficient than the F430's in the medium and fast corners.

Having said that, I'm much more hopeful now!

 

I was considering going home to watch the race but my 951 is continuing to fight back. It has regrouped several times.

I hope you enjoy the race Seacay. Take some good shots.

 

I've already posted some in another thread.

 

Sorry, I was just repeating what Radio Le Mans had said. I tried to update my post but Rennlist was down for hours yesterday. The Penske crews' work to get the 7 car back on the grid to qualify first in P2 was incredible.

 

Absolutely! I couldn't believe that the # 7 got back on track for qualy.
Penske really is a remarkable team!

Let's keep ou fingers crossed for the race.
May the Gods of Zuffenhausen be with them!
