Default 24hr Rolex

Congrats to David and the entire Brumos team. He has been working with a friend of mine developing a 4ltr Cayman during the off-season. It has been an education watching him drive and develop the suspension changes at the local track (Thunderbolt). It was funny during one of our instructor meetings that David commented on the racing surface from the crowd. While our club members knew who he was, I think a lot of the other attendees had know idea as he just blends in on purpose.

JPM and Memo both complained about the Porsche having a power advantage. Cry me a river, JPM and Memo - Porsche 3.6L 6 cyl vs. 4.5L V8 in the Lexus... Could it be the Lexus team had advantages when they won the past three years in a row, and Porsche finally figured it out?
Way to finish it out, David Donahue and Brumos!

I agree that the complaining was out of place. But you need to know that the dp porsches (except spirit of daytona) were running 4.0 liter motors... The same spec engines as in the 2009 rsr.

It's been my experience that "most" race drivers are like David. Even Hurley is like that, here in town.
Then there is Montoya and the F1 crowd...CRIPES! those guys and many neckcar guys need to work for a living!

I was going to say that. We need more public info on this powerplant. It seems bulletproof.

Stop picking on Montoya.
His Corolla would have won if it was as light and powerful as the Porsche Rileys.

Glad I caught the interview with JPM and got to hear him whine.
