Looks like fun!
Hey, I was wondering, are the GS and ST cars weights with driver or without? Ive heard they are heavy, but with driver, cars like the V8 BMW have to weigh 3250bs without driver, meaning near 3550lbs with driver and gas?
It's a little better that this for the porsche, Mustang GT and normal BMW at 3050lbs. I find it interesting that the BMW and mustang weight the same whe that Crammer motor puts out a rumored 400+hp to the wheels , even with a restrictor.
should be a good race.

Just finished a tour of the Penske Porsche trailer and paddock pit. Spoke with Dumas and the team manager, who also managed the LMP2 Spyder program. Dumas was icing down his ankle and taping it up when we got to the team trailer.
One of the coolest things in their pit was a full 4 corner balancing scale made of carbon fiber. They said it was the envy of the other teams.
