WC race is on now - www.world-challengetv.com

Edit: Weird - I had some NBC feed for a minute or so.

Terrible WSC coverage again. Video and audio weren't watching the same race, and there was hardly any video coverage of the GT cars towards the end of the race. Replay of the start would have been a good idea since PL was black flagged for jumping the start. And what happened to Safronas on the start? He fell way back but recoverdd and made a mad dash to the front. Oh well, I guess it's better than nothing....

Nice driving James, in fact all the GMG cars showed strong! Great race, looked like a lot of fun from the top of turn one.

The WC race was a barn burner.....had a problem in qualifying that we found before the race and then on the 1st lap, got tapped from behind coming out of the hairpin and had tank-slapper......had to get out of it and lost 4-5 spots. I then had to push hard to get to the front.......burned the tires down and couldn't catch Davis at the end.....Dino would have finished right behind me but a Mustang didn't see him and came down on him, destroying his splitter......bummer.

Great race Jim, my bet would be that the Caddy is playing it cool and will be a force to recon with as they set about climbing the charts on their way up to the front without a lot of scrutiny. I hope Porsche race managment has a plan for you to combat these guys.

There is not a doubt in my mind that the Caddies will be a force and I wouldn't be surprised to see one of them on the podium at Miller and/or Mosport where the Porsches will struggle......It won't help that myself and Long will have 105 and 123 pounds of rewards weight respectively.

That was a heck of a race James. I was shouting at my computer for you guys! I can't wait to see the post production event on TV.
