Yes, we will try make a run for the win and championship but the points delta to Black Swan will be difficult to overcome. It appears ALMS will only allow 5 GTC entries at Petit due to a very high number of other entries for this event, this means BS can still collect good points no matter what...

We are the low man on the pole in ALMS so the first class to get field size restrictions, this is too bad because I think GTC has offered great and exciting racing in every event this year...

Either way Spencer, Duncan and I will fight hard and hopefully have an equally great result!!

Well all this contact could make the Petit LeMans race a 12 hour demolition derby....
It's going to no holds barred with the c'ship already decided.
You should come over for it.

GT3R Hybrid finished ahead of the GT class (ahead of Bergmeister/Long). Too bad it's UNC. It's truly an amazing machine/technology!

I think you need an engineering degree just to figure out all the buttons on the hybrid's steering wheel! I saw the car when it debuted at last year's Petit, and it is a great looking machine.

That GT3 hybrid looked blistering FAST!!! and Laguna seemed to suit it.

What a great race that was from start to finish! I agree with others that they need to do something about the coverage even though for me it is nice to watch it in HD on ESPN3 when ever I want. In full screen mode the "press esc to exit full screen" tab would not go away? WTF? I have a excellent signal at my house and had to reboot the race several times!

amazing! so, the main diffrence is the "push to pass " of 50hp or something and then the extra weigth the car has overall? interesting that it was so fast and actually beat the GT field!
The shape of things to come?
