That's my question too....I saw the reference to PL running with them in the "Weissach to run LMP1" post. But nothing is mentioned (that I could find) on either PL's site or Park Place.

Looks like the proverbial "cat" is out of the bag.... According to this article Patrick will be driving with the Park Place team for the 24 Hours at Daytona - Planet LeMans Article

why isn't Flying Lizard running at Daytona? the GTC car they'll be running in ALMS this year is effectively the GA GT car.

the last few years they've leased cars from Wright Motorsports, IIRC...

I think there are some pretty big differences between competitive GrandAM GT and GTC cars, gearbox is the big one...

Nice group of cars. What sort of lap times did the 3R run?

He told me his best time was a low 1:47. How did that compare to the rest of the field?

Chuck Cole..the red and blue 09 cup (GTC4 Legal Car, finished 2nd at CotA F1 Support Race) got down into the 1:52's! Missing bumper cover due to a tire that let go. The car is also for sale if anyone is interested...he has his eye on IMSA Platinum for 2013. His email is chuckccole@aol.com.

Rolex car ran well...will see what it posts officially at the Roar and then at the 24hr. We were very pleased with the test. J
