Default ALMS: Where's the Core Autosports RSR?

I can't see any web yak yak or anything recent on the Core Autosports website about their ALMS Porsche GT effort? Anyone know if it's still going to join the series?

They're scheduled to debut at Laguna Seca, the next event.

Anybody know what the technical infraction was that moved the Core car to the end of the line for the Monterey race?

4mm. Such a silly oversight. Based on the speed we saw, I'm really looking forward to seeing them soon. The livery looks great IMHO. And it's always great to see Long in an RSR again.

Qualified 2nd. Not a bad start.

Patrick Long
“I’m happy. We ran raced with teams that have been front runners for years. We ran through a bunch of pit stops, a bunch of strategy and finished the race. The things that set us back today were all out of our control. I got hit four times.

“We did exactly what we set out to do, which was to band together as a team. And, we battled back from adversity. Rome wasn’t built in a day; we have to continue building after every single session.

“We had a great start. We were able to get right up to the back of the GT field and started going through them. Ultimately, what stopped our progress was getting spun out in the Corkscrew by the No. 62. We had good speed in the car though and we know a few things we want to work on.

“This was our first weekend out and we’re already a factor in the race. The end result isn’t what we wanted, but you can’t judge a weekend’s performance by the finish position. That’s not just me putting a positive spin on things, that’s genuinely looking back at what we’ve built as a team.”
