I didn't know we had a resident Canadian team! I'm going to have to find out more about Bullet.

From ALMS at Mosport last summer...

Yeah we have bullet, they are holding a steady 20th place in the daytona so far at 19hours left to go in the race they have kept clean and out of trouble so far.


GOOOOO BULLET RACING>

I have the race on in the background at home... it's fantastic to see so many Porsche's in the field but would also be great to see some more manufacturer diversity!

The night racing is pretty exciting. I'm going to keep my eyes out for Bullet now!

The R8's and the BMW's are having their butt's handed to them.

So far it seems to be an RSR race to lose with the the Government Motor's car from the 'Shwa' somehow not eating it's diff...yet.

Good race so far. Its frustrating to see Neiman drag the Lizard team down every time he gets behind the wheel. Its definitely Porsche's race to lose in GT.

great post TURBOS I love that video. really cant wait till alms mosport I want to see some of these cars running around our track again.

As for Daytona it was some great racing at the 24 this year, I enjoyed the coverage they had online and on speed. I was glued to the tv and the internet. Too bad bullet racing didnt do better that they did but they are still quite a young team and they are learning. Atleast they made it thru the night and finished the race I guess. As for the rest of them, TRG must have been disappointed they didnt take the win considering they were running 5 cars. Magnus killed it, They were running well all weekend and totaly desurved the win. The lizard really should have done better, they were running well most of the time also too bad about the few complications they encountered, they really had a chance.


I wonder if Bullet racing will come to mosport???

It's an accomplishment to just finish a race such as the 24h of Daytona, says a lot about the teams and the cars that managed, so from that point of view, Bullet deserves a round of applause.

I thought it was a fantastic race overall, I can't say I watched the whole thing but I had it on in the background for most of Saturday evening and Sunday. I wish they focused more on the GT class as I personally don't find myself as interested in the prototypes. THey're really cool and impressive, but there's much more of a connection to the GT class since you can directly relate to the cars out there as race-versions of the street cars we know and love. I absolutely love that about it and feel like I'm 8 years old every time I watch an RSR go by...

Can't wait for ALMS to come to Mosport, one of the highlights of my summer in 2011!

I would be there in a second. Im going next year forsure. I want to race sooo bad its not even funny. i dont think I have felt this pasionate about anything in my whole life.

I had the race on the entire time, I was glued to the screen, I had a live streaming on my double screen computor and speeds night coverage that was streamed all night long when it was cut off the television.
The only time i left the race was to go get food and take a washroom break. I love endurance races. there were live feed right from the magnus racing pitbox the whole night ( that was on my other screen) 3 views of the race going on with a live chat) best race I ever watched.Hell its only once a year may as well make the most of it.
