yeah.... not a happy start for speedsource overall

this is the first time i've really watched the race for any length, I hope our Rotary boys pull some miracles out!

 

Damn it. Watching it on Speed. ****.

 

yeah they are...69 to the garage front fender crash...70 in pits replaceing the fuel cell

 

not good...lower A arm needs to be replaced. they are pushing it back to the garage now. he was leading the race...

 

well the only good news is that suspension parts are made to be changed (even though they dont want to have to do it). As opposed to the 70 car, you dont plan on changing the fuel cell

 

ahh! The Dempsey mazda has spun a few times too... geez, c'mon boys!

 

Dempsey rx8 has spun out twice as well.

 

frack. That porsche broke hard and early for no reason. Schmuck. Oh well. Still a long race but two cars behind the wall is pretty rough.

 

Watching it right now, not much win for the Mazdas at this early stage...

On the bright side, it IS early, at least we've still got 22+ hours to go. Maybe one of the RX-8s can pull something out!

 

Apparently he was braking early due to cold tires... but he did pull back across the front of the 69 just before that

 

What the hell was that Porsche doing? From what I could tell, he nailed the brakes VERY early for that corner. It's not looking good for the 8s this year, and we're just over an hour in. Yikes.

 

Well, there's always hope. But I thought this was going to be a great weekend for the 8, and it's looking really grim at the moment

 

anyone see all the dust come out of the front wheel of the DP car when the tires were getting changed?

 

^ The track is dirty already, and it's going to get dirtier.

 

amazing! thats really bad luck!

 

dang, not looking good. pdxhak give them your car

 

#70 back on track!

 

70 is back on, GO GO GO!

 

Woohoo! #70 is back out!!!!

 

Only 41 laps down. LOL

 

wooo hooo! Goo RX-8s!

 

#69 back on track too.

 

Yeesh. They are both wayyy behind. Coming back from 30-40+ laps behind is a prayer. Just hope they both finish the race at this point, be lucky to get one in top 10-15. Porsche terrin it up.

 

Try 50+

 

Wut?

He's not racing GPs. GT leader is 7 laps off overall pace. 69 is 31 laps off (24 behind GT leader), and the 70 is 48 laps off (41 off leader).

Lots can happen in this race but more than likely they'll just be going for position in the series now.
