It seems like these decisions are not avoidable when you go a more corporate route and start taking in sponsors' money. Its going to be great for new fans, but I will miss Nick Ham on the interviews, he is probably the humblest man in the paddock from the way he gives interviews.

Pretty smooth sailing for a while now:
#70 leading, 4 laps over #67 GT3 in P2
#43 in 4th, 8 laps behind P3, 1 minute ahead of P5, 23 laps down to GT lead
#40 in 7th, 1 lap behind P6, 3 laps ahead of P8, 24 laps down to GT lead
#41 in 14th, 85 laps down to GT lead
69, 30, 42 still out.

I'm seeing 2 different variants, between web and TV. Paint and GT wing are the only things identifiable that I can see. It's an R3, with the R3 bodywork. TV variant is red and blue, net is this one:
Which is Dempsey's actual race car (from the vents and such), so I doubt that it is the actual finished product.

I don't like not having ham a primary driver. we got a newbie that hasn't raced on all the tracks let alone raced on then dozens of times like ham has he better not mess up the shot at the championship

Yup 
I was praying for it not to crash "pacing" at the speed it was in the pouring rain at the start with presumably stock rubber on. Looking good though.
I have been searching, but the only pics I am seeing are of the actual #40. Foose might have designed it but it isn't built, or hasn't designed it yet waiting for some season inspiration or something to change it by, etc...
