yeah i saw they switched. Can't wait to see what he does in the car.

Travis Pastrana is making his debut in the 56 ferrari atm. Almost got hit coming out of pit lane, right about the same time as the wreck. Interesting race to pretty much make your road race debut.

Getting consistent in your braking for going into the infield and the chicane would be the hardest part of the track.

Yeah. 41 lost pretty much all of the front end.


my time to actually watch the race is coming to an end the wife needs some attention since i've been out with the guys all day. I'll probably keep up with the thread here and there though.

Any idea if the 4th is on pit rotation or legit? Live scoring has the 88 right behind and the 59 just had an off so I'm thinking it's not due to pitting?

That would be hard to tell.

I wonder how the Mustang bent it's wheel so bad.

Curbing? It would be my guess. Impact with another car would be breaking other stuff instead.

If anyone isn't watching Speed, the Mustang's wheel was damaged by a collision with the 69--Segal driving.

#69 seems ok

Oh, heh. I guess I've got ~10 minutes of anti-commercial play behind I've got built up. Forgot I wasn't live.

Guys .. I'm going to ask a stupid question that I'm pretty sure I know the answer too but I want confirmation.

These RX8's are running with the 20B motor, yes?

Why I was wondering this ...
The rest of the GT cars .. are they are running engines that can be purchased from the show room?
If yes
How does mazda get away with running an engine not offered to the public?

And I wish they did. <sigh>

---edit---
And why are they not running any boost?

I've downloading the rulebook. I don't think it's as straight forward as "can be bought by the public."
