Yeah, pretty ugly.


What's up Hockey I see you lurkin'. Haven't see you on in a long time.

 

F&F 4 is on right now. It will be repeated after the race broadcast ends for the night.

 

Marino Franchitti is driving for Speedsource atm. They're in 8th place in GT.

 

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.

 

Haha...whats crackin' fuz? Just lurking this thread so i can stay up to date on whats happening with the race since im no where near a tv.

Is the #41 out for the race?

 

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.

 

Sylvain Tremblay is in the Speedsource car now. They are in 7th place.

 

Really getting tired of the same commercials over and over.

 

up to 4th now

 

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.

 

PHew .. I'm back .. had a birthday dinner I had to attend.
What did I miss?

Caution is out?

 

Holy crap the camaro is doing well

 

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

 

What feed is everyone watching?
Camera #3

 

I guess they just showed us on TV. The collision with the #69 Ferrari

TV feed. When it goes off, I'll switch to streaming feed #3.

 

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.

 

Speedsource is back to 8th.

 

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?

 

yes, NA 20B engine.

 

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."

 

Those damn Porsche's keep passing the 40 car on the straight
