Starting this thread off with a bang... Alonso Set to Join Kobayashi in WTR Cadillac DPi for Rolex 24 https://sportscar365.com/imsa/iwsc/alonso-set-to-join-kobayashi-in-wtr-cadillac-dpi-for-rolex-24/
I'm sorry, I Googled 'raw pace for days' and didn't come up with anything that appeared to relate to racing. Would you mind translating? Thanks.
Being able to jump in a car and get the most pace out of a car. Alonso is notorious for this in Ferrari days where the car was not great, but his ability to getting the most out of his car was his greatest asset. Koboyashi has proven that as well in his F1 days, he was not the best on Saturday, but Sunday his ability to extract the most out his car was great as well. Guys who are able to get that extra bit out of a car, that's all it is.
Yeah, no disrespect to Buemi or Nakajima but WTR got not only Fernando but the guy who I think has been best for Toyota for a couple of years now. They made it official today: http://waynetaylorracing.com/news/?cid=68822
Is it just me or is there more use of app and tape-delay coverage than there was last year with Fox? The tape-delayed Glen coverage isn't even the full six hours.
There’s twice as much streaming-exclusive live coverage as this past year (25 vs. 12.5) but there’s also 42.5 live race hours on NBCSN/CNBC compared to 23.5 hours on FS1, and 9 hours on NBC compared to 5 on FOX. FOX used FS2 more than anything else (33 hours in 2018), so I think it’s an upgrade. FS2 is hardly available so that alone going away is a good thing. I’ll probably just use my Fire Stick for the stream portions.
Fantastic news as CORE reverse course and join DPi next year, keeping Nissan on the grid as well.

At least one confirmed McLaren Sprint Cup entry makes it nine different manufacturers in GTD now. https://sportscar365.com/imsa/iwsc/compass-confirms-mclaren-720s-gt3-for-sprint-cup/
It'd be more likely if Charlotte weren't sandwiched in between Laguna Seca and Petit Le Mans. As it is now, I don't think teams will want a race less than two weeks before unloading at Road Atlanta. The schedule as a whole is pretty full too; 12 is about the max they want to go.
they can make the chicanes any way they want I believe.They are temporary anyway. Hope they pull the race off. IMSA would be good there.
I'm pretty sure they'd fly right through that thing in its current layout lol. Not much of a brake or lift unless they put those big curbs that send you into orbit right on the edge of the chicane.
C8.R testing at Sebring today. Could debut at some point in 2019, certainly to race full-time in 2020. Have to say I'm going to miss the hell out of the C7.R's thunderous rumble.
The sound is definitely a disappointment but still, I just watched that video on a lunch break thru my trucks audio and it sounds amazing and people are looking at me weird.
