Rolex 24 Thread

Good to see the Chase DP already up to speed...
+11 seconds off the pace and behind a few GT3s.....

[mayk]

GARRA's Live T&S now active for the 1:30pm session.....
Top 12 are all Riley....1:43s

[mayk]

Neat idea for video streaming of press conferences and camera at the track....wonder if the ALMS will do this.....

Stuck here in the Philly airport for 5 more hours....so what else is there to do?

[Nick Koske]

For a series developed for it's parity...it's surprising they haven't made performance adjustments to the chssis. No Riley = Also ran

[mayk]

Good point Nick....and although I do admire GARRA for sticking to 'most' of their promises about the DPs...Why not just make adjustments to Chase and Doran to make them more competitive.....then again, I am not sure what they really could do....

I am really interested in hearing how the new Pirelli tire holds up...I doubt we will see the mess of rain tire shortages, but how much faster will the DPs be vs the Hoosiers.....

Loose weight...increase restrictors...that's where I'd start

[mayk]

But are the chassis designed for those changes? Where and how will they loose weight? Restrictors? That would be the start I would choose....

Put 10,000lbs on the green house to flatten it would be a start as well...lol

[HORNDAWG]

I'm sure the cars are ballasted so losing the weight would be easy and probably the easiest to govern since it is just a matter of throwing them on the scales.

Well at DSC it shows the #56 Mastercar F430 as the #2 qualifier in GT but it doesn't show up on the Garra site. The #2 GT qualifier is not listed, has the car been "dq"ed or something?

[mayk]

Well....Riley is dominate (no surprise)....Chase is a disaster (no surprise).....

Was the entire infield resurfaced? Wonder how much the new rubber impacted the record DP pole?

Curious minds want to know....well, at least this curious mind (now in the Indy airport) wants to know..

[mayk]

I never found Daytona to be a thing of beauty to shoot in the day...sunset, night, and sunrise are good.....so this one I think is the best of the bunch of the ones I have seen on the web...
1/60 JT?
