Sebring 08

[Canada ALMS fan]

Hallen,
LG found metal shavings in the engine. The Pug was visibly faster than the Audi. It was funny, I was in the paddock when Audi was changing the turbo and there was a Pug engineer near watching with a scanner listening to the Audi mechanics, taking notes, and filming the engine. Risi was dominating GT2 until Jaime hit the Farnbacher car, I was in 8 & 9 when those cars came around and they were severly damaged, I didn't see the impact but it must have been one hell of an impact! Someone else was mentioning the 4 Ford GT-R's. At THIS point (may change) one is the Robertson's, the second will be Tim Pappas', the third will be Oliver Kuttner's, the fourth will be Kevin Doran's. Second Robertson car not likely yet if at all, according to David Robertson. All 4 WILL see the track this year! Corsa will shake down their '08 430 at SLC and will field both cars later in the year! LG said a second GT2 Vette is very close for another customer. Alex Job said he hopes to be back soon and is working on something. I spoke to McNish early Friday AM about AMR and he said that even though it is Charouz running a Lola chassis, don't be fooled! ProDrive is doing the full development of the chassis and program and a full Le Mans project is in the works behind the scenes. He also said they (Audi) know the Pug is faster and they surpisingly no longer think they have a reliability advantage againt the 908.

Breathe son, breathe...

A little white space goes a long way.

Thanks for the comments.

Thanks for the update also. It was the first full race I got to watch and it was definately worth it.

If Forsythe comes to the ALMS as rumored and as it seems, does anyone think Tracy would make the move as well? He is still under contract. And would definately be interesting to see how is aggresive driving style does. Then again, could be a freight train like Melo decided to be at Sebring, Enge last year? or the year before?
