    fancy wheels didn't seem to help much in terms of keeping that car on the road today. Looked like total brake failure when it went off

    I didn't get to watch any of the race today but IMSA say they'll have it up on YouTube in a couple days. I'll post it as soon as I find it.

    I watched the first 1.5 hrs on tv. Then later in the afternoon watched some streaming on their ap. When I went on the ap to watch the end it wouldn't play because it was being "broadcasted" on fs2. IMSA needs to realize that there are a lot of fans that don't get fs2.

    Although I could track timing and watch the in car camera feed from the Ford or BMW.

    I starting watching the Conti race this morning and I realized that there are 2 Fords, 1 Austin, and the rest were Porsches. Where did the other Mustangs go? What happened to the Camaros?

    I know from talking to the teams in the past what car they run is more about manufacturer support and money than what they want or what will run well. So for both issues it sad not to see more makes in the sport.

    The ST call has more makes and more cars.

    An Austin? A Healey or an Austin Maxi? Haven't watched the race yet, but some teams switched series & also jumped to other brands.

    On the starting grid run through there were 4 MINIs in the race. The 2 red JCWs were up around 8th or 9th the other 2 were farther back. I never did see them during the race.

    Looks like the MINI bunch haven't quite solved that deployable extra rear wing problem.

    That air brake is going to kill their straight away speed.
