    Was that one the Honda powered entry?

    They lost the transmission, right?

    Same with the Delta wing, wasn't it - transmission failure?

    Yes MSR uses a Honda lump. Not sure what the Delta Dart uses, but they went out very early.

    The DeltaWing is powered by an Elan, a 2 liter, direct injected engine based on a couple Mazda engines, re-engineered by Elan Technologies, based in Goergia.

    Yup.

    I don't remember any mention of transmission issues but I didn't see the whole 24 hours.

    Yup, DW lost the transmission.

    I like the in-car engine sound comparison and when they said any of them sound better than the current F1 engines.

    Delta wing lost the translation, but I've not heard what caused MSR to stop heart-breakingly close to the end.

    An attempt by Ars Technica to explain benefits of racing.

    From efficiency to airflow, it’s a golden age for racing tech in our driveways (arstechnica.com)
    That's page 1 (of 2), see the full article here.

    All these top series using clone chassis and getting tons of attention. While the ones that use real cars sit in obscurity. Maybe the manufacturers that are investing in those should push a little harder to get their series seen.

    Ouch! I assumed they pulled him before his time expired, didn't know they missed the mark and faced a potential penalty.

    There's a lot to keep track of at a race like the Rolex. I was surprised during the race that they had lost sight of his time behind the wheel. I would be surprised if someone didn't/doesn't lose there job over this. I agree it sucks but rules are rules.

    Yes rules & some rules really do suck. Why not a 2minute 10 second penalty? Last in class was pretty damned harsh, at least to me. The punishment did not fit the crime.

    Didn't know that CBS had a sports channel and my cable provider doesn't

    have it. I was really looking forward to it this year, just wish that NBC

    Sports still had it.

    SO Fox in the US gets rid of the racing channel and Fox Canada adds one. Just another reason to consider moving north.
