Destructo Report post Posted March 4, 2010 This year is shaping up to be an incredible year in the American Le Mans Series. I've been watching for a few years and having worked for a couple teams, it's an incredible experience with some heavy competition. This video was just released yesterday from C0rvette Racing. A well done video. Keep in mind this is how last years race ended. Some of the best racing I've seen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destructo Report post Posted March 4, 2010 This years GT2 field is the largest that Sebring has ever seen. They'll have Porsche, Ferrari, Jaguar, BMW, Chevr0let and a couple others I can't think of at the moment. It's completely different from F1, you are right Fellippe, but I love both. March 20 2010 to Sebring! Countdown is on!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destructo Report post Posted March 5, 2010 Wow! What were the repercussions, if any, after that race? I do not believe there were any consequences for the wreck as they were both a little dodgy with other at the end. Jorg apologized for what happened. Corvette Racing was, despite the obvious disappointment with the loss, happy about the wreck as it was a test of their new GT2 chassis. Jan walked away from that wreck with minor injuries. Apparently the impact combined with the speed, was upwards up 65g's and the chassis held. A testament to the build quality of the car.

"ohhh side by side again... ohh that was a replay" That guy will give himself a heart attack. I love the Audi I have some nice shots of it I took at the Frankfurt show where they had it on display!

That Audi is a great looking car, I agree. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destructo Report post Posted March 20, 2010 The Jaguar RSR is going behind the wall with what looks like a blown head gasket. It's a "new" car this year, second generation of the Jag. Dyson racing is also behind the wall with what they claim is a simple six they say. A spark plug, but we'll see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyson is replacing the oil pump, and still are having oil pressue issues. Not looking good for Dyson. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
