Yeah, for Ford, their "Halo Car" is the GT, for GM it's the Corvette. If Chrysler were to join in as a factory team (lol fat chance), they would homologate the Viper for GTLM (though apparently they would need to completely redesign the road car to restart production because it lacks side-curtain airbags which are now required) and GT4ify the Challenger (as it sits in the same market segment as the Mustang and Camaro).

Aren't most 1000km races around 10hr anyway? I know Petit Le Mans was a 1000km race (or 10 hours, whichever happened first), but switched to 10 hours recently.

it was 1000mi or 10 hours (whichever was shorter), but they changed it to straight up 10 hours with the IMSA/ALMS merger

If F1 qualifying isn't on NBCSN then it is CNBC or MSNBC. Same goes for actual races during le Tour de France.

incorrect, friend, and I will try to prove that to you later today.

in completely coincidental news, if you're on the west coast of the US you'll probably be able to catch all of the Super GT Fuji 500km tonight. Why a race mid-week? Because it's holiday time in Japan, and they run the two days of the race weekend during the annual spring holidays in what is commonly called 'Golden Week'.

Time? I have the day off from work tomorrow so lol sleep (US East Coast)

I love this race. The sheer number of cars on the circuit is fantastic.

Was it last year or the year before when there was an absurd hailstorm that red flagged everything for hours and stranded cars in various places?

Last year.

"Being ridiculously prepared for an endurance race" is Audi's schtick.

I have been awake for 22 hours now. At this point I am wondering if I should attempt a nap between the 24/Monaco (whichever ends later) and the 500.

To be fair, I have not had any caffeine (other than 4 cups of tea) since 5pm EDT on Friday.

I just fired up my grinder to make a couple cup of coffee in my French press

Who all here has Project Cars? Would there be interest in a friendly time trial around the 24h circuit before the race?

If so, what class would you want to do: GTE (as shoehorned in the GT3 class in Pcars), LMP2, LMP1, all 3?

I'm partial to P2's in that game, mostly because I suck at wrangling the P1's just yet.

LMP2 sounds good
