Early Red flag as usual. thats been the story of testing so fas this week. no session has started without the red flags

Audi Racer · 15 Mar 2011, 20:04 (Ref:2846435)

The jaguar or the panoz has stopped out on track.

pdxracefan · 15 Mar 2011, 20:10 (Ref:2846439)

T&S working for anyone else?

Simmi · 15 Mar 2011, 20:11 (Ref:2846441)

Was actually a loose undertray on the Paul Miller Porsche.

It definitly doesn't work for me. Title is "Race Ahead" and nothing happens.

Years are passing and the problem is always the same...

Is there any alternative to that americanlemans.com T&S? A few years back there was another (run by IMSA site?)

pdxracefan · 15 Mar 2011, 20:15 (Ref:2846446)

Okay then alittle time for a chat. Got here today. Went to the track and caught the morning open test session. Didn't have any mobile devices with me for T&S, but from visually, thought both Pugs looked like no sloutches. Both Audis quick. The field size is really something to see; very, very noisy. Should be great stuff.

Simmi · 15 Mar 2011, 20:18 (Ref:2846447)

Highcroft are reporting that the track seems slower than yesterday.

Audi Racer · 15 Mar 2011, 20:20 (Ref:2846448)

Things are starting get get lively at the top of the GT2 time charts.

the AF corse ferrari put in a 1.01.8 getting close. Jaime Melo looks like he's trying to go for a a lap but perhaps the f458 doesnt have the speed right now.

I hope you're equiped with a good camera, because we're all very hungry for pics (and your impressions too). And since you seems to have an internet connection on site...

Enjoy the week as much as you can!

Damn live timing still broken for me...

Audi Racer · 15 Mar 2011, 20:24 (Ref:2846451)

still no sign of either BMW's

Audi Racer · 15 Mar 2011, 20:24 (Ref:2846453)

Anyone know how the Robertson Racing Fords are doing. how are the Michelins treating them

Glad to hear that.

Guy Cosmo seemingly not too happy with his time in the 458 this morning.

im gonna guess the car is naturally a bit oversteery. and mid engined cars are hard to control once they get sliding.

Audi Racer · 15 Mar 2011, 20:36 (Ref:2846461)

I dont think the 458 is ready for sebring( new car blues)

[QUOTE=JAG;2846371]If the R18 did a 1.44 in testing it's safe to say Peugeot aren't showing the 908's true pace. I wouldn't be suprised if the Highcroft car won pole with a time in the 1.46's.[/QUOTE

Less cars on the track back then!

Simmi · 15 Mar 2011, 21:32 (Ref:2846488)

Looking forward to qualifying. Obviously there won't be as many cars on track but it will still be plenty crowded and difficult to find space.

And it will also be an opportunity to see if the streaming works.

This is assuming no IMSA adjustments, straight from the ACO rulebook

I know it's an older post, but I hadn't seen it answered.

It shouldn't be very crowded at all.... except for maybe GT qualifying.

good level 5 race week early report.

Risi's alternative front end.
I've seen them run something similar (albeit painted) ever since they brought the car to Sebring in February. All other teams (including AF Corse at HTTT) appear to be using flatter nose.

That is interesting. I wonder if Risi developed the part or Ferrari has it available. I like the idea of being able to buy a customer car (Ferrari, Porsche, Vette, whatever) and being able to tweek it a little bit in your own shop.

thats most likely not the case. things like this go through extensive CFD or windtunnel.

I believe that this is simply a high downforce nose. The nose that the other teams are running is probably medium or maybe even lemans spec?
