Pretty sure none of the ALMS cars will count only the ILMC entries.

Because sometimes life isn't perfect

911targa · 19 Mar 2011, 23:03 (Ref:2849645)

Sellers is fast,he is described as "Falken Factoty Driver",he used to be a Panoz Factory Driver and made start at LM24,anyway he's back to the car now!

Dario911 · 19 Mar 2011, 23:03 (Ref:2849646)

Porsche will have a hard season. The car is getting old, and they need a new generation of RSR to contest actual opponents. Ok, Sebring is not for Porsche characteristics, but since 997 RSR debut, we've been able to win just only in 2008...

Dario911 · 19 Mar 2011, 23:06 (Ref:2849647)

I know, Seller is a good driver. But Lietz knows better the car. Anyway, Seller is doing his best, and is racing very well. I would have seen another top team car, with a line-up such as Maassen/Lietz/Collard.
Not a bad idea, I think. But it's just a dream... I know!

Simmi · 19 Mar 2011, 23:07 (Ref:2849648)

OAK out of 4th place what a shame!

Jamesy-18 · 19 Mar 2011, 23:08 (Ref:2849649)

I guess the cars winning wouldn't dream of becoming a Porsche then.

Maassen has been everything but quick over the last few seasons, was even out paced by Khaled Al Qubaisi at Dubai.

Dyson fourth after nearly 9 hours, who would've believed that?

NightStalk3r · 19 Mar 2011, 23:11 (Ref:2849653)

No full couse caution for the oak?? are the officials feeling ok?

Proton have a troop of gentlemen:Felbermayr Sr,Felbermayr Jr,Konopka,Ried and Roda,enough to form 2 GT Am entries,they can call Cruz Martin,Sellers or Ragginger as the only Pro driver in Am class

Dario911 · 19 Mar 2011, 23:12 (Ref:2849655)

One of the most stupid choiches of the Porsche management in the last years, has been to discharge Collard. He was one of the greatest GT drivers, and with 911 was a killer. Just like Bergmeister... He had a huge experience, and would have been very important in this situation.
I think Collard has never appreciated the choice of the Porsche in the last FIA GT...

NightStalk3r · 19 Mar 2011, 23:14 (Ref:2849659)

Collard was no that impressive at all for the most part in the 2009 FIA GT Championship, He was lucky to have Westbrook to keep the car at the front.

Porsche have lost Collard,Westbrook,Bleekmolen,O'Young and Werner in the past few years.sounds like Sugden no longer race RSR too

O'Young, Bleekemolen and Werner were never Porsche drivers so how have they lost them?

Collard has been consistent in 2009, and I've never thought all the honours would have been for Westbrook. Collard didn't deserved this Porsche decision.

Consistent obviously wasn't good enough, Nieman is consistent too!

Falken is about 80 seconds behind class leader,6th in class.if they can keep another 3 more hours problem free they will get Manufacture points for Porsche in ALMS for the first time.

Pilet is racing a GT3 R in JGTC,otherwise he may race a Pro 911 with Lietz

Simmi · 19 Mar 2011, 23:22 (Ref:2849674)

Peugeot beginning to fall apart?

911targa · 19 Mar 2011, 23:23 (Ref:2849675)

and Falken in troubles...doing and 2:42 and fall behind another CR as well as the remaining ESM 458.

What happened? They were up in 4th and on the lead lap, now 2 laps down...

Dario911 · 19 Mar 2011, 23:25 (Ref:2849677)

End of games for Porsches, today!
I only hope to see BMW on the highest step of the podium!
I'm disappointed for Corvette, too! I thought they were able to compete for the win, but they are not so far from Porsche... and today, this is not something to be happy for...
I think they will have better performances in the next short distance races. I do not understand what is not working well in the Yellow Cabs!

Simmi · 19 Mar 2011, 23:27 (Ref:2849679)

Falken goes behind the wall.
