i suspect the first session for Higcroft is all about confirming the setup work they did on the simulator and the afternoon session will be about ling runs. Probably doing race stint sims

Green Flag!!

Does anyone have any updates about...anything?! T&S is still dead, and the only news is that the top 5 cars are all within about a second of each other.

Steve Mclaren Mercedes · 14 Mar 2011, 15:39 (Ref:2845587)

where can I find the testing times?

Audi Racer · 14 Mar 2011, 15:40 (Ref:2845588)

Afraid you'll have to wait on that, because ALMS T&S is dead pretty much.

And Audi and Oreca seem to really be making much use of the track time so far--#1 Audi has run over 80 laps, and the #2 Audi and Oreca have run over 70.

This link for T&S has worked for me all morning.

They also have a mobile version now that has a smaller amount of info, but has worked the few times I've checked it.

Not to forget in ORECA's case the three drivers need to discover the track

Audi Racer · 14 Mar 2011, 15:43 (Ref:2845596)

As far as im concerned the HPD should go the distance. HPd knew what they were doing when they built the P2 and strakka drove the wheels off theat thing for 24HOURS!.

Audi Racer · 14 Mar 2011, 15:45 (Ref:2845599)

does anyone know if Risi is actually running the F430. For the sake of reliability and only for the 12 hours

Audi Racer · 14 Mar 2011, 15:45 (Ref:2845601)

Sheesh they throw red flags for anything and everything

They are running the #61 458 and #62 430. It is currently expected that they will only be running the 458 for the full season.

Strange latest time for Pug #8

chernaudi · 14 Mar 2011, 16:01 (Ref:2845611)

Session is about over, so I wouldn't worry about that (it seems that it was in the pits for a long time late).

Top 6--within 1.16 seconds, are #8 Pug, #1 Audi, #01 HPD, #10 Oreca, #2 Audi, and the Cytosport Aston.

What's really strange is the status of the #7 908. It was shown as only running 4 laps, but what was really strange is that it was never shown in the pits or off the track, and ALMS notes doesn't seem to give a reason for that odd showing. The only mention that they've given is that it was ranked as 14th overall.

There's no explanation for that oddity.

Tom908V12 · 14 Mar 2011, 16:06 (Ref:2845615)

So we could expect only problem of LT for the #7

Clearly the car was in the pits with some issue.

chernaudi · 14 Mar 2011, 16:17 (Ref:2845620)

Maybe more proof we can't trust timing and scoring? ALMSnotes new reports that the top 6 overall were within about .65 of a second.

If true, it can't get much closer than that.

its pit box is before the timing and scoring transponder i believe. Then after the session ended they rolled it past the transponder to get to an access point to the paddock

they meant to say top 6 in GT. Overall there was 1.2 seconds over top 6.

Anyone else get the feeling LMPC and LMP2 should be merged into one class? Also does anyone else have the feeling the Abruzzi Jaguar, and Lamborghini are better suited in GTC?

No on all points.

We've run one session so far, far too early to make conclusions about LMPC and LMP2 times.

The Abruzzi and Lambo have only one session, completely new cars. Let's see where they are mid-season.

The Jaguar hasn't run at all yet. Upon what are you concluding this?

gustavobamba · 14 Mar 2011, 16:44 (Ref:2845632)

I know that is to early but HPD Arx-01e show a very nice pace
