Maybe Michelin don't want to supply tyres to a leading team from a series that uses Contis?

I meant more from a data sharing point of view. Probably nonsense anyway...

Why would Michelin refuse to supply a potential paying customer that runs in TUSCC? Possible payback for IMSA's single tire source mentality. That's pure speculation on my part.
I'll be cheering for Corvette Racing and the few American drivers in this year's race ... same as the past few years. |

Always struck me as a bit unprofessional to pull out at the last minute, in part because it leaves other reserve-listed teams scrambling just before the race. Especially if a team is on the budget... Quote:
Nevertheless, I see you're point... wouldn't be surprised if Risi dropped out in the process. They've been on pins and needles for a while now, especially since that disastrous ALMS season last year that saw them destroy several cars through almost no fault of their own. And this year, the massive crash at Daytona that sent Matteo Malucelli to hospital... it hasn't been an easy return to sportscar racing, but they said they will provide assistance to Krohn Racing at Le Mans. That makes me think they'll both be there, but you never know... I must admit I never thought of Muscle Milk dropping out. Some food for cynical thought... perhaps the poor performance of LMP2s at the Rolex 24 spurred Greg Pickett to throw in the towel? From Sportscar365... Quote:
Surely they would have considered their opponents and perhaps a greater disparity of BoP than was initially expected. Also, the date conflict with the TUSC Detroit / Belle Isle round didn't help. In hindsight, it seems a bit foolish to put it a day before the test day when IMSA clearly knows new American teams and drivers need to attend it. Seems a bit counterproductive to me! *Sigh*.... |

MM is a top team, Starworks has already shown how overrated the top teams in FIA WEC LMP2 are and I'm sure MM's 'competitiveness' issues they are referring to is just a press release addition to the real problem regarding the tire situation. |

I'm using directly from DailyMotion, and currently working fine - I do, however, not know if I have audio?
