VenomOnWheels Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 So that puts #3 at P1, and #4 at P4, right? #4 should be at P6 based on team points, unless some of the other cars aren't running. 1 #3 Corvette Racing 36 36 31 25 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 128 2 #25 BMW Team RLL 33 24 36 33 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 126 3 #24 BMW Team RLL 29 29 27 36 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 121 4 #62 Risi Competizione 23 33 33 29 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 118 5 #911 Porsche North America 27 27 29 31 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 114 6 #4 Corvette Racing 31 23 25 26 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 105 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shifty Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 As much as Olly is a fantastic driver, I have an odd feeling that CR will retire him after this season. Today was not so good for him.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shifty Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 If CR expands to teh WEC, as they should, since Fjord will be entering two full-time cars, I would bet they choose Olly to head it up, maybe Mags too. That's my theory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTV8 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 So....you think Chevy is gonna field four C7.R's.....and probably 2 more spares as well after this year....for six C7.R's? They will probably sell these C7.R's to Larbre, or at least one of them, so Larbre can field a pair in WEC GTE AM. Some select vadering, of course.

MOTV8 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Link fest, enjoy! As much as Olly is a fantastic driver, I have an odd feeling that CR will retire him after this season. Today was not so good for him.... Someone at Racer thinks he's "great" still: http://www.racer.com/more/racer-magazine-excerpts/item/118734-the-specialists Thanks for teh great pics for a bad race.... It was teh suck, but BBV is bright siding things: http://badboyvettes.com/811 And Rahal is running his piehole again, wants IMSA to bend over right f'n now so he can get busy asking for waivers...http://www.racer.com/imsa/item/118948-imsa-rahal-eager-to-learn-direction-of-gtlm-program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shifty Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Don't get me wrong, Olly is probably my favorite CR driver, but he's starting to string together some race-losing hits. Sure, mechanical failure can explain a good percentage of them, but not perception, ie: It's not happening to Tommy nearly as often. I sincerely hope I'm wrong, CR is going to need an awful hot shoe next season.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTV8 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Let's make it interesting, I'll say they cut Mags before they cut Gavin. Sad to contemplate really. I'd like to see some laptime analysis too.

MOTV8 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I'm available and familiar with yellow cars. Buffing and polishing doesn't count. Early vadering... Thursday Paddock notes: ***Only a single Mazda SKYACTIV prototype will take part in this weekend’s Mobil 1 Sportscar Grand Prix, with the decision having been made to again keep its gasoline-powered car parked. Tom Long and Joel Miller will pilot the diesel-powered No. 07 car. ***With the withdrawal of the second Mazda, it has resulted in a 23-car grid for this weekend’s race, spread between the Prototype, Prototype Challenge and GT Le Mans categories. ***Sean Rayhall and John Falb have been confirmed in the No. 16 BAR1 Motorsports Oreca FLM09. It will mark Rayhall’s first TUDOR Championship start of the season and Falb’s second after his series debut at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. ***A half-dozen teams took part in a single-day test here on Tuesday, including Wayne Taylor Racing, VisitFlorida.com Racing, SpeedSource, CORE autosport, Porsche North America and Risi Competizione. ***Chip Ganassi Racing’s Riley-Ford DP has been given an aero break by IMSA, with the car now able to run a 1/4th-inch wicker on the front wheel arch, as well as having more flexibility in its rear wing position. No aero configuration changes have been made to other Prototype class cars. ***Conor Daly returns to Performance Tech for the second consecutive race, and for third time this season, pairing with Detroit pole-sitter James French. Daly will serve a dual role this weekend, as the 23-year-old fills in for the team’s driver coach Jonatan Jorge in Cooper Tires Prototype Lites. ***Matt McMurry will be pulling double duty for the second straight weekend as he takes part in both TUDOR Championship and Prototype Lites races. While having driven for BAR1 Motorsports at Watkins Glen, the 17-year-old makes his Prototype Challenge debut with JDC/Miller Motorsports, the same team he drives for in Lites. ***Compass360 Racing has its Audi R8 LMS on display this weekend (pictured above). The car, fresh off a successful test at Road America last week, will debut in the next TUDOR Championship race at Lime Rock Park with Pierre Kleinubing and Ray Mason. ***Corvette Racing has continued to use Larbre Competition’s Corvette C7.R chassis this weekend, as Jan Magnussen and Antonio Garcia seek back-to-back wins at CTMP. The pairing are expected to return to their normal chassis for the next GTLM round at Road America, with the Larbre car being shipped back to France later this month. ***ECS Tuning has acquired Turner Motorsport’s automotive performance parts and accessories business. It’s understood the team’s programs, in both the TUDOR Championship and World Challenge, are unaffected by the acquisition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
