@dsceditor @FIAWEC It’s sad, but also there is an element of the ACO paying for their hubris with this. Seems like there is a chance now they might not fill the grid?

Sad news to report after such an excellent @fiawec season

@Aidan_Millward @GPLapsJake I’m not, after seeing the onboard from the 04. The 47 with the move right to left then back left to right in a braking zone is bad enough against a competitor in the same class, against a much faster car it’s a recipe for disaster.

@GPLapsJake Even tho the Ferrari was all over the shop, surprised it was NFA.

Lmp2 thought it was the GoBowling.com race

@VincentJBruins @radiolemans @JimmyBroadbent @bilstein_de @TeamBlackFalcon What happened to the penalty the 145 had after the red flag last night for speeding under code 60?

It's a podium for Jimmy Broadbent in his very first ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring! He finishes in second place together with Misha Charoudin and Manuel Metzger in the SP 8T class behind the wheel of the No. 150 Black Falcon-run Bilstein BMW M4 GT4. 📸 Gruppe C | #IGTC #24hNBR

@specutainment do the cars that got penalties (44, 145, 831, 711) after the red flag last night not have to serve them?

@AshVandelay The playoffs are already a farce, not granting it would be the icing on the cake, especially if he were to go on and win the regular season in spite of missing the 600. People have gotten waivers for suspensions, the start every race rule is a joke.

@gancewski_piotr @JimmyBroadbent @specutainment Different classes. The Supra is in SP10 for homologated GT4’s. Jimmy’s is on the entry list in SP8T which means they can run better tires and way more power

@JimmyBroadbent @specutainment And in the same class aswell, That's incredible

@atflorio I did. And still think this is an awful idea. Chasing continued insane growth isn’t a realistic option but that’s what you suggested. Multiclass is part of what makes sportscars great, taking that away would be bad for everyone.

The amount of people that didn't read the article & aren't reading the landscape 🤷 Where are customer LMH and LMDh cars supposed to race if they ever get produced? How many GT manufacturers have been locked out right now? And LMP2? And privateers?

@tonydizinno @jackhawkrace @BenBarnicoat @KKirkwoodRacing @vassersullivan @lexusracingusa Well when they crash their way to the front and are allowed to do so, it kind of sours how good it looks.

"A lot of talk about Corvette and Ford over the winter, but the champs are back!" says @jackhawkrace after a huge effort, fightback and great drive alongside @BenBarnicoat @KKirkwoodRacing to deliver @vassersullivan @lexusracingusa a big GTD PRO win in #Sebring12 #IMSA

@Jazzed_on_Java @RightTurnLover @specutainment @limitedrunning Frankly I think that sounds more exciting than all pro-am does. I get why we have to have it, but I won’t stop missing the excitement pro GT racing gave us in the WEC.

@RightTurnLover @specutainment @limitedrunning I think a GT3 Champions league should have ProAms, maybe a split between Pro and ProAms, though I'd suggest an all ProAm series would be good for the GT3 concept.

@specutainment @limitedrunning I really like that GT3 idea. If you've 20 GT3 grid slots at Le Mans, you can give 4 slots to IMSA, 4 to ALMS, 4 ELMS with 8 left for NLS & SRO. I think that would be a great mix at the Greatest Race.

@davidperel Considering how much damage the dev (MSG) did on its way here, im okay with it failing.

I want this game to succeed. Sim Racing desperately needs more options, it’s healthy for the industry and the players.

@specutainment make it only one qualifying session. Reverse for the sprint, actual qualifying positions for the actual GP. Get back a practice session or change parc ferme to after the sprint to help the GP.

@agbullet25 @JimmyBroadbent There absolutely was not room on the curb for the car. It would have been in the grass and then potentially bouncing, it could have been a lot worse for both. He’s lucky it was just 5 seconds.

@RWILLPOWER @JimmyBroadbent If the outside car doesn’t turn in and hit Jards, he wouldn’t have been bounced out into the grass and could still have maintained a line on the curb or just barely have part of the left side tires just touching the grass. There was a car width gap there including the curb.

Racing incident every day of the week. Idk what the stewards wanted Jards to do here. Its his corner, you don't just randomly back out when someone is alongside. If anything, the outside car turns into to Jards. Very weird decision, definitely not the right one.

@JimmyBroadbent I agree the contact happens early, and hence I don’t think the penalty is for that. At the widest point he’s maybe a foot from the white line, and while technically that leaves the other car “space” he’s in the dirt at that point and bouncing so that doesn’t feel like space to me

@RWILLPOWER We'll agree to disagree on the space. It was tight, but fine imo. The contact happens because the outside car tries to turn into a space inhabited by Jards. Jards is ahead at the apex on a consistent line and contact happens before corner exit. I ain't a steward tho.

@specutainment Corvette is really setting themselves up to be a powerhouse in GT racing. It’s going to be good next year but 2025 excites me even more if they can get into even more series and maybe some IGTC rounds+Nurburgring

Official. Daniel Juncadella, Earl Bamber, Charlie Eastwood Nico Varrone join existing Corvette factory drivers Antonio Garcia, Tommy Milner, Nicky Catsburg and Alexander Sims,to race either the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, FIA World Endurance Championship or both.

@atflorio DPi* and those P2 cars were flying in the mid season in a way that was beyond just good driving. Especially WGI and CTMP.

@RWILLPOWER That wasn't a fluke for BoP. P2 cars were able to compete with the DP class. CORE played to the rules like every other Pro-Am lineup that has been seen in IMSA racing over the years. They used pit strategy & favorable yellows to their advantage.

Very happy to see that Colin has a seat but we need more customer LMDh machinery. I think Kurtz could hold his own in GTP with Braun at his side. CORE Autosport nearly won the prototype championship with bronze ranked Bennett and Braun.

@specutainment @radiolemans @kpcom @FIAWEC I don’t think the elms block makes sense either. That I fully disagree with.

@RWILLPOWER @radiolemans @kpcom @FIAWEC My point is why do ACO allow them in that championship but not ELMS... don;t they have enough confidence that they would get a decent grid without Audi/AMG? IMSA is differenta s it's not an ACO Championship

@specutainment @radiolemans feels like @FIAWEC have are about to shoot themselves in the foot with LMGT3 inclusion/exclusion mandate.

@specutainment @radiolemans @kpcom @FIAWEC Exactly why still seeing them be allowed there makes sense. Same with imsa.

@RWILLPOWER @radiolemans @kpcom @FIAWEC Audi still ahve a big presence in Asia motorsport.. as do AMG

@specutainment @radiolemans @kpcom @FIAWEC I get wanting two car teams instead of 1 for more data because that also doesn’t fill the GT grid and turns away cars that want to race while not filling your grid and that’s a bad combo. Or some get more and others don’t and you make people more mad.

@RWILLPOWER @radiolemans @kpcom @FIAWEC give every manufacturer one entry??? LOL
