Same age as mister Pertti Kuismanen then! And he was absolutely rocking that Corvette in WC GT1 last year...in last position...seconds off the pace.

AC/DC lead singer Brian Johnson is testing a Riley-BMW at Daytona, along with Jim Pace and Elliott Forbes-Robinson. Wait, how old is EFR? He must be like 70... :?

They look great from the front but still far too boxy from the sides/rear....

I don't think ALMS has anything to worry about, sexyness wise...

Grand Am unveiled the Corvette-bodied Daytona Prototype, the first of its new “DP3’s”. Its initial pace at Daytona wasn’t very impressive, lagging behind the DP2’s. Was it just new car teething? Sandbagging? At the time the Bear [blogger] dismissed its importance, but then heard differently. The Corvette is seriously slow, unable to crack 190 anywhere on the DIS layout. There might be some other “good news,” though, in that a rumored an insurer is weighing in with a desire for slower top ends. That will give the series “cover” to slow everyone else down without it looking like a blatant move to put the Corvette in the game. Murphy guesses that no “balancing” will be quite enough, however, so he’s putting his money on Ganassi Racing to dominate in 2012, just as it did in 2011, 2010…

:lol:

That's a bit misleading. He's talking about the Coyote chassis Vette. The one we've just posted is the Riley chassis Vette. It's no surprise the Coyote is slow.

Really?? Grand Am's prototypes are already too damn slow as is. They didn't even look fast in person at Watkins Glen when I was there this year.

If they get some more chassis styles, shades of IMSA GT when the turbos get back?
