Fine

At least that's something different!

Btw, what do you think about the looks of this? It's going to be racing in VdeV

Ugly, but because it is VdeV and because it is probably built in someone's garage, it has a right to look ugly. Can't be compared to the DW

The Deltawing Coupe looks like a garden shed, maybe that's the link. :tumble:

Is it just me or does the wind screen look like its being held in with Duck Tape..

#93 ran into the back of the #52 and beached

It pains me to say, but I'm having a hard time actually paying attention to this race. ALMS certainly isn't what it once was.

Seriously sucks for SRT

Yeah they should totally end it really....

Its still the light side of the sports car force though

It's bad enough that they show the same 3-4 ads in each ad break, but quite often they show them twice in the same break!

It's good, repetition helps to build the built in adblock in my head

same ads on every break is pretty typical (and weird for most Europeans I think) for any US network but they've also been the same ads all year.

I haven't really enjoyed ALMS for years. In P1 we general don't have a battle. We did today but that's over. P2 is a joke, as Scott Tucker screws his own drivers to manufacture the title for himself. PC is a spec series. So I just don't care. GT is awesome. GTC is a spec series. GT3 cars...but only Porsches? What's the point.

This is a good race overall really, but the series itself isn't as enjoyable as it once was.

Yes, I'm glad it's over after this race. ALMS until 2008 was great, since then it has fizzled.

#4 vette not giving enough space.

GTC is for single-make GT series cars, so the Porsches are just Carrera Cup cars adapted for endurance racing. They're definitely not GT3 cars.

It's as near as makes no difference a GT3 speed class. Technical the DW isn't legal and the amount of cars that strictly aren't legal in GT and needs waivers are quite high. So it's all a bit daft running GTC Porsches instead of GT3 cars because they aren't the same. It's like they looked for the least interesting option possible.

Would've been better to have GT3s. Look at how amazing GT is because of the different cars. Imagine that..twice.

Last laps... of ALMS. Doesn't feel like it though, P1 was already dead and the best thing (GT) remains in TUSCC, so what exactly changes...

Infact and I turned off the stream earlier and started watching another live sport.

Kevin and Jan Magnussen champions on the very same day.
