I saw it mentioned that the Motors TV coverage will feature RLM commentary :thumbsup:


Wow that would be awesome. Just hoping Dutch Motors won't ruin it with Dutch commentary.

Use hola unblocker (add on for firefox or chrome) and chose an European country where they broadcast the stream, that should easily solve the geoblock.

Millenium have pulled out of Sebring which makes 4 withdrawls from the race/season in the last couple of weeks or so. (That said, the Gainsco one is perfectly understandable.)

Scuderia Corsa has also pulled one of it's two Ferraris. This is starting to get a little alarming.

What are the reasons for the withdrawals? Budget or what?

Most haven't been explained but are generally thought to be unhappiness with the rules/organization/costs. Gainsco couldn't afford to buy a whole new car for just 3 races, Tucker/Level 5 stomped off in a huff, as did AMR. Guess Corsa just couldn't find funded drivers for their second car. No idea why Millenium pulled out though someone mentioned elsewhere that it may well have been because of the mandatory Continental tires in the P Class. Hope there aren't going to be too many more.

There's a handful of teams that are still not happy with the way tires are being handled within the series.

What reason did AMR give for leaving?

Level 5 frankly left because they were going to struggle to win anything significant because the series won't bend over for them. Whilst I preferred ALMS for almost everything, at least TUSCC has handled them better to the point where they aren't even bothering with the LMP2s.

You have to admit, allowing the GT PRo's to run whatever they want but dictating Conti's for the other three classes is a bit asinine.

Why? It's obvious why GTLM is different in this sense.

Also if GTLM was forced to use the Contis, you can say goodbye to any TUSC team winning GT Pro at Le Mans.

Their car was no where under the regulations so what's the point in competing when you have no chance of winning

Aston's Vatanges are pretty shit. The only way they could compete last year was because of the BOP.

BOP is meant to equalise the cars. If there is a huge issue then the BOP isn't correct. You could argue that they shouldn't be equalised and it should be purely on team and engineer performance, but the rules are the BOP will level the field.

I don't remember how much it was but they were given a weight reduction for this race but had already pulled out.
