Sorry its a little late, been ill for a few days.
The Petit Le Mans Spotter Guide, supported by Ten-Tenths is now online and ready to download. http://www.spotterguides.com/2012-almswec/ Special thanks to DSC photographer, Martin Spetz who supplied some reference images for me earlier this week from testing. Thanks to EVERYONE who has downloaded the guide this year. Been a massive success. Will be back next year, hopefully with more guides if we can find sponsorship (hint, hint - get your brand into the hands of die-hard race fans) Will be at PLM, so will only update if significant changes. |

Spotter's Guide looks great, Andy!
Well, it's a gorgeous day here at Road Atlanta. A couple hours ago the drivers gave a tour of the Falken paddock to a group of 10 Tenths members. It was great to meet everyone, and the discussion/Q&A was some of the best we've had all season in our tours. It was a fun group to have. Any other users that will be arriving later in the week are welcome to come by. We can't promise a tour, but it'd still be great to say hi. We're getting ready for the first test session of the day. Like everyone else, we're not going to be looking for speed, but instead dialing in on the set up. |

Text from a friend at the track says the Deltawang got into it with a GTC car and rolled somehow. Gunnar was in the car, apparently OK.

Looks like a big job at the very least. Wonder if they have the parts to rebuild... |

Wow, was Scott Sharp driving for Highcroft when he crashed the Acura a few years ago at T3? They might have the experience.

That's a bad hit. Car rolled and ended up upside down. I think they'll be OK, Dr. Don Panoz's Elan Motorsport Technologies are nearby.

It will be a shame if they don't get it buttoned up. I was looking forward to seeing the creation in person; I guess there's still a chance. No better place to test the safety of a racing machine than Road ATL. |

The best Viper time less than 1.0 s from fastest GT time. This track seems to suit the big snakes. Hopefully, they can make the distance and have an encouraging finish.

Maybe the track suits them, or maybe the change in rear wing height and weight have something to do with it!

IMSA Performance Matmut on racing at Petit Le Mans in GTE Am:
http://www.imsa-performance.com/en/n...t-le-mans.html First time they've raced over here and they sound excited about it, though their main goal is finish ahead of the AF Corse car. |

Interesting comment by Bryan Sellers when asked if the Delta Wing was hard to see? His reply, "No way! That thing looks like a jet landing!. It has lights all over it." I agree. Couldn't believe how bright those lights are. |
