'10 ALMS Round 3 • Laguna Seca • May 18th - 23rd - Page 7

Just thinking aloud, is there an FIA rule for safety about the fuel cell size? Was thinking if the ACO really wants to cut costs and potentially slow laps, wouldn't larger fuel cells fit the bill? Longer stints would mean more durable tires could be developed, might be light at the end of the stint but the tires would have dropped off quite a bit.

That is a SERIOUS sweeper they are towing around. Have they always used that or something just a Laguna?

NightStalk3r · 23 May 2010, 00:12 (Ref:2696254)

Im just going to say it, Cytosport are simply not capable of running an RS Spyder, no team has had so many problems with the RS Spyder as they have.

broadrun96 · 23 May 2010, 00:21 (Ref:2696260)

Dyson had some trouble didn't they? Although theirs seemed to be more about pace and setup than the running problems of Cytosport. Could it be they are too tight and stretch the rebuild durations?

Is Interport doing the full production for CBS? And did CBS used to do the full production work themselves or just air what the ALMS put together for them?

Maasen getting in to try to sort out what's really wrong with it?

Looks to me like memo doesnt know what to do to get the car to go lol, maassen jumped in and the car just drove off like normal.

Has Laguna turned into a survival race now? Could a GT car win overall if they keep falling away?

NightStalk3r · 23 May 2010, 00:32 (Ref:2696265)

And the billy spun and wrecked it.

broadrun96 · 23 May 2010, 00:38 (Ref:2696268)

GT2 leader the 92? Pylon said 4th overall??

cor123 · 23 May 2010, 00:38 (Ref:2696270)

From Corvette Racing: 3 hours done, 3 to go. Under 6th caution. GT order: BMW, Porsche, Corvette (Beretta), Corvette (O'Connell), BMW, Ferrari.

Very close call for brabs on that restart

90 BMW is 4th Overall according to live timing.

I've got to say, the 2 BMW's are really impressing me. The cars are showing greatly improved speed and the pit crews are arguably the best in the paddock. They no longer have the weight advantage either. They're doing all this on an equal playing field!

i missed it, what happened on that restart that damaged the 16?

protopuma · 23 May 2010, 01:03 (Ref:2696283)

the 16 spun it out of the last corner right in front of brabs who barley missed it, and the 16 took out an lmpc

broadrun96 · 23 May 2010, 01:03 (Ref:2696284)

Looked like he just got in it a little too hard and spun the rears to slide the rear out on him

thanks, by the time i came back in the room i just saw bodywork missing on the 16.

Highcroft is sitting pretty now, but then again it was the same at Sebring.

i don't think the Risi Ferrari will have any front bumper left by the end of the race if they keep this up.

they sure are giving it their all. I wonder if that is the car they are taking to LeMans?

broadrun96 · 23 May 2010, 01:22 (Ref:2696292)

Hindy is really going to have to stop talking team name or throw out everything he did earlier today or NO ONE is going to want to be seen by him at LM.

tlongman · 23 May 2010, 01:31 (Ref:2696294)

This GT2 battle has been AMAZING the whole way through!

cmk · 23 May 2010, 01:31 (Ref:2696295)

Jeremy Shaw relates that the Cytosport gear selection problem was due to a piece of gravel becoming lodged in the shift mechanism during the spin of Gidley's. Not an electronic issue at all.

Nick6 · 23 May 2010, 01:33 (Ref:2696296)

Back after 3 hours. What happen to the RS spyder?

marcel82 · 23 May 2010, 01:37 (Ref:2696297)

Memo gidley got in it

NightStalk3r · 23 May 2010, 01:40 (Ref:2696299)

They cannot let the Risi car out like that.
