It should be noted that the weather will change drasically by Sunday--high temps during the day will cool by 10 degrees, though the skies will remain partly cloudy all weekend.

lol. its not even homologated yet....theres no road cars either.

but if that abruzzi can go Fast ill be very happy to have another GT2 contender.

Goooo! Abruzzi!

edit:that abruzzi was Only 2 seconds off the pace in its 2nd outing!!! thats amazing.....theres alot more to come from that car....considering jaguar has been at it for 3 years and still 5 5 seconds back....abruzzi is showing promise.

Edward is a fast pedaller! Same sort of pace if not quicker on occasion (use to the Z4 GT3 of course) as Tommy Milner in Dubai and Nurburgring 24hrs

Don't get me wrong....the ferrari's faster....but that doesnt mean the Mclaren is a fail.(it deosnt eve exit yet lol)

Mosport Spotter Guide has been updated with revised driver line up at RSR Jaguar and updated liveries for AJR, TRG and the #89 Intersport.

6am on a Monday morning for this race, think it might be worth it!

Deleted · 23 Jul 2011, 15:02 (Ref:2930133)

Cytosport leading the first official practice atm, Autocon still nowhere. Bergmeister just put Lizards on top of the GTs.

Contrary to what we saw earlier, Abruzzi is now shown as UNCLASSIFIED on both ALMS front page and timing&scoring, so there you go

FordCosworthPanoz · 23 Jul 2011, 15:07 (Ref:2930134)

Kyle Marcelli in the Intersport LMPC puts in a faster lap than the championship leading Dyson Lola has done all session, and Chris is almost 4 seconds off the pace of the Germans in the Aston.

Also, very disappointing so far is the Autocon car, but at the same time great runs by Steven Kane and the Abruzzi.

FordCosworthPanoz · 23 Jul 2011, 15:11 (Ref:2930137)

RED FLAG. Looks like it may of been the Cytosport Aston.

Hit tire wall at turn 9 and slid back across circuit, no damage or injury report yet

Update: Klaus is okay but the car does have some damage.

Yeah. I wonder if someone complained about it after yesterday, but I figured this was a possibility because nobody ever said anything about the car being homologated.

Audi Racer · 23 Jul 2011, 19:12 (Ref:2930183)

I think the Vettes are sandbagging....mosport was made for the vettes with the high speed corners

Jonerz · 23 Jul 2011, 19:32 (Ref:2930184)

Anyone, particularly people living outside the U.S., have the stream up yet? At Lime Rock it took until midway through the LMPC session to get it up. Hopefully that won't be the same this weekend.

I would love to agree with you, but I don't think we have the single lap pace just yet.

Ha, Cytosport did just a few funny laps at the end of P2 and still managed to be faster than both Dysons

Audi Racer · 23 Jul 2011, 19:32 (Ref:2930186)

Bahahaha. and the plot thickens...right after the BMW's get slapped with a restrictor penalty the lizards are showing up at the top of the time sheets in the 911....

i hold my thougths till qualifying

Nope, not even a link to the stream on the homepage and when I go to the player via my history, the international stream remains nothing.

I honestly hope Cytosport wins every race this year until Petit (Petit victory would be near impossible)

I thought that the adjustments for BMW and the Lizards don't go into affect this weekend...

Still nothing here either, FCP. Clearly we'll play the waiting game again.

Dont bother explaining anything to him that involves companies with expensive german cars driven by bankers and dentists.

The Porsches are getting penalties after the race too.

Is the ALMS radio link working for anyone else? It's not for me.

Deleted · 23 Jul 2011, 19:40 (Ref:2930196)

Yey GTC quali well underway and for the millionth time we're welcomed back by a static black screen... but I'm sure we'll hear Atherton praising their streaming service in the fortnight once again

ALMS Radio not working and SHHH! about the adjustments, apparently he doesn't care to know!

At least the radio was working at Lime Rock, they've taken a step backwards! Of course, Mosport has been notoriously difficult in the past for broadcasting. Doesn't seem anyone cares to solve those problems in advance of the race weekend.

These happen to be the same idiots that thought it would be a great idea to dump Radio Show limited (which usually always works).

Mosport was never easy on RLM either. I remember a lot of cell-phone-based Friday promoter test sessions and such.

Well, yes, Mosport seems to have the same wireless, satellite and broadcasting capabilites of an uncharted island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
