It does seem that Ferrari are putting some more into the Risi effort. Maybe winning at SLC and still having BMW take over the championship lead really peeved them.

The class is so tight right now, you need to take points off the other manufacturers for lower positions.

Risi probably are peeved, but to be fair if they'd set the ride height of #61 correctly for qualifying they'd probably have been 1st and 3rd...

Looking forward to a cracking race. Off to Newark tomorrow :-) Then a nice drive up to CT.

I don't know, points wise i think they did extreamly good, considering only the first car scores points for the teams championship, the secod risi car would have only made a slightly arger points difference to the other competitiors. The points of the team cars don't add up in alms

Risi has been strong this year at nearly every track they've been to, but Lime Rock is such a challenge with all the traffic and such a short circuit. I wouldn't be surprised to see a car win that hasn't won yet this season. BMW could be tough here, and I am just waiting for the Vettes to pull one out. The outcome of this race could be heavily dependent on the caution periods for sure.

Have they given up using the West Bend Chicane yet? Or do we have that pock up to look forward to again?

Too bad we'll miss a majority of it, I think its time to take a page out of the TNT Racebuddy book and do internet streaming of different camera angles and let us pick to follow the in-cars of the GT teams if we wish.

It should be a good race regardless, the problem is creme rises to the top and I think Highcroft will win again. This is Highcroft's home race just as much as it is Dyson, Scott Sharp's and BMW's. With Dyson's reliability problems unresolved thus far I just don't see them winning.

There has been a lot of drivers moving between cars this year in LMPC, and it doesn't bother me one bit as long as the cars are on the track!

I'm hoping for a strong effort from the vettes, and a Ferrari melt down. I don't really care who wins in the LMP class, it's not really the star of the show imo this year but it would be cool to see dyson break it's string of bad luck.

Isn't Lime Rock the track where Ferrari had a melt-down a few years ago with Salo and Enge knocking each other around a bit?

Lime Rock is where Round 1 of that mess took place. The real meltdown happened the following race at Mid Ohio.

It's interesting, and kind of funny, but for all their horsepower and torque, the Trans-Am cars don't use either chicane, and have never used "the Uphill" chicane, as far as I can tell.

I'd like to see the Vettes win, but I think BMW will be the team to beat.

The Trans-Am cars are also a lot heavier. I don't like the West Bend chicane, but the uphill is necessary. Much better than the cone and hay bale chicane on the back stretch.

Let's all agree that the changes made to Lime Rock were the most affordable, not the ideal thing to do.

As for a Ferrari Meltdown, not likely this is where the F360 got its only ALMS race victory. I think Melo/Bruni are a cut above everybody else in GT, I don't think there is a faster pairing. They have been on pole for every race this year and had something in reserve at Utah and didn't need to use it.

I still believe the number #1 threat to them is #45 Flying Lizard Porsche. As long as #62 can set the pace, they won't be headed. Once your behind somebody it slows your pace down.

Race Pace is roughly .5-1.0 off pole time. But with clear track, all the GT2 cars peddled by pros are capable of running near pole time every lap.

I still say Speed or Wheeler or somebody should give us a visual aid for the lower classes, T&S isn't enough. I also say we should have access to all the in-car camera, since all the cars have one.

GT2 and LMPC should be interesting and so should GTC. We already know Highcroft we'll bring their A game we just wonder if the others will and judging by the entry list the answer is no.

You'll need to tweak the BMWs more than that - they're running LMS type bodywork for the first time. Should be some diveplanes too :-)
