    Ford and Ferrari Hit With Performance Penalties At LeMans

    BOP is BS. Why not skip the charade and run identical spec cars and just have the companies put on their unique logos with wraps and to further level the field have all of the drivers put into a pool and have them chosen at random just before the start. You wouldn't want any team to have an...

    What tires are recommended for the track?

    The OEM GY are very predictable breakaway characteristics. So IMO driving them on the track at a slower speed than Hoosiers would be safe without surprises. I never drove my Hoosiers on a road course so I don't know about what they do at the limits, but I have to believe they are OK as many use...

    What tires are recommended for the track?

    Since I live in CA the rain is pretty predicable. Almost zero chance of rain from May to Nov. and at other times the weather report gives you a fair chance. If I lived in Hilo or anywhere else where showers can come at any time it wouldn't be a good choice. That said, Hoosiers grip better in the...

    What tires are recommended for the track?

    Too bad Hoosier stop making as regular production the rear sized tires. I think they are a great match for all uses if you don't drive in the rain.

    Cluster module Failure

    It's under the dashboard and gauges right about where the OBDII connector is. Look for threads on how to change the gauges. The gauge harness goes to the module.

    Sportscar Market April/June

    In a free market only 2 things set the price, supply and demand. Given the larger than usual supply of >4000 for a collectable car, the demand must be extraordinary! A true testament of the FGT's desirability. We are all fortunate to own one and many more than one.

    Rear defroster switch does not illuminate. Cause?

    I would think you would need it in Hilo given how often it rains.
