I don't quite get the Porsche thing. I mean I do, but I don't get how you *sell* the fastest car getting no changes, and the second car getting a boost reduction.

Happy Birthday Porsche. :lol

Dave... Me thinks you are right... it’s a Birthday Present for sure!

On the way. Haven’t decided what country I’ll be in tomorrow yet, but Garen and I will be in LM Thursday.

KarKajun... can you do a live unveiling of your new GT so I can be there when it happens :)

I'm another Jerry wondering the same thing Mike. Maybe via text or start a new thread so we don't derail this thread.

I'll see what I can come up with. It took me about 5 minutes to do my 5 second application video. :) It will be on a different thread...back to racing...Go Blue!!!!

Is it repairable or out of the race?

Just heard one of our GT's touched the wall. Really tough not being there this year. Missing it terribly.

The Rowan's and us went to a car club gathering today in the village of Arnage. Interesting stuff there including several Alpine's, a Panhard, and a Matra. Also got a pic of Miss Le Mans 2018.

Believe that was Andy Priaulx, not Kanaan.

Then we went to the circuit for evening and night qualifying. Got a wonderful tour of the FGT pits. Watched the 68 and 69 pilots work on driver exchanges. They can swap out and strap in in about 25 secs. A fuel stop takes 35 secs. We sat in the Dunlop curve grandstands. Great view of cars coming up from the pit straight. A few offs and spins there. Minor drama with the 67 and 69 cars with some body work damage. Both were back up and running rapidly. Fords are 3,5,7,and 11 out of 17 GTLM-Pro cars.
