I'll be sure to say hi if I bump into you. I went to exhibition in that hotel you told me about in Indy, but never actually caught you during last USGP. |

Looks like Acura really has to step up their game if they're going to catch the audis. 1.5s gap per lap over 12hrs is really going to hurt them. Did they ever release any specs on fuel mileage compared to the audis?

I here is a link to entry list as they become available with driver line-ups.
http://www.planetlemans.com/2009-calendar/ just click on the little green box next to each event for entry list with drivers. If the box is red there is no list available yet. They do ALMS, LMS, FIA GT3, Le Mans, Classic Endurance series among others. |

Thanks, not a bad site there.
I noticed a couple of guys that stood out. Allan McNish (thought he was Euro only), Scott Dixon, Christian Klien and Seb Bourdais. I was surprised to not see Graham Rahal in the M3 or Jacques Villienuve or Vit Liuzzi in a Puegot. |

Will do. I didn't bring my tent this time, but I am not too sad, last time in Indy during F1 race it got too cold in tent and I went to sleep in the car so I might just sleep in my car. |

^ I've been looking at that site for years, the guy who runs it is one of the authors of the book "Inside IMSA's Legendary GTP Race Cars: The Prototype Experience" which is a good read.

Wednesday morning news and times
Sebring 12 Hours - Wednesday Morning Results By Marcel ten Caat ***8901; March 18, 2009 Peugeot 908 #08 at Sebring Turn 11At 10.45 the first official combined practice session of the American Le Mans Series took place on the Sebring International Raceway. After several hours of rain last night the sun returned to Florida on Wednesday morning and with fans building up their camp sites the race weekend really got underway. Just before the session was set to start there was some worrying news from the Peugeot camp. With the #08 having an off yesterday the team had already lost valuable track time, but late last night the French team apparently discovered a crack in the tub. As a result the #07 did not take part in the session. A total of twenty-two cars eventually lapped the track and set a time, a notable absence being the VICI Racing team. Only one car was under the team's awning, but there was not a single team member around. Nevertheless the team is expected to run its two cars tomorrow. Despite the set back it was Peugeot setting the fastest lap of the session. The #08 Peugeot 908 HDi FAP was six tenths of a second quicker than the two Audi R15 TDIs. Both Acura ARX-02a cars got closer again, this time within a second and a half of the leading Peugeot. In LMP2 the Dyson Racing Team #16 Lola Mazda finally got company out on the track. The Lowe's Fernandez Racing Acura ARX-01B made its first runs and ended the session about a second behind the Lola. Dyson's second car was still being completed in the paddock and will be running later on. The Advanced Engineering Pecom Racing Team managed to set yet another fastest lap time in a practice session, the Ferrari F430 GT2 three quarters of a second quicker than the Farnbacher Loles Racing Porsche 997 GT3 RSR. The BMW E92 M3s had a good session finishing third and fourth. The Flying Lizards #45 Porsche did not set a time. Wednesday Morning Practice Session Result: 1 - #08 Team Peugeot Total - Peugeot 908 HDi FAP - 1:45.159 2 - #1 Audi Sport North America - Audi R15 TDI - 1:45.745 3 - #2 Audi Sport Team Joest - Audi R15 TDI - 1:45.810 4 - #9 Patrón Highcroft Racing - Acura ARX-02a - 1:46.219 5 - #66 de Ferran Motorsports - Acura ARX-02a - 1:46.581 6 - #16 Dyson Racing Team - Lola B09/86 - 1:50.772 7 - #15 Lowe's Fernandez Racing - Acura ARX-01b - 1:51.726 8 - #12 Autocon Motorsports - Lola B06/10 - 1:55.520 9 - #3 Corvette Racing - Chevrolet Corvette C6.R - 1:57.913 10 - #4 Corvette Racing - Chevrolet Corvette C6.R - 1:57.986 11 - #37 Intersport Racing - Lola B06/10 - 1:59.027 12 - #95 Advanced Engineering Pecom Racing Team - Ferrari F430 GT2 - 2:02.897 13 - #87 Farnbacher Loles Racing - Porsche 997 GT3 RSR - 2:03.648 14 - #90 BMW Rahal Letterman Racing Team - BMW E92 M3 - 2:03.749 15 - #92 BMW Rahal Letterman Racing Team - BMW E92 M3 - 2:03.855 16 - #62 Risi Competizione - Ferrari F430 GT2 - 2:03.886 17 - #44 Flying Lizard Motorsports - Porsche 997 GT3 RSR - 2:04.287 18 - #61 Risi Competizione - Ferrari F430 GT2 - 2:04.641 19 - #21 Panoz Team PTG - Panoz Esperante - 2:05.026 20 - #007 Drayson Racing - Aston Martin Vantage GT2 - 2:05.624 21 - #40 Robertson Racing - Doran Ford GT - 2:05.944 22 - #11 Primetime Race Group - Dodge Viper GT2 - 2:07.940 |
