Isn't Mosport Round 9, and isn't Detroit Round 10?

There's a photo of the Viper in scrutineering at Mosport on DSC. Looks like it's running on Michelins from the rear tyre.

The Viper won't be there as it seems due to them not having the proper refuelling kit. A shame...

You can likely scratch Van Der Steur from Detroit. Their car was pretty damaged at Mosport.

**SPOILER ALERT!!** - SPEED Touring Car winner is given below sorry guys.
Pecorari went out and won the Touring Car race in convincing fashion (I didn't see the race as I was walking the ALMS paddock making sure all drivers were there - low and behold one of the drivers missing was Pecorari to which Mr. van der Steur explained that he had just won the touring car race and wouldn't make the session 'till later on). I think given his capabilities as a driver VDS would be glad to have him on board, however, he is looking to progress in his career and a team that is running a limited schedule isn't the place to be if you want a Le Mans win. If Adam doesn't return to VDS it will most likely be on his own accord. When leaving the track yesterday I tried to convince the boys at VDS to give me the wheel, tire, drive shaft and suspension bits that had been snapped off - alas 'twas to no avail. Back to the subject at hand I was going to point out that I saw the Prime Time guys at Mosport, never got a look at their CC however, I did see them running I believe a IMSA Lites car. I'd like to see a more competitive CC effort however, development on that car will be slow and given no one could touch the "non-factory" Mazda that dominated IMSA Lites this weekend I can't comment on the capabilities of the Prime Time team. I'd also like to point out we see the return of Trans Sport and Cytosport and strangely missing from the list is the Creation-Judd of Autocon. Chris |

It wouldn't be such a problem if it were Petit Le Mans(10 hour) or Laguna Seca(west coast race-starts in the evening in Ohio). And I can look up the results to see if it's worth taping and saving. |

According to the Radio Web, the suspension or tyre let go on Pecorari. Didn't sound like it was his fault. Regardless, he's a definite talent (see his performance in the StasiS/Pfaff Audi in Speed TC this weekend) and I don't see him being sacked. He's the resident pro on a shoestring budget team (but superfriendly, immediately asking me inside the tent with my camera to photograph the car's engine setup), who else to you expect to be pushing the car to the point where it breaks and/or he bins it?

Should make for another P1/P2 battle though, Audi still bringing the 07 carsor back to the old ones for this weekend. Not really the straights to stretch the R10s legs, but maybe McNish can get it out front and push the Spyders into some trouble.
Sucks to see VDS out, maybe back for PLM with some help. |

And now Audi has also been added a light fuelling advantage (see latest DSC-news)
Although I have in mind that Audi was once penellized with a kind of "fuel-restrictor" for the refuelling -is this still in place? |
