Got a link? I looked on Everslys Twitter but couldn't find much apart from a non existent funding link on nasportscar

Nothing new then is it? BAR1 is the ultimate rent-a-ride team in the series, bringing in more problem-causing-amateur-drivers* than anybody else imo.

(* which Eversley obviously isn't one of)

The 911 GTLM has only one exhaust pipe (each pipe from each cylinder bank combined into a single exit)?

Lance Stroll already crashed the 01 DP. Also, the 4 Corvette caught on fire at the busstop.

Woohoo it's time for pre-season testing! For some reason always get very excited about these things. Do #2 and #60 Ligiers have different engines? I haven't followed that closely for while.

Same 3.5 HPD lump. Bigger than last year. ESM is switching to Nissan after Sebring though.

Yep, its been that way in IMSA trim for a while, in the WEC & ELMS they still run with two exhaust pipes presumably due to noise regs.

I take back my words, in the race he probably will FCY-trash that thing before any of the LMPCs get the chance after all! Give it two corners

I saw video at the track a guy got of the Stroll crash. He was in a pack and spun the tires and overcorrected right into the guardrail. Luckily didn't take out anyone else.

They had that same exhaust setup last year at Daytona. I am not sure why they do it. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that during the Grand-Am days all the Porsche Cup Cars essentially had one massive oval pipe come out the back, those GA Porsches cars were also exponentially noisier than a normal Porsche Cup Car too.

Good.

I am regarding the Corvette catching fire-according to DSC there was a fire in their garage also. Wtf...

I'm no fan of Stroll but it was his first lap in a hillbilly prototype which would be unlike anything he's raced before so cut him some slack....for the mean time.

Hope BAR1 gets sorted out and Eversly gets a ride- if not we could always have a Dinner with Racers special at Daytona lol

GA Porsches used straight pipes. Standard Cup cars had mufflers (and O2 sensors).

The GA Porsches and Mazda RX8's still make my ears ring when I think of overtaking them on the banking at Daytona.

Just realized the 997 911 GT3 isn't here this weekend. I was looking forward to seeing that out with the new 911s.

T&S says the BR01 did a 1:38 but it says the best lap was a 1:41.
