Actually there is nothing wrong with the BMW "Art" livery so long as one looks at it as just an odd livery, and not an "Art Car" attempt.
As or winning ... not sure BMW can afford the bribes. |

GTLM vs GTD specs
On the IMSA site, under CLASSES, the horsepower of the GTLM cars is shown as 500 while the horsepower of the GTD cars is shown as greater than 500. Weight for the GTLM cars is shown as 2745 lbs while the weight for the GTD cars is shown as 2660. How do the GTLM cars go faster than the GTD cars when they have a lower power to weight ratio? Is this some in the cloud thing I'm incapable of understanding?

Higher cornering speed. Some GTLM cars do have trouble passing the GTD cars on the straights (the Lamborghini last year was pretty fast)

The Lambo was illegally fast lol. That car and it's restrictior is one of the main reasons for the IMSA homologation being separate from the Blancpain set now.

Question...'haven't read the regs. in years....Is the field now maxed at 56? The article (http://nasportscar.com/2017-weathert...before-the-24/) states "mandatory test" which I don't remember (one way or t'other, 'know it's so for Le Mans) and am curious if any add'l entries would be allowed....thanks.

Ernt. Wrong.
Thank you very much Coach. At least someone understood the question. So we're maxed at the 56 Roar participants. Last edited by jimclark; 12 Jan 2017 at 17:29. |

You're excused. No it is not.
"Is the field now maxed at 56?
