They would be tempted if someone would give then say, $250K for the race . Both cars are prepped to go the Sebring Historics Oct. 25th - 28th.

he has former ties with Nissan and Panoz, and is current commentator, so I guess it was a publicity tie in. Speaking of Nissan, the delta still carries that badge so I guess they are still giving some money? Is the crew for this race RML, or have Highcroft picked up crew for the race?
O'Connell also spoke about how great ALMS was to be open to different tech like the delta...so I wonder if there is some political play going on to influence the future fusion results? The delta also went pretty darned quickly today from some times I have seen, which considering it doesn't have an optimized aero package for this type track was both impressive and again makes you wonder how they are fitting it in with the fusion world.

Yep hefty chunk blown out of the coverage by the Nationwide Series and the WRC highlights. Will have to jump over to the stream for a few hours. Not ideal but you can't expect them to park series they have shown all year.

Muscle Milk just 1.3 seconds off last year's fast lap of the race.

There is one possibility concerning the Delta Wing that no one has discussed yet.
What if they actually win the whole thing outright? It is not beyond the point of absurd. They are down into the 1:13's in testing. About 3 seconds behind the Muscle Milk guys. It's a lot, but what if they dreaded reliability problems hit the LMP1 guys. All of a sudden, they are going to be right in the ballpark with the LMP2's. The car is lightweight, nimble and is very fuel efficient. What an amazing story it would be if the thing went the distance and won outright or even fiinished in the Top 3 overall. The ELMS teams convinced me to go to Petit this year. The Delta Wing is what has me salivating. I can't wait to see it in person. |

Well we've got no ALMS on track action tomorrow, then everyday until Saturday. Regarding the Delta thing and outright victory, I think even if the P1 cars see trouble like they have all season, there are still some very strong teams with nothing to lose waiting...

This is Jan Magnussen's last chance to keep his winning streak alive. (He's won at least one race every year since the ALMS began in 99).

Hi All,
Even though we weren't on track today, the guys were working hard on the Porsche. We spent the last two days of on track sessions to test various set ups on the care and different tire combos. Tomorrow we're on track at 1:45pm. Wolf and Bryan have been swamped with interviews and PR appointments, which is definitely a good thing. Since Porsche NA is based here, our duo has a few more appearances than normal. With the flurry of activity going on here at the track, even so early on, it's hard not to get excited about Saturday's race. |

Surely, as I could even pick up the commentating for the historic races last month. Hindy's broadcast should be played over the loudspeaker, so it should come through on whatever the track's channel is, 97.9 FM or something along those lines.
