Excellent info, as always, sir. THX!

Great data indeed, Thank you. I am curious what Porsche can do with the new middleengine design in the race and especially throughout the season. Estre & Vanthour is also a very interesting driver-pair.

Cool! Will be very interesting to see how things change come race weekend. Right now, GTLM Porsches slowest in class but fast through the infield. DPi and P2 s slower than old DPs on the oval but faster in the infield giving similar lap times.

Notice the Caddys troddling through S2, but having comparable trap speeds. Not very subtle, GM.

The price of the beloved BoP, AoB. BS instead of engineering.

Don't worry all, I digress.

They do have a powerful engine and a lot of gurney, so that could be helpful with the bus-stop and acceleration out the infield.

Jani did comment on the Cadillac acceleration in one of the articles. But - shouldn't that help in sector two where they are slow?

[Damian Baldi]

There is any information about how many laps did each car with a entire tank?

[Matt]

Most cars probably didn't run a full fuel run in one go.

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.

[Rodger Davies]

I wouldn't expect any others to show up, would be very surprised if the grid is over 55, wouldn't be surprised if it's lower (Turner, one of the LMPCs).

'Not the question...

Again, was the Roar required for entries to the Rolex?
