Very cool to see the second R-Ferri entry with Terry Borcheller.
Also cool to see more Mclarens on the GTS grid. |

I'm going to be there with a friend from Thursday through Sunday. We are aiming for a trackside site on the outside approach to T8. It'll be my third Mosport PWC and my friend's second.

Riberas set the fastest lap during Pro-Pro Qualifying, but then hit the wall, ending the session with a red flag.
He'll probably lose his fastest lap if the car is repairable. Per PWC's Twitter he is out of the car and okay Long, Morad, O'Connell, Fong and Sellers were next quickest. Cooper's Cadillac doesn't seem to have set a representative time. |

It looks like it's going to be light rain almost all of Sunday morning and afternoon.

Decent battle between Buford and Francis for the win in Race 1. Really strong run by Baptista, looked to be in position to have a shot at 3rd until contact from Barkey took him out.
More excessive blocking from Aschenbach, holding up first the XBows, then Baptista. Last edited by Mechanic Z; 20 May 2017 at 16:54. |

R Ferri done for the weekend, chassis is damaged. Lime Rock in some doubt at the moment.

Another Sprint-X race that could have been pretty good, but was completely ruined by some stupid rules inequity. What a total farce.
If they want to allow cars to pit under yellow, they need to close pit exit until after the field behind the safety car passes, similar to the lemans procedure. |

Yep. The cars who pitted ahead of the yellow got robbed, especially the #58. I can't really find any change in regulations on FCYs. A change was made clarifying pit lane delta rules, but the wording regarding yellows seems to be the same. I'd be curious to know the exact wording change which allowed this BS.
End result is, a mid-pack car which should have been caught out by the yellow is gifted the win. |

Seriously frustrated by the lack of consistency from race control, GTS race again featured some strange calls.
Whatever the case, great race by Buford and Racer's Edge. Another weekend sweep. |
