Wins two biggest races of the year, still does nothing but bitch and moan. And people wonder why I hate Porsche…
Sportscar365@sportscar365.com · 5h agoPorsche Motorsport boss Thomas Laudenbach said that two wins in a season is “not enough” for the brand to consider its factory participation in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship a success.
Waiting for the right wing dipshits to cry about cislunar being a “woke” term.

This is actual democracy.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 20h agoMissouri voters on Tuesday rejected an attempt by the Republican-controlled Legislature to make it harder to pass citizen-sponsored amendments to the state’s constitution, preserving a tool that voters across the country have relied on to pass laws their legislatures would not. nyti.ms/3TCTELv
People might compare this to WEC but it’s not even remotely close. I think benchmarking your BoP with equal representation is the best measure especially when there are dramatic swings in talent in the GTD level.
Sportscar365@sportscar365.com · yesterdayIMSA is evaluating the possibility of mandating all active GTD manufacturers in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship to also have a car in the GTD Pro class, beginning as early as next year.
This shot gives us the best view of the airflow coming off the IR28.

Unfortunately they are losing their Lamborghini ride and they need OEM support. Hopefully they can get a bronze driver and jump into GTD. Horrible considering they just gave Lamborghini their first major series win in the Temerario. I’ll still be at the races in my Pfaff gear next year.
Sportscar365@sportscar365.com · 2d agoPfaff Motorsports will pause its IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship program at the end of the season, amid a renewed focus on supporting up-and-coming Canadian drivers and new developments at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.
Finally able to finish the end of the IMSA race at Road America. Shame it ended under caution, but huge wins for WTR and Pfaff!!! @theheartofracing.bsky.social in P2! Lauren Heinrich finishing P3 is staggering!
The Pratt Miller LPM2 car has been a trying experiment for the company. They formed the program to showcase their abilities to run a GTP program. It’s been a work in progress to say the least.
Looks like the Shopify car either got spun or spun themselves. Too bad it didn’t plow into the wall.
Mike O’Gara, IndyCar’s VP of Competition and Race Engineering told Bob Pockrass the IR28 is designed to have power assist steering. (Electric power steering like on many road cars). They will test it for determination of future use. Cue all the Indy olds whining.
daniel@danielsem2004.bsky.social · last wk.Some things about the new car I’m not a fan of: The aeroscreen still looks like it’s just thrown on the car. I’d rather see the slope of the front nose incorporated into the aeroscreen. Still no power steering. It’s dumb to not have it. It’s not overly dramatic. It looks okay, not great.
The commentators mentioning WRT’s program compared to RLL last year. WRT wasn’t going to do much better in IMSA this season. They didn’t have the staff and support in place. Where it IS benefiting is their WEC program. They now have all the data from both programs and the IMSA data helps WEC.
Someone didn’t set the focus right on the camera in the 24 car. 😂
Andrea Calderelli should always be the qualifier in the Lambo. Mitchell is a good fuel saver because he is s-l-o-w…
Wishing I was at Road America. At least Road Atlanta is coming up soon.
