And the last seven minutes of the race with the GTLM Ferrari battling the Porsche is good TV too.

Thanks for that!!...wasn't able to watch it last weekend.

Bill Auberlen was once again complaining about straight line speed. If he wants more straight line speed, then the BMW's should lose some downforce. They have the most downforce in the class, why they are so good in the corners. Can't have both.

Vipers are going to win the championship, unless they get a competition adjustment before the end of the season. They just blow by cars on the straight. The adjustments to the Vettes just killed their momentum, they aren't anywhere near as competitive. I believe IMSA were to harsh on them.
