I won't be taking this weekend off work, so no Saturday races for me, but I'll be running the LMP2 with Bill (DrNoise) in the Friday timeslot.

Anyone else planning on running this event?

I would like to do this race, Porsche GT3 or LMP2 would be my choice for this, GTP BMW as long as I can outpace the Dallara...convincingly...without trying mega hard lol.

I leave for fake family vacation in the Smokies, so will miss this one

Wait, I didn't know @Kinger's "disease" was contagious....

Currently just running Baseline. I tried Medium DF, but it cost me nearly two whole seconds. My LMP2 time is 1:35.1. Optimal is 1:34.5, or something like that. Biggest concern is tyres; have the LF at 11-13% after a full fuel run. RF is as low as 30%. I ran the Caddy to a 1:30.x, the fastest time I've seen for it so far is a 1:28.x. The times are close, but even the LMDh's that were running 1:31-1:32 didn't ever seem to struggle to pass me anywhere they wanted, which surprised me, but was nice. They're rocket ships on the straights. They just always died two corners after passing Bill and I!

I am no longer able to participate in this race, good luck to anyone that runs!

I'd love to run this but don't think I can make it.

My wrist issue has set me back over3 weeks now and I've no time to spare.
