Daytona 2024

LOL...Bimmer just shredded a right front...

Well.. when you think you've seen it all.
Because of the tiny pit boxes the steering wheel was oriented upside down for the new driver. Bob was trying to downshift it instead of it going into 1.
Great stop,crappy exit

Ok, back in top 10. Have to let the Turner boys catch the pace car instead of being on tail end of lead lap.

 

[PatrickStapler]

Well of course...it's only fair....

 

[blacksheep-1]

If U R watching this, it is criminal, the BMWs are passing us at will.

 

[PatrickStapler]

I have been...Actually sad!!!

However, it is the BMW Endurance Challenge isn't it?

 

[Tri-bar]

Now I know who Imsa wants to win, good chance that BMW wont get a BOP as hard.

 

[TMSBOSS]

Makes you wonder of BOP has anything to do with a balance. The thumb on the scale looks more like a club foot.

 

[PatrickStapler]

BoP...Bimmer Opportunistic Performance

I really don't see a balance.

 

[TMSBOSS]

I guess you don’t own a bimmer.
A balance would have made the cars oh I don’t know…..balanced. This looks like Ford was spanked for looking so strong coming out of the box.
The Boss embarrassed the M3’s when it came out. A better car at a lower price. We can’t let that happen again. Can we? (Sarcasm)

BOP---Blacklist Our Ponies!

I do not own a BMW for sure. Imsa keeps doing the same thing to ford over the years, There is a history of them killing the mustangs performance since the Grand Am days, But I'm sure you knew this. I wasn't really surprised.

 

[blacksheep-1]

Well finished 8th.. was 1.5 laps short on fuel. Best we could do.

 

[PatrickStapler]

I’d say you did well with all the restraints.

 

[Vettel-ish]

Is IMSA going to relook at this now?

 

[Bill Pemberton]

One of the Manufacturer and Racing Fabricator Company Engineers constant battle , because their task is to make the cars fast, reliable, superb handlers, and even fuel efficient, yet often race to race the Teams are making adjustments. Cat and mouse game and Daytona always sends a wrong signal in some Classes when they will not be running long races like it in the GS/GSX Classes. It seems like things go in cycles and at present the benefits seem to be leaning away from Ford, Chevy and Porsche and giving advantages to Toyota/Lexus and BMW. This means if you have an ugly car you get help, ha, ha!

Testing at sebring today and sunday..

 

[Bill Pemberton]

............and now we know why you are considering this might be your last year. But re-tiring has been your job for a long time!

 

[blacksheep-1]

It's been a long 2 weeks, everyone is walking dead..
