    Grand-Am of the Americas

    Just a quick show of hands to see if anyone will be making it out to Circuit of the Americas in Austin, TX to catch the Rolex/Continental Tire Series on Saturday 3/2 (tomorrow).

    The PCA should have a pretty large presence out there in turn 1. Hope to see you there!

    Well said, Alan. I'll be channeling Senna all the way down from Dallas tomorrow.

    Are they using the same course as the F1 cars? I saw that Fogerty got the pole at 2:00.1, which made me curious about the F1 times. Vettel's pole time was 1:39.3. Yikes! If the course hasn't been altered that's quite a time differential. Makes one appreciate the heyday of endurance racing in the early 70s when the prototypes were faster than the F1 cars.

    A few years ago I think the lap times between the DP cars and the ALMS P1 cars was something like 13 seconds around Laguna Seca.

    The Grand Am races are "entertaining" I guess, I'll leave it at that.

    I'll have to settle for watching on TV - have fun!

    DP cars are just a wee bit faster than the ALMS GT cars... which is why I am concerned about this "merger".
