I'm still waiting for you to explain to me how gearing overcomes
aerodynamics...

Ask Scott Kalitta.
I asked you. It's a simple enough question. If you are unable to answer
it then admit it, and I'll spend 5 minutes explaining it to you.

Hallucinating, Brain? That was an uttering from a keyboard, not a mouth. And

So? (Fuck you; you're an idiot) is a true statement.
ROFL. Tetchy today, hick?

I realize this thread has wandered a bit but.....

I just want to say I just got back from a long weekend at Road America and
all I can say is that the ALMS (and by extension the ACO) better not do
anything that stops manufacturers like Audi from building cars like the
R10.

They, like the R8's before them, are magnificent to watch. So quiet, I
thought the track was being vacuumed.

Not to slight the others though. The Penske Porsches are impressive and the
Lola's never disappoint. (BTW, if the Audi's have such an "unfair
advantage" how come the _P2_ Porsches are nipping at their heals lap after
lap?)

Bottom line is when it comes to sports car racing (and F1 for that matter)
I, as a spectator, _want_ to see the most exotic, high-tech, race cars as
possible. There are plenty of other series that provide less than that,
don't screw this up.

With more and more places like Brands and Monza having noise issues maybe
these are the future of motor racing?

What they need to do is beef up the P1 and P2 categories in ALMS. Though
they have far fewer LMES races in Europe than ALMS has in North America, the
numbers in P1 and P2 are very healthy compared to the small number in ALMS.

P1 LMES - 8 cars
P1 ALMS - 6 cars

P2 LMES - 10 cars
P2 ALMS - 3 cars
