Expect some pretty big pre-race BoP changes.

Test day is underway. Session 1 the Ford GTs were 1-2-3-4. I'd expect BMW/Ferrari/Aston Martin to all get some big time help.

Two years attending the Race, I still can’t believe Ford decided to eliminate the Hospitality Suite and Attendee Program for this year. Very disappointed!

I have a LONG history of attending Indy - it’s now part of my DNA. After two years of LeMans,vapparently I’m hooked on it too! Watching this on TV just even remotely isn’t the same.

Ford - support your race Team and your GT buyers - put the damn deal back together!

Hey, at least the big beautiful BMW hospitality looks great in the same spot! 4th year in a row for me...

I would just add for the benefit of the ‘competitive’ Corvette’ people, you should consider yourselves very fortunate. Year after year, GM ensures it’s Corvette buyers get access to tracks, including Indy. Everywhere I go in Indy for the month of May, it’s all about the Vette. Have to congratulate Mark Reuss on understanding and supporting his buyer demographic. It’s really tough to understand the rationale for the lack of support by Ford.

I always enjoy going to races with Porsche and just Porsche events in general. There's something great about the army of Porsche enthusiasts in their 911s, Caymans, 914s, whatever. You go a race, you will chat with Frank Steffen-Walliser. You will chat with David Donohue. You may have a drink with PCNA's marketing VP (who coincidentally came from Ford). They may put gum in your cake for showing up in an Ecoboost jacket (true story). :lol

You can't even buy a Ford GT team shirt at the Rolex 24, the largest sportscar event in North America, because Ford leaves the decision up to Versacomm, who then decides "meh, it's not worth our time." Random Ford fans ask "Hey man! Where can I get that Ford GT jacket?" "France. And you're going to need a time machine in order to get to 2016." If I hadn't gate crashed the "Mustang" corral with the GT this year, it would have been 4 Mustangs...You know how this works.
