I would like to drive the GT to Lime Rock,250 miles for me. Think I could get Ford parking next to the team. Any one else think they will make it there.

Hi Dave,

I'd love to drive to the Nurburgring with my GT. Is there any person I could possibly contact regarding possible hospitality, parking, etc. ?

 

[jaxgt]

I'm thinking that watching the NGT at COTA would be pretty cool !

Oct. 1 Petit Le Mans powered by Mazda (All) Road Atlanta – Braselton, Georgia

Lets hope for better weather this year. Drove up this weekend as Blake was there for 2 days open track. Ferrari club was one of the groups and had about 12 cars some with support crews. A few very fast cars in that group. Blake ran his boss and the GT track car. Temp right about 100 but no rain.

 

[Specracer]

We will be at lime rock.

Nürburgring

^^^ Fancy... really taking your chances leaving the country twice?

 

[Nafod]

May be able to make Lime Rock. Back from China the day before. GT parking would be nice

 

[dbk]

I'm hoping to make it to the remainder of the U.S races and at least one of the international events. The Glen race should be cool with the freshly repaved surface. Everyone is raving about it.

 

[Sinovac]

I want to go to Fuji.

 

[dbk]

Look at the hotel situation. Not pretty from what I could see.

Making another trip to return all of the euro coins accumulated from the last trip. :facepalm:

I stopped at one unmanned toll booth in France at night. The friggin' machine wouldn't accept ANY credit card. Unfortunately, the smallest EU bill that I had was a 100 EU. So I received something like 85 euros, in 1 euro coin denomination. That bag alone must weigh approx. 10 lbs. Worse, I get home - banks here won't accept euro coins. Thus, I'm returning to Europe. :lol

Dave, What's the skinny on (2) two listings on 9/17 at COTA? Are there two different races? Or like LM, running WEC & IMSA together?

Two separate races. One 2 hour 40 minute IMSA race, one 6 hour WEC race. Booked the above-garage Paddock Suite today.

I like the sound of that. Love the rumors of R11 being there. I've been lucky enough to see the GT race at 4 different tracks so far this year. A few more tracks would round things out proper.
