Default Roar Before the 24 information, timing & scoring

Wow, in GS (GT4), top fourteen within .6 of a second, top eighteen within a second!

Still sad how the GT4 Clubsport has been marginalized and BOP’d to death in this series. Competitive times are now reserved for guys like Trent Hindman and Jan Heylen.

I don't know about that, Frank.

My take is that all the guys at the front are within a very narrow performance window, so it's not the Herculean efforts of Trent or Jan that allow the cars to "punch above their weight" but rather they are in with the same caliber drivers in other cars.

Looks better when you look at ALL sessions up to the end of Session 3.

I would love to see a ranking that includes the running cost and "ease of driving a model at the limit "

My mistake, Frank is absolutely correct, fastest 718 GT4 MR times are by Trent and Jan, not Tom, as I noted above and have corrected.

Good luck to all the teams.

I'll be at the 24 hour with a couple of Reisentoter Region pals - staying in an RV right adjacent to the inland lake. Go Porsche RSR!

Agreed. Never driven (other than some test laps before hand and in the Multimatic simulator) a car like this, on a course like this. Even asphalt is relatively new for her.

A real talent. She'll do a great job for Ford.

Costs are comparable across platforms in MPC. At the limit, all race cars are difficulty. That is what separates “men” from “boys.”

Some incredible speed by Spencer Pumpelly this morning. Of course Trent proved me wrong about my Clubsport comments above.
