2011 Grand-Am Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona

[THE_STIG]

New year, new race season, first big one of the year is the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona (January 29-30 on SPEED TV). Who is going to watch it? Who you pulling for? I am stoked about Flying Lizard's entry into the DP class, they always do well in the GT class and they are running the Overall winning Brumos Porsche Riley DP with Patrick Long, Seth Neiman, Johannes van Overbeek and Joerg Bergmeister as a line-up. I think they have a great chance of doing it this year with the help from Action Express and Riley Technologies in getting the car set up. As far as GT, i'm pulling for the TPN Racing/Blackforest team, they are running a 2011 Mustang GT, I am curious to see how the mustang does upon its reentry into the Grand-Am Rolex series.

What channel is it being broadcast? I would love to be able to follow/watch the Grand-Am for once.

Edit: I've never followed it but it's never too late right?

Sorry I'm a little drunk and didn't mean to quote myself.

Haven't been able to follow it at all, but doesn't Ford have some new thing going in there with the Coyote motors?

Lucky! I have gone 2 out of the past 3 years....wanted to go so bad this year. The last time I went, we rented an RV for the 6 of us. I had such a good time that I puked on the plane ride home to dallas....twice.

Thought that was cool as well.

Looking forward to seeing how the '11 GT does against the Camaros. They ran pretty strong last year from what I remember.

SPEED's website should have more than enough info on it, or at least links to other sites.

GRAND-AM Road Racing - Official Web Site is the series' site

Bergmeister (sp?)/Flying Lizard team is dominating so far. That's a fast Porsche they got there, built up a +16 sec lead rather quickly.

Anybody know what happened to the TPN Racing/Blackforest team Mustang (#11) entry???

 

[PureStang]

i would be watching, but my cable at school doesnt offer Speed in the 1st tier package, and im not willing to pay 50+ more for 1 channel lol

 

[VADER*]

i was there today, that porsche in your sig was flying. i didnt see any mustangs, maybe i just missed them. Were there new Camaros running? they didnt sound so good. I may head back tomorrow.

FYI, the TPN Racing/Blackforest team Mustang was withdrawn before the race with technical difficulties. Hopefully we will see it next race in the Rolex series. I'm very curious how it is setup to race in the Rolex series as its closest competitor is a tube-frame Camaro.
