[QUOTE="Ry_Trapp0, post: 12180514, member: 27761"] forgot to add, another MASSIVE concern with the speed on the banks of daytona is TIRES! simply put, road racing tires aren't made for that absolutely massive amounts of pressure and the heat generated from that pressure that accrues when running 150+ on a VERY steeply banked oval. in fact, the 'bus stop' was added to the daytona road course because goodyear couldn't build a road racing tire that could hold up to running 3/4 of the oval lap after lap in a 24hr race. the 'bus stop' on the back straight drops top speed on the oval and also allows the tires to cool slightly before jumping back up on it. and the massive downforce generated by LMPs combined with the huge amounts of pressure would simply compound the tire problems at daytona. the insurance provider for daytona actually has a minimum lap time that GA isn't allowed to surpass(they're running within 2-3 seconds of it right now), and that minimum lap is a direct result of tire problems on the oval. i've heard that it's not negotiable, but who really knows. yea man! i understand the complaints with the 1st and 2nd gen cars - straight alien looking some of them - but the 3rd gen body work is HOT!
