@dsceditor@FIAWEC It’s sad, but also there is an element of the ACO paying for their hubris with this. Seems like there is a chance now they might not fill the grid?
@Aidan_Millward@GPLapsJake I’m not, after seeing the onboard from the 04. The 47 with the move right to left then back left to right in a braking zone is bad enough against a competitor in the same class, against a much faster car it’s a recipe for disaster.
@AshVandelay The playoffs are already a farce, not granting it would be the icing on the cake, especially if he were to go on and win the regular season in spite of missing the 600. People have gotten waivers for suspensions, the start every race rule is a joke.
@gancewski_piotr@JimmyBroadbent@specutainment Different classes. The Supra is in SP10 for homologated GT4’s. Jimmy’s is on the entry list in SP8T which means they can run better tires and way more power
@atflorio I did. And still think this is an awful idea. Chasing continued insane growth isn’t a realistic option but that’s what you suggested. Multiclass is part of what makes sportscars great, taking that away would be bad for everyone.
@specutainment make it only one qualifying session. Reverse for the sprint, actual qualifying positions for the actual GP. Get back a practice session or change parc ferme to after the sprint to help the GP.
@agbullet25@JimmyBroadbent There absolutely was not room on the curb for the car. It would have been in the grass and then potentially bouncing, it could have been a lot worse for both. He’s lucky it was just 5 seconds.
@JimmyBroadbent I agree the contact happens early, and hence I don’t think the penalty is for that. At the widest point he’s maybe a foot from the white line, and while technically that leaves the other car “space” he’s in the dirt at that point and bouncing so that doesn’t feel like space to me
@specutainment Corvette is really setting themselves up to be a powerhouse in GT racing. It’s going to be good next year but 2025 excites me even more if they can get into even more series and maybe some IGTC rounds+Nurburgring
@specutainment@radiolemans@kpcom@FIAWEC I get wanting two car teams instead of 1 for more data because that also doesn’t fill the GT grid and turns away cars that want to race while not filling your grid and that’s a bad combo. Or some get more and others don’t and you make people more mad.
