Notes from the Watkins Glen IMSA race
I’ve been to the Watkins Glen race circuit many times, in all kinds of weather. Searing hot to serious cold and drenching rain. I survived the Bog. I love the place. Here then some notes and a few photos from the Sahlen’s Six Hours of the Glen:
Penske v Joest v Cadillac v Nissan v Gibson: Epic IMSA era here?
The 2018 IMSA Weathertech Championship will go down as one of the best seasons since the classic GTP era.
Being There: The 2010 LeMans 24 Hour Race
Another from the deep archives: A racing vacation to Europe concludes with the 2010 LeMans 24 Hours. It was an epic battle between four Peugeots and 3 Audis for the win. The food was great and it didn’t rain.
Mr. Brainwash, Miss Mann, and More
Art cars are becoming quite normal these days, the trend started by BMW long ago with an Alexander Calder BMW CSL for LeMans. Early art cars were actually painted with paint; now the “paint” is a vinyl wrap.
IMSA Sahlen’s 6 Hour at Watkins Glen
It was another great IMSA 6 hour race at Watkins Glen this past weekend. The main takeaway from the weekend was this: Wayne Taylor Racing’s Cadillac did not win (although another Caddy did win), BMW led from the get-go (and won), and the Acura NSX continues to show great pace (and won).
Red Bull Global Rallycross New England
Red Bull Global Rallycross New England was a great show, marred by some long breaks in the action. When the racing was on, it was GREAT!
Pirelli World Challenge at Lime Rock
The Lime Rock bullring is very quick and these GT3 cars are right at home here, impressive with their outright speed and technology. Many of the Pirelli World Challenge teams are factory-run or factory-supported.
