After a frenetic series of full-course cautions and hard-fought restarts, the final run to the Rolex 24 at Daytona checker for Tom Blomqvist and the No. 60 Meyer Shank Racing with Curb Agajanian Acura ARX-06 was relatively calm. The team, 2022 IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship champs, took its second consecutive victory in front of the largest crowd in the race’s history.

The biggest drama at the end came from LMP2. James Allen in the No. 55 Proton Competition ORECA passed CrowdStrike Racing by APR’s Ben Hanley at the line to take the victory for him, Fred Poordad, Francesco Pizzi and Gianmaria Bruni by just 0.016s.

It’s a big year at Le Mans. The 100th anniversary of the 24 Hours, a whole bunch of new regulations to wrap our heads around and the return of Porsche, Ferrari and Peugeot in an onslaught of new competitors. Enough to feast upon, right? Well, now we learn Jenson Button will be driving a NASCAR racer in endurance racing’s headline event.

Mike Rockenfeller, Jenson Button and Jimmie Johnson put a new Chevrolet Camaro ZL-1 through its paces for the first time at Daytona International Speedway on Tuesday, kicking off its preparation for the 100th anniversary 24 Hours of Le Mans in June.

 

Inace ovo nije prvi put da Naskar gostuje na najprestiznijoh enduro trci na svetu, isto su pokusali 1976:

Fenomenalna trka! Oboren brzinski rekord, najmanje "zutog" u istoriji i na kraju prva tri unutar 1,5 sekunde. Zadnjih sat vremena je bio spektakl, lider Gunon u Mercedesu nije menjao gume u boksu da bi odrzao poziciju na stazi i onda su poceli da ga sustizu Engel (isto Mercedes) i Kembel (Porse). Dolazi do kontakta prilikom pokusaja preticanja za vodjstvo, Gunon je okrenut, Engel prolazi ali dobija drajvtru kaznu i pada na trece mesto. Do par krugova pred kraj trke Kembel pritiska Gunona a Engel smanjuje zaostatak od preko 30 sekundi na samo 2 sekunde. Onda Kembel pravi gresku u pretposlednjem krugu i ocese zid kad je bio na samo 3 deseta od vodjstva i do kraja trke mora da brani drugu poziciju. Da je trka potrajala jos krug-dva Engel bi sigurno bio drugi a vrlo verovatno bi uzeo i pobedu, fantasticna voznja sve trojice!

Quote

NASCAR, Hendrick Motorsports, Chevrolet and Goodyear took another step toward the 24 Hours of Le Mans by unveiling their official Garage 56 entry Friday at Daytona International Speedway.

 

The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 largely resembles its NASCAR Cup Series Next Gen counterpart with a composite symmetric body. The main difference is the specs that make Garage 56 fit to compete in France, such as headlights, taillights and a larger fuel cell. The Garage 56 car is also lighter than the Next Gen car, weighing in at 2,960 lbs (1,342 kg) compared to the heavy stock car at 3,485 lbs.

Meyer Shank Racing’s grand win to open the new IMSA GTP class at January’s Rolex 24 At Daytona has been retained, but the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship has levied six penalties against the team for manipulating its minimum tire pressure data and running below the threshold set by official tire supplier Michelin during the season-opening race.

A 54-car preliminary entry list has been released for next week’s Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. While most of the classes have shrunk from the Rolex 24 at Daytona opening round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship as is typical, the LMP3 field has grown from nine to 10 as the regular season championship for that class, as well as LMP2, begins.

Toyota Gazoo Racing’s GR010 HYBRIDs led the way in the first of four FIA WEC Prologue test sessions at a sunny and hot Sebring.

 

The highly-experienced Japanese factory team, which has the most tried and tested car in the new-look Hypercar class, set the pace as the WEC’s class of 2023 shared a track together for the first time.

After weathering the storm of the post-LMP1 Hybrid boom and bust cycle, and responding with an extensive overhaul of its regulations, the FIA World Endurance Championship enters 2023 poised to reap the benefits. With the new season comes brand new teams and manufacturers, the prospect of more to come in the future, and the promise of another golden era of endurance sports car racing.

The first practice session of the FIA World Endurance Championship season saw a surprise at the top of the times. AF Corse’s No. 51 Ferrari 499P looked set to finish with the fastest time, courtesy of James Calado who managed a 1m47.935s. However, it was Ryo Hirakawa who ultimately set the benchmark time for the day when he reeled off a 1m47.649s with two minutes remaining in the session to top the timing screens in the No. 8 Toyota GR010 HYBRID.

 

This lap, faster than any of the times set at the Prologue test, put him ahead of the two Ferraris that finished up second and third in the times. It may not have ended up with the fastest time, but the performance from AF Corse’s 499Ps represented a significant stride in pace ahead of the car’s global race debut on Friday. The early signs of a memorable season opener are here…

Ovog vikenda je "Super Sebring", uz gorepomenuti WEC 1000 Milja vozi se i IMSA 12h Sebringa sve u jedan vikend.

After AF Corse’s Ferrari 499Ps managed to get close to the Toyotas on pace in the opening practice session of the 1000 Miles of Sebring event this morning, the Japanese team turned the wick up during the red-flag-interrupted FP2.

 

The quickest time in the session was set by the No. 7 GR010 HYBRID, Kamui Kobayashi posting a 1m46.954s, a tour of the circuit significantly faster than this morning’s quickest lap from Ryo Hirakawa (1m47.649s).

A 1m45.783s from Kamui Kobayashi during a qualifying simulation for the No. 7 Toyota Gazoo Racing GR010 HYBRID topped the third and final practice session for the FIA WEC teams at Sebring ahead of qualifying.

 

With each session, Toyota continues to find pace and looks to be the favorite for pole position this evening. Just what sort of time will be possible in qualifying? It’s going to be fascinating to find out.

The FIA WEC field for Friday’s 1000 Miles of Sebring has been reduced to 36 cars. The heavy shunt in Free Practice 2 for the No. 88 Proton Competition Porsche 911 RSR 19 left the car damaged beyond repair, and the team with no choice but to withdraw the car from the remainder of the meeting.

 

The No. 88, driven by Harry Tincknell, Ryan Hardwick and Zacharie Robichon, hit a concrete block head-on at high speed after contact with the Cadillac Racing V-Series.R of Richard Westbrook, resulting in a lengthy red flag.

The No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti Autosport Acura ARX-06 spent most of the first hour of the first practice session for the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring sitting in the pits with an electric issue. But when the car finally turned some real laps, Filipe Albuquerque immediately put it on the top of the time sheet, posting a 1m48.303s, good for a 124.32mph average around the 3.74-mile, 17-turn Sebring International Raceway.

 

Cadillac spent most of the time at the top as teams prepared for the second round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, Renger van der Zande the best of the two in the No. 01 Chip Ganassi Racing Cadillac V-Series.R at 1m48.436s, only 0.098s ahed of Pipo Derani in the No. 31 Action Express Racing Cadillac.

IMSA FP2: https://racer.com/2023/03/16/acura-on-top-of-second-sebring-practice-this-time-msrs-blomqvist/

 

Quote

With a split qualifying session affording the GTP cars a nearly open track, several teams opted for a qualifying simulation at the end of the second practice session for the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. In what is seldom the fastest time of day at Sebring, Tom Blomqvist dropped the top time from this morning by more than a second, with the next four cars chasing him within the same second.

 

Blomqvist’s 1m47.049s (125.77mph) lap in the No. 60 Meyer Shank Racing with Curb Agajanian Acura ARX-06 topped the second practice session as most of the cars got in a full session, the exception being the No. 25 BMW M Team RLL M Hybrid V8, which only turned eight laps at the end of the session after changing a faulty torque sensor. It was Acura-Cadillac-Acura-Cadillac followed by the two Porsche Penske Motorsports 963s and the two BMWs.

A disjointed, multiple-red-flagged night session that saw both GTP Acuras grind to a halt on track was led by the No. 31 Action Express Racing Cadillac V-Series.R with Alexander Sims at the wheel. Sims’ 1m48.420s lap was well off the times turned in qualifying simulations this afternoon, but good enough to be the first non-Acura to lead a session.
