169. Jaguar to move on? Prototype Prospects. Mid-Ohio is “on” – for IRL. The Obligatory Abruzzi stuff.

Friday, June 25th, 2010

A car that won’t race is just part of Jaguar’s problems. When your best finish (by far) in an ALMS race is last place, 36 laps behind the Porsche class winner, it can’t get much worse, can it? Sure it can. It did at Le Mans. (more…)

Duncan and Acura (or something else)

It appears that all the P2 Acuras except one of Duncan’s will campaign in Europe in 2010. If Duncan doesn’t run his, the Bear hasn’t heard that anyone else will, either. There are multiple rumors around Mr. Dayton’s plans, and they certainly weren’t all settled by a recent DSC interview. The Danbury, Connecticutt, team’s been rumored to be running an Acura LMP1, an LMP2, and a Peugeot. (more…)
