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…)

Porker Plans
Is there a 2010 ACO spec Porsche? Of course there is: the 2009 GT3 RSR with a 2010 plate. Falken has one, according to driver Brian Sellers. Don’t be surprised if Sellers is joined by a factory pilot. Porsche’s running out of places to put the boys, and Porsche doesn’t want them idle. Socrates would have classed them as idle anyway, having opined, “They are not only idle who do nothing, but they are idle also who might be better employed,” and the Porker pilots won’t be very well employed in the American Le Mans Series.

Split in the World Center of Racing?
AC tells the Bear there’s a major split at NASCAR over future of Grand-Am. A stunning amount of empty seats at Charlotte cup race has bean counters in full panic mode. Boring races and terrible TV ratings mean more bad news looming for NASCAR. But AC reminded Murphy that the greatest minds in sport – maybe in the history of the world – are in charge, so he’s not worried. The brain trust on International Speed Boulevard will figure this out and 2010 will be the best year yet for NASCAR and Grand Am. (more…)
