Lou's looking good in the first official session of the week so far considering all the down time and lack of testing/running!

Top time so far in GT2:
1.19.898 (#87 GT3 RSR)

#28 LGM best time so far:
1.20.835

P1 cars in the 1:07s WOW

Yes, Lou is right in the lead pack sitting 7th in class at the moment. 1-7 are all grouped pretty close! After the hiatus it shows well for the team.

Good job!

do alms cars sandbag during testing? maybe a little lift on the straight to not show all the guns?

Good Luck Lou and be safe.

Here in Virginia we are cheering for you.

Big time Wally! Watch the Audi's when it comes to qualifying, bet they are in the 1:05's instead of 1:07's. I've seen it all year long.

Stay tuned,

It's pro racing isn't it???

shoot, we do that stuff in our amateur races.

i'm just hoping that lou is sandbagging more than those other guys.

0Randy@DRM

It's not only about sandbagging. There is a time to drive the wheels off it and a time to keep it under control. I put my kart off in practice, and broke two ribs (how stupid was that???)

Here's some interesting Petit Le Mans stuff *and* some interesting stuff about the upcoming GT2 Corvette!

I *love* what's happening in ALMS!

I guess the Lion knows you have to be in it to win it so they better not keep wrecking the cars. May be some sand bagging or what ever you call it is good. May be it is called common sense at times.

Good Luck LGM!

Good thing you were only sand bagging Randy or you could have really hurt yourself

Hopefully someone told that Jerk, LucASS Luhr, to keep his distance from the Corvette.

Hi Guys,

Right now, we are trying things to get the car dialed in. It is getting better, and we are trying higher rate rear springs and some different suspension settings.

Right now, we have Goossens fastest but he and I are only a few tenths apart. And the great thing about data is that I know exactly where I am losing my tenths and where I am faster than he is. If we put both of our laps together, it would have been a second faster.

So with some work, we can get faster. Not sandbagging, but for sure being cautious.


Thanks for the props.

Give 'em hell, Lou! (But save some car for Laguna Seca )

1:19's in practice is pretty darned fast for GT2 isnt it??? I dont remember GT2 ever being even that fast......


Edit: looked it up, the quaifying record was set in 2005 @ 1:21.6 and race lap 1:21.7.


That might put you at the back of the pack this year. This is crazy!!! They may get to the 1:18's this year.
