Not a good day for Corvette Racing at Sebring.

I hope they get things worked out so that they can be competitive again.

At least we endured on a terrible track and didn't come in last place like a $450,000.00 Ford GT did.

Long Beach is a horrible street circuit.
I can't get too excited.

~ Let's hope that it's not a repeat of 2017's cluster on the last lap.

Pretty much turned me off on watching IMSA. I still peak every once in awhile but have trouble watching it. Seems like BoP and stuff like this last year take racing out of the hands of the teams and into the hands of series leadership. It seems like they want the appearance of multiple manufactures winning despite the teams competitiveness.

I agree! What about that “mid-engined” Porsche 911?? I haven’t seen one of those in a dealership?!

Long Beach street race has always been about getting exposure in the biggest car market in the country.
Hell, Formula 1 even raced there years ago!
However, in terms of actual RACING, it's the absolute worst.
I have seen too many races from a lot of different series end up being a joke to watch.

Every year I wonder why in the heck doesn't some billionaire build a REAL track in Southern California.
And for those unaware, Southern Cal has a LOT of hilly country that would be perfect for a track.
