Default IMSA Northeast GP

Looking forward to being back at this event after multiple reschedule attempts last year. Hope the C8's aren't saddled with too much extra weight and can run up front.

Seeing that the entry list in GTLM is just Chevrolet and Porsche Poking around as to why this might be - I guess this explains it to some degree...

Interesting how the Porsche was 30 seconds behind the 2nd place Corvette within the first 30 minutes of the race. Can you say Dominant? The C8R looked like it was in a different class.

I have a video from 2y ago and the Porsche WRC was really howling - hurt your ears - 2y later they don’t sound the same - I don’t know if the C8 is that much better or if Porsche has slipped. I guess it doesn’t matter to them - as I think I read that Porsche isn’t returning next year. A shame that Ford dropped the GT40. Like the C8 dominance but also want to see some dicing….
