P2 Porsche wins at Mid-Ohio..............ALMS part 1

P2 Porsche wins at Mid-Ohio..............ALMS
I think Audi was in France for Lemans testing and it was just Dyson and others.....

I think this is the case. Our resident LMP informant just gave this info.

Any hear otherwise?

Audi ran one R8 for McNish and dindo....Porsches ran well...and into each other at one point
DILLIGAF Racing 05-21-2006 07:56 PM

yeah, Audi has been using the R8's so that they could get more testing done at LeMans
DILLIGAF Racing 05-21-2006 07:58 PM

Did anyone see the Flying Aston Martin? Left the track, and went airborne for 142 feet. It was in a practice lap.

Nope, he was just kicking the tires and taking it for a test drive. ;)
DILLIGAF Racing 05-21-2006 09:01 PM

track was a little wet, and he lost control under braking. At least thats what the Commentators were saying
AndrewSS 05-21-2006 09:50 PM

oh boy, that aston is going for a ride... anymore pictures?
DILLIGAF Racing 05-21-2006 10:28 PM

I found those on another site, thats all there were.

DILLIGAF Racing 05-21-2006 11:00 PM

no its a true picture. The car flew I think they said higher and longer than the first Wright brothers flight. The car flew 142 feet, and the plane did 120 feet. I wish I could find the video of it, its nuts to see moving.

Was that Sarrazin? Yeah, it's still prepped by Prodrive, but someone should tell him he's not in an STi this weekend... :devil:
DILLIGAF Racing 05-21-2006 11:27 PM

not in that picture. They showed the video of it during coverage today. He was the only car on that part of the track at the time.

Yeah, I was getting my "offs" confused... Was thinking of the Ferrari? that went off with about 15 minutes to go.
DILLIGAF Racing 05-21-2006 11:30 PM

yeah, the P1 car "misjudged" where the Ferrari was, and punted him.
AndrewSS 05-22-2006 12:10 AM

WOW! That is nuts... yikes... thats amazing, next time I am on mid-ohio I am gonna be reminding myself how bad things can get if you mess up on the back straight, geeeesh!

Good way to rupture a vertebrae, hope the driver is OK.
PA04STI 05-22-2006 04:46 PM

Damn you got pics of it....We were in the 1st grandstand was crazy I think something broke.

When it was in the air you could hear a pin drop until in landed....

Was Awesome.
PA04STI 05-22-2006 04:49 PM

We talked to the Audi mechanics as we stood above them....

R10 Definitely in Lemans testing.........

Next year R10 the whole season and they said the R8 will be up for sale....Get the check books out...He said 1 million or maybe a little less depending....

Will have to post pis of a crew removing a GT2 Prosches engine and refreshing the heads on the P2 Porsches....and some other cool pics but not as cool as the FLYIN DB7

Observation
Wow amazing phots one of the first things I noticed was the small amount of suspension travel and we think some of our cars have a stiff ride.

Dude was probably at ass pucker 10 when in the air. I guarantee he radioed into the crew can you guys bring me out some new underwear mine are a little dirty.... :lol:

It was great those crazy Brits were blaring disco techno music in their garage. I told my friend pretty soon they are all going to pass around some Extasy and hand out the glow sticks.
VpointVick 05-22-2006 05:23 PM

I really hate it when people put spoilers [I]in the thread title[/I].

A better (imo) title for this thread would have been: "ALMS at Mid-Ohio.....spoiler inside", or something like that.

I can't watch the races on the weekend, so I TiVo them and watch later in the week. I know to avoid the F1 and WRC threads until after I've watched, but this is the second ALMS race tat's been spoiled for me without me even clicking on anything. :mad:

Is it really so much to ask that the spoiler not go in the thread title?

I'm not saying that you shouldn't post about about it and share with the community, I'm just asking for a [i]small[/i] courtesy.
mav1c 05-23-2006 07:27 AM

Yeah, I've had that happen to me too. See the winner in the thread title. DOH! Not biggee though. That's what I get for being an internet junkie.

As for the Porshes winning overall. Pretty cool, but I don't think the rest of the compeition was quite up to the usual level. When the R10 comes back, the Porches won't have a chance. Still, good to see. I'm sure Penske and DHL were happy (cough....fixed!...cough :lol: ). :)

And I saw the video of the flying Aston. Holy crap!! :eek: Seems like the runoff drops off a bit too much there.

The R8 is like 5 or so years old.....So doesn't surprise me the Porsche is new even if it was P2 and not P1

I want to race at MidOhio. Track days thru them are like $675 then you have to do 2 classes that I think are $300.

Are there any club events that rent the track that I could get in with or that you know of that would be cheaper to race there?

If so can you or anyone reading this help a brother out!!!!!!!!!!

That is true the official school there is expensive, take a look at NASA and the BMW-CCA they offer cheaper options there a few times this summer.

It wasn't that long ago... I drove down the Mulsanne Straight :cool: after the 2002 race and you could still see the trees flattened where the Mercedes landed the year before. Can't believe the guy walked away from that. :eek:
KeithvH 05-23-2006 02:46 PM

1999. And yeah, there were two flips and, IIRC another "incident". I remember watching the race and noticing that the front of the Merc seemed to get light in certain spots (not that I'm any sort of an expert...it just didn't look right). Then, just as it's passing a camera it literally takes off. Here's some interesting stuff: [url]http://www.mulsannescorner.com/benzCLR1.html[/url]

yeah....I've watched it so many times....in diving terms, I think the one during the race would be a "triple flip with a half twist". :D Thankfully, and remarkably, the drivers in both cases were not too badly hurt. :eek:
