I just wondering if any of you guys are into Sportscar racing like the American Le Mans Series or the Rolex Sports Car Series.

ALMS for me. Just overall more amusing, especially with the battles between the R10, RS Spyder, and ARX-01B. Also the action in the GT class is gonna be great this year. Too bad P1 and GT1 are sucking though...

ALMS, big Pratt and Miller Corvette fan (Ollie and Ollie #64/4!)
 There's gonna be a big shake-up when the P1 goes closed. I think Corvette is moving into that category and Cadillac is racing the next-gen XLR-V in GT1. But I'm mostly just interested in the endurance races where everyone shows up like Sebring, LeMans, and Road Atlanta.

While I agree about P1's eventual demise unless everyone has diesel, I find the second part interesting. Did you hear that from somewhere or is that your prediction? -------------------- Because Toyotas kick ass

Mm, I just saw photos of the new livery on the C6.R. That's the prettiest car in the world.

I'm an F1 and CART fan...fun to watch F1 guys without traction control this year, one of the rule changes.
I record any ALMS on my DVR, but open wheel formula is hard to beat. --------------------  |

I though by the title you meant street racing. Which I have done, but not doing anything illegal. (I stop at the speed I'd normally travel on the road)
IDK, I never really watch either. --------------------  "None Braver, None Stronger, None Better.

I think so... Wow, I didn't know that. But what I meant was that they're selling Ford GT40 replicas... I think...

On topic, this is the new Robertson Racing Duran/Ford GT-R:

Sweetness on the kit cars. Now only if I could have my dad's spare 302 for use in the GT40.

You mean the new concept car thing? Problem with GT1 is its so expensive to run. That's why there's maybe two or three privateer teams and the rest are two-car, factory-backed efforts, or it's a team like Oreca who has so much money it's practically its own factory.
