rvrdgsfn Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Welcome to the 2018, open wheel race chat! I'd figure I would get this started since the roar before the 24 happening this week, I'd figured I would open up this as well. - Some big changes in open wheel especially in IMSA now that Team Penske has returned to IMSA with not only Juan Pablo Montoya but also Helio Castroneves & Ricky Taylor & their goal is simple, stop the dominant force that is Cadillac - In Indycar, we have a new chasis & a new champion in Josef Newgarden & from the looks of the car as well as the reaction, I think we're going to have a great season - In Formula 1, the question is who will get their 5th championship first, the reigning champion Lewis Hamilton or will Sebastian Vettel finally end Ferrari's drought, or will Red Bull's Max Versatppen or Daniel Ricciardo or even Valteri Bottas play spoiler? - World Endurance will begin its super season but with rumors coming about LMP1 possibly switching their model design to look more like a road car, could we see the next revolution in Prototype racing (IMSA is also listening & hopefully this brings in more manufactures) - World Touring Car Championship is no more, they have decided to go TCR so that will mean more manufactures. - Pirellli World Challenge is going through some changes, Cadillac has left & Callaway has come in, bringing Corvettes with them. K-Pax switch to Bentley Looks like we got a lot in store this open wheel season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvrdgsfn Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Bumping for the results of the 24 hours of Daytona P: Action Express, Cadillac: Albuquerque, Barbosa, Fittipaldi GTLM: Chip Ganassi Racing, Ford: Briscoe, Westbrook, Dixon GTD: GRT Grasser Racing, Lamborghini: Bortolotti, Ineichen, Breukers, Perera The two heavyweights in the Taylor brothers were knocked out but WTR & Team Penske could only hold on for so long which gave Action Express the break they needed. I will say this though, despite the rotten luck, I think Acura & Team Penske are going to be a force to be reckon. The dominant Ford GT's from CGR proved to be unstoppable. Giving Chip his 200th win as an owner. & Grasser started last & won it all! 12 hours of Sebring is up in March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvrdgsfn Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 Bumping for the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg 1. Bourdais 2. Rahal 3. Hnichcliffe 4. Rossi 5. Hunter-Reay 6. Dixon 7. Newgarden 8. Jones 9. Andretti 10. Power Pure Honda dominance. Bourdais was in the right place & the right time. Bourdais looked like he was in similar form like last year. Robert Wickens drove like crazy but a last minute tangle with Rossi proved to hurt him. Rahal managed to come back after issues in the beginning so I got a feeling he will be making some noise. Next up, Phoenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
