so dope!

That GT race was awesome. Great move by Barretta on the last lap. Congratz to Johnny O'Connell for bringing the Cadillac ATS-V GT3r home in third on its maiden voyage.

2 minutes to the Touring car races. Go FR-S!

Ernie Francis' MX-5....that was painful to watch.

These races are super entertaining, my only wish is that they had some in-cockpit or even roof mounted camera coverage.

Rivera takes first in class at the second race in his FRS in TCA! Nice!

They will have roof top shots when the races air on CBS Sports. Every car has a camera on the roof. Those shots will be spliced into the race action in the tape delayed presentations.

F'ck yea!!! Scion FRS 1st place in TCA and by a huge margin!!!

Porsche Caymen is such a cheater car for TC. I know it is heavily handicapped but it still is way too much car for TC. It's better suited for GTS.

Agreed. They have the same situation over in Continental Tire Challenge where it is dominating the Street Tuner class.

hmong337 · 03-07-2015, 06:56 PM

^Definitely! I think in Continental Tire challenge, the Cayman's are limited to a 6000rpm rev limit. Even then, they make quick work of the ST class. In PWC, they are already 1 of 3 top contenders in GTS next to the Cameros and Mustangs. They should just keep them there. The Mustang in TC that I saw today is also another car that is way too much car for the class. The Cayman and Mustang should seriously be bumped up to GTS and kept there.

Anyways, tomorrows race starts at 4:25pm Eastern time for TC/TCA/TCB. Will be routing again for Tony Rivera!

Rampage · 03-07-2015, 08:33 PM

Guy looks happy!

Lonewolf · 03-07-2015, 11:14 PM

Maybe some sponsors will now want to be a part of Brass Monkey and this team since they're doing well...cough, cough...Scion Racing...

At least Eurotech Industries is on board...

Just a heads up for those planning on catching the FR-S in Round 3 of the PWC TC race at COTA, it looks like they may be running a little ahead of schedule due to heavy rain at the Austin Tx track. I tuned in for the GT race at the appointed starting time and the race was almost half over already.

It will be interesting to see how the FR-S will do in the rain versus the front wheel drive Civic Si cars and the Kia Forte Koup cars. At last year's Mid-Ohio race, Tony Rivera finished 4th in the TC class in the FR-S but behind the TCA class winning Kia Forte Koup driven by Jason Wolfe. This year they are in the same class.

Scheduled start time is 4:25 eastern but if they start early it could be in the next 20 minutes. The telecast is currently live but nothing is happening.

Rampage · 03-08-2015, 04:05 PM

They are live now.

hmong337 · 03-08-2015, 05:02 PM

Lonewolf · 03-08-2015, 05:17 PM
