Grand Am

During the night and the morning started in the real contenders for victory in the Rolex Grand Am 49 24 sort themselves out.
Leading the pack after a night of crashes and mechanical failures, and flawlessly at all, and was 01 of Telmex Ganassi Scott Pruett, Rojas, a note, Graham Rahal, and hand air. And Pruett and Rojas won the tournament you Grnad many times; won nine of the twelve races last season. It is considered that lead, which is almost unbeatable.
We are pleased a lot of people do not see in the # 01 traded strongly with six hours to go, but a surprise at all.
# 01 sister car, the # 02, with a variety of All-Star, is also in competition to win the overall. With a crew of IndyCar and NASCAR Stars workout that Scott Dixon, Dario Franchitti, Jamie McMurray, and Colombian Juan Pablo Montoya and Ganassi excellent team supporting him, one can be surprised to see this car in the top four either.
Did not lose # 02 laps in the early tire problem is with the background of a thousand engineers and hope to resolve with camber adjustment. The Ganassi team did not participate in the trials of winter tires Continental uses the new series, new tires, along with newly paved path Daytona and grippier much, and led to the unexpected wear. As the temperature rises during the day, the crop tire trouble again?
Ganassi cars also change the transmission ratios of skilled mechanics of the task has been able to do in less than five minutes during the heat of competition. Decreased speed, reliability and luck allowed the cars to compensate for the loss of laps, while many of its competitors lack one of necessities of the three, and back.
The only really tough Ganassi now is a team award winner last year, and fast action, and return with two cars this year. All cars and drivers lists the regular Grand Am, ie, all the stars here, just solid performers with years of experience in the Daytona models.
This was expressed by a new team in action last year, based in large part on the venerable Brumos Porsche team, with decades of Hurley Haywood Daytona 24-hour experience of experience, which includes six victories. Despite the strong roots, most people were surprised to see the work of expression for victory in the Rolex thiough - 2010 did have a lot of luck, when he called for Ganassi crew in their car to fix a problem that were not present.
Rapid Action returned this year to prove that the win last year was no fluke. Regardless of the place, which ends at the end of the day, by the surviving even this to be the only team to race head-to-face with Ganassi, it has proved to have a lot.
But, as both teams know, leading, at 10:00 does not make sense. The pilot at 3:30 pm is all that matters. The race so far as unusually competitive, said Scott Pruett Speed TV on Saturday night in early, "madmen only there. It's like you think you're in the last ten minutes of trying to win this race, these guys are just going crazy."
If this is how the people fought with the 22 hours to go, and how it will be with the - two or two hours late?
Scott Pruett has a good idea of what can be like: "It will be the battle of the cat to the checkered flag," he said.
Some of the other candidates =
Endurance race for not just being fast, it is clear - - almost always. It was years ago it had nothing to spend hours in the car, digging and came often to the back and racing wion after major repairs.
Currently, cars are much more reliable, and can be made quickly reforms, to the extent that the failure of ten laps and a half year may be intractable. Ask the team throwing the orchid, which was the fastest car on the road for the first fifty laps, and now 17 laps down. Paralyzed on the incidents are not of its own making, and # 45 Flying Lizard Porsche Riley, with its list of world-class drivers, still holds the record for fastest lap of the race, but was not able to erase the deficit, no matter how fast to run.
This can happen the same thing in any of the leaders. And through work and Ganassi crews know that to do so, and run the teams behind them.
Shank race always seems to have a car and almost but not quite to make any move top of the podium. This year, Fielding and the team three cars, all is going well. Michael Shank is well aware he will need a combination of good luck and bad for the cars of the opposition, it is also fully aware that such luck could come in the way, and in both cases. Should Ganssi and cars across the work falters, Michael Shank hopes at least one of the cars will come through in the end.
Another dark horse is not for the Krohn Racing Ford. For a long time that the chassis can only win in the rain, does not seem to work well this year. Slowed down the number of trips and off-road racing incidents, but somehow managed to keep the team in the lead lap.
While the driver of excessive competition, such as Juan Pablo Montoya in the # 02 Ganassi risk of destroying while sparring with his colleague note Rojas, had Crohn's car sail through unscathed.
SunTrust and the rest is the level of both the car five five laps down well around the corner if things go their own ways.
Even now, at 10 am, at the hands of fate stikes a new victim. # 5 in the car through the work of weaving David Donahue at a bus stop, stalled, and clutch on the fragile with the stuck car, and the yellow flag is out, and truck safety is heading to the beast pull back to the barn, and have already started car # 5 slide downward during the rankings.
This is the endurance race. It is tired, it is sad, and cruelty, which is the real test of men and machines, test to destruction.
