No matter what you write, it is a fact Toyota are being gifted wins. They have no competition but themselves. I do not blame them for the situation, but when an organization is showering you with gifts it is prudent to not complain about that organization.
I don't care one bit what the folks at Ten Tenths think.
If you think the ACO is screwing up that is your opinion. I am waiting until the rules are finalized before judging. But I do think the recent changes are a substantial improvement.

Fernando Alonso is out of TMG's LMP1 program following Le Mans. He's due to be replaced by former Porsche LMP1 factory driver Brendon Hartley.

Sounds like Paris to Dakar or wherever the hell they run it nowadays is in Fred's future.

OMG, so wet and muddy out at M-O. Maybe 250 spectators here. Shot lots of cars in rain with my Canon 80D and EF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS II lense. Just got this set up off Ebay in last 3 weeks. Images are amazing.
Montoya/Cameron fastest in P1 ahead the #91 GTLM Porsche 911. 😲

I was there for a promo event that IMSA did with the ALMS in July of '08. Hotter than hell and got dumped on in a severe thunderstorm. Had fun until it rained, though. Only other time I went to Mid Ohio was in the fall of '96 for the Runoffs.

Major mud bowl out there. Not gonna dry out anytime soon. Saw lots of exotics covered in mud today. Tow trucks were busy. Motor coaches parked in the grass along the long straight up to the keyhole were parked 2 X 2 on the paved exit lanes, so only one lane in and one lane out. Campers in the esses (turns 5 thru 9) were sent to a staging lot about 1/4 mile from the keyhole, yeah basically out in BFE country.
Good thing this isn't the Indy Car weekend, they might have to re-schedule or refund a lot of tickets.

It stopped raining about 3 PM. Good news is the weather is looking good next two days. Sunny and chance of rain late tomorrow and Sunday mostly sunny with about a 10% of rain. But the mud, have I told you guys about the mud?🤣

Only other time I went to Mid Ohio was in the fall of '96 for the Runoffs. Yeah, I remember that weekend. ALMS ran with Indy Car. Big storm hit Sunday morning and lightening hit a transformer that knocked out power in the paddock. I was in the paddock when it hit. I am glad I was in the paddock.🤣

If I make it to Mid Ohio next year for IMSA and it calls for rain, I'm going to stock up on Porsche body parts and make a fortune.
