Rolex Sportscar Series Miami

WOW! Porsches are dominating both GT and DP. And this driver named Wolf Henzler seems able to drive the damned wheels off a 911! Nobody can touch him.

Great racing. I wish they had better camera angles to cut down on glare from the headlights.

It's only a matter of time before Tafel Racing and Hensler/Liddell win a race. Two poles and no race win should motivate them even more.

Stupid yellow flag rules cost Porsche the GT win. But great job (..or is that..Job?) on the overall victory!



Who says Porsche isn't running and winning top level racing??!?!

(..ok, that may be a little bit of a stretch.. )

The France's are bound to put some restrictions on the DP Porsche engines after this.

While I can't get too excited over Daytona DP's don't under estimate Alex Job racing they run an excellent team. They are a "family" type team from a little town of Tavares Fl. but they know what they are doing. I really hope when Porsche starts selling their new LMP Spyders that Alex Job runs one in the ALMS series. Ditto on Wolf Hensler he can drive a 911 !!!

Probably not yet. A big part of the reason the Porsches ran so well is that they have unrestricted rev-limiters. At the roaval tracks like Homestead and Daytona, that gives them some advantage (with the slippery Crawford chassis) on the oval parts. But when Grand Am gets to proper road coarses, the torque in some of the other cars' V8s will be better suited. You didn't see a Porsche powered anything run away with the race in Mexico...

In other words, they haven't shown a lack of parody or unfair advantage. ...yet.
