Last Floridian stop for the IMSA Camel GT circus, and another victory for the Jaguar team, courtesy of Brazil's Raul Boesel this time. He won with a very short margin over Tommy Kendall's Spice, the American having delighted the crowd with a tremendous late charge for the lead, finishing just 3 tenths of a second short of Boesel. A solid 3rd, Geoff Brabham proved once again the reliability of his Nissan, while James Weaver scored the first valuable points for Dyson Racing with a nice 4th place.

| I'm gonna have to sit this one at as well. I've got this stupid recurring illness/infection, who knows, and I feel worse than I did going into Palm Beach, I really don't have the push to drive for 2 hours, and I haven't practiced yet. Sorry, see you all on the roadcourses!! | |

| Very unlucky race for me Took the pole, led for 98 laps out of 115 with about 1 minute advantage over Sanjin ,then the engine blew up and was forced to retire. See you in the next race!! | |

| Yes to bad for u Carlo. Bad luck. But U have car and speed to win . This was my chance and i manage to take it.
Again great racing with Minter. I must pit twice and i needed that 30 seconds to get out in front. I lost 1 gear in lap 14. maybe better cos was saving tires driving in 2nd. I was 100 % all time. Had one spin joust before second pit cos rear tires gone over 240. did fastest lap somewhere before that to.
I was very angry cos we didnt drive BC cos there i had fast car and enought fuel for one stop. and that was my winning chance.
This win means so much to me. thx all for great racing. WD to all. | |

| Well Done Sanjin,..and Others !!,..lol Yes also a rather Strange and eventful Race for Myself as well. Firstly let me apologise to Alex for an indeiscretion early on But I arrived through the Kink and was suddenly All Over you,..Bump !!,..Ouch,..sorry, also apologies to anyone else I 'Baulked'. I was happy with the Qualifying time, but had I must admit Not found what I would call a Perfect setup, I had a couple that were OK in different ways. In Practice I found on line on the nite (as is often the case) I needed to adjust my chosen setup just a bit, but I was pretty happy. It was Driveable,..Well,..I thought so,..lol Now I know I don't have the Greatest connection, but methinks occasionally some weird things were happening tonight lol. Race starts and Hey, I am Pulling away from those behind and the 3 in front aren't disappearing into the distance !!,..Cool methinks, so I start to settle in, when a few laps in I go around a corner, there is a bit of a 'Section' flash or something and Bang, it's suddenly like I have No Castor or something, The setup has Gone to mars, or Maybe My Controller has,..Not sure. Was thinking of Making a pit stop to Adjust the Wheel,.even make a disconnect if Needed,..and Bam !!!,..Disco !! The TMP File had Crashed,..DOH !! Well it did atleast let me Make sure I did Have the Right setup and when I reconnected, I Re Calibrated the Wheel,..But even so,..it was at times and annoyingly infrequent and Not Consistent,.like I was suddenly getting Very Low Frame rates, (even though that would Not appear to be the case from the display), but it Felt like it,..until after visiting the Pits again. It Got better after that and seemed a bit more stable, but by that stage was Way down,..always annoying when you have a Reasonably Quick car ! Took me a while to get into it again. all was going along OK until I made a silly error trying to Not Impede both Milt and carlo who were approaching at a great rate and I missed the turn ,..Nudge,..I tried to Keep Well to the Left, but I guess Milt assumed I was still going Quick and Kabammo !! Sorry about that Chief !!!,..lol, I hope Your car remained OK,..from the Little I saw after watching a replay you seemed to keep motoring along !!!m,, Get out of the Pits again and am running along OK,..when Bang 2nd gear Goes,..Damn !!! I Continue for a lap or two whilst I get what I have to do in My head and as I come into the Pits, I also Lose 3rd !!!,..so Retired. After what was looking like an OK race today, it Quickly descended into the Mire !!!,..ROFL Enjoyed the drive though,..apologies again to all who Need them !!1,.. rofl Thanks again guys See ya at the Next one Cheers, Stewart | |
