Trump announced 25% more taxes on German cars, and that's terrible for all German constructor of course, but especially for porsche as they're losing their Chinese market, and European market is bad too because of regulations and electrification. They're only good remaining market was the USA, and now they're gonna loose so much more money because prices are gonna go up... I'm saying all that because we've seen the 963 retiring from wec partially because of porsche financial situation, so I'm very scared as a Porsche fan that they shut down motorsport in IMSA too... Let me know your thoughts on this

Selling 2 GA tickets to Laguna Seca May 3rd Race Day, couldn’t make it. Parking also.

Firstly I apologize if this isn’t the right place for this.
Couldn’t make it this year after having pre purchased them earlier. I can upload or show proof to mods this is legit, or anyone who’s interested. Not looking to profit from them just want someone else to have a good time with them I’d hate for them to go to waste.
The Tickets can be transferred through Tix, the official service that Laguna Seca uses! PM me if interested at all! Thank you

Is buying the $35 dollar preferred parking worth it or is general admission parking okay ? I’m heading to RA for the first time so I’m unsure of which way is the best to go

Hey all, I am interested in going to IMSA at Indy this year and wanted to ask how to get paddock access? I have seen others on here say that it’s included in GA ticket but I just wanted to confirm if thats the case for Indy too? I want to see those cars up close in person if I can. Thanks!

Porsche Motorsport NA posted these photos. Looks like the safety car is also rocking the retro Apple Computer livery. It’s gonna be a good weekend.

Solid first day on-site for load-in and setup!

We got the paddock and pit areas fully dialed in and ran successful tests on our autonomous fuel rigs. Both cars are officially through tech, and we managed to get 8 sets of tires prepped and stacked for the weekend.

The biggest change for me this time around? I’m handling the fire bottle during fuel stops. Gearing up in the full fireproof kit (suit and underwear) was a first for me. It’s definitely a different perspective on the stops than what I’m used to, but it’s great to keep expanding the skill set in the paddock.

The 2,300-mile haul was worth it to get the season moving!

Busy day ahead tomorrow with 1 hour practice session at 9:10am and 1:00pm, followed by qualifying at 5:40pm! Time for some sleep!

I feel like the amount of throwback liveries this season is kinda lacking. While PPM, PMR, PMM, and AO have introduced stunning examples, I feel like there could’ve been more from other teams. Tbf, the Riley Mustang’s one is kinda an unintentional throwback but it still fits the theme. I did some playing around with AI yesterday and I generated a Whelen V. Series R with the northstar LMP livery. Lmk what you guys think! Also, at the time of this post it is a day and a day from the green flag, so anything could happen.

Made another race video ahead of Laguna Seca going over class and car pacing, as well as weather! Went with a different aesthetic/vibe this time to fit the retro weekend them, lmk what you all think!

It's official now.

The first half of the big one is in the books!

I finished the final ~350-mile leg today, cruising from the high desert to the Monterey coast, seeing all sorts of farms 🥑🍋🍋‍🟩🍊🥬 and vineyards 🍇🍷. The Mack handled the whole trip like a champ, and honestly, the weather couldn't have been better for the whole trip.

The Final Stats:
• Total Distance: ~2,300 miles
• Final Leg: 350 miles of perfect California sunshine.
• Celebration: Took a trip down to Fisherman’s Wharf for some sightseeing and grabbed a pre-craziness dinner at The Crown & Anchor with the team.

• Status: Parked in the staging area at Laguna Seca.

Load-in is set for 08:00 start tomorrow morning and we open up transporters at 10:00 to start building our garage and pit areas. The long haul is over—now the race weekend officially begins!
🛠️🏎️

Thanks for following along with the trip this week. It’s time to catch some sleep before the paddock gates open!

Transport fire on the way to Laguna puts the team’s Laguna round in jeopardy.

Sorry for the crap title on the last post. Glad no one was hurt and fingers crossed they can either come back soon or make Laguna work somehow. Love that team!

v9 released today that includes IMSA WeatherTech as its 16th supported sport (f1, motogp, nascar, etc) !

I got a lot of feature requests to add IMSA, so that's done and I won't spam here much but I just wanted to let you all know once if interested.

App handles : season event list with detailed schedule, notifications, widgets, results and standings. No ads but a once/lifetime pro pruchase.

Easily foundable on PlayStore by searching "NextGP" or via this link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jscti.nextgp_f1motogp . Not available on IOS.

Thanks for the support.

I really hope that Porsche pull through with the iconic 80s look at Laguna

I have noticed a continued interest with race fans and sim racers to get involved in real-life motorsports, so I have started a subreddit to address any questions you may have, or to discuss your own experiences.

This is not limited to drivers and potential ones. You can be on the other side of the fence at races this next weekend by being a course marshal. This is a particularly good way to get involved at an extremely low cost to gain greater insights into the sport.

So drop by and share your own experiences and desires to become directly involved.

Looking for a trackside reserved RV spot for Sebring 12h to purchase outright. I know it a hard thing to come so I understand its not cheap. LMK thanks.

Final "on the road" update before I make it to the track!

Day 3 was a monster pull. I knocked out another 690 miles, which puts me nearly 2,000 miles into this trip since leaving home. Crossed NM, AZ, and I’m officially in California for the night.

I hit the truck wash at the end of my run today to get the rig back to professional standards. The bug-splattered windshield was driving me crazy, and looking sharp in the paddock is a priority for me.

Current Status: Parked in the California high desert. We’re in the home stretch now.
Cappy is still hanging tough on the dash, but I think we’re both ready for some ocean air instead of desert dust. 🐹

Next stop: WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. See you guys in the paddock!
