"ALMS Meets Formula Drift at Lime Rock?
Flying Lizard engineer Stefan Pfeiffer and driver Jorg Bergmeister spent part of Thursday assessing the newly paved track and came away with the same conclusion everybody else had: the surface needs more time to cure and harden.
“You can dig your fingers into the track pretty easily,” Jorg said. “It has a sand-like consistency…I imagine we’re going to be driving on marbles the whole time, but everybody will have to deal with it, not just us, so that’s OK. But it should be, uh, ‘interesting.’”
We’ll see what the massive amounts of torque from the Audi’s will do to the track, and how they’ll deal with sliding and drifting throughout the Connecticut countryside.
If the track falls apart as many expect it to, car control and driving skills will be at a premium. Expect the teams with the most sophisticated traction control electronics to fare well."
Should be interesting to see what is left of the track for the National in three weeks.
