Barber - Thursday Report
Friday, April 9, 2010 at 01:52AM Under a morning rain, the Team in Green reported for the first day of practice at the pristine Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama. We thought getting out of Florida would mean good weather – our two trips to Daytona this year have been cold, rainy, or snowing, but to be fair Homestead was very nice. The rain let up this morning before Continental practice and the sun came out later in the day, we’re all hoping it stays like this.
First up we had the Cayman out for Continental practice, with Leh Keen behind the wheel for the first half of the session. We’ve been focusing on the rear suspension of the Cayman quite a bit, and we’re making strides but still have a ways to go. In our first session, which was damp but drying throughout, we were eighth, and in our later afternoon session in the sun, we were twelfth.
We had one session today with the GT car, with Craig getting out first and going pretty quick right out of the box. Unlike the first Conti practice, the track was totally dry, but going off wouldn’t be good as the ground was still really wet from the rain – a couple of cars ended up stuck in the mud and had to be pulled out. We ended up tenth, about two seconds off of the fast time, but for us this race is all about tire management and making the car work over the course of a whole stint. Craig was really happy with the car, as was John, noting that they will make some changes for tomorrow based on what the data was saying.
By the way, it is interesting that we are only one of two Porsches entered this weekend in GT…
