World Challenge at Mazda Raceway (Laguna Seca)

[Tuna]

Practice 1 is done and the top 10 cars in GT are within 1.90 seconds of each other.
Andy Pilgrim is at the top of the speed charts in the #8 CTS V R. Johnny O was 6th fastest in the #3 Caddy.
In between are a Volvo, a Porsche GT3, another Volvo and another Porsche.

Practice 2 starts in 2 hours - more then.

I'd like to see Cadillac Racing in the ALMS taking on the BMW's there or maybe in the DTM racing in Europe. Be interesting to see how they do.

Is this being televised somewhere? I'd like to watch..

No. WC races have a tape delay TV package and only the races - not practice or qualifying.
I'm getting "Live timing and Scroing" from their web site:

SCCA Pro Racing World Challenge

It looks like Cadillac Racing decided that practice 1 was about all they needed as Andy and Johnny went out early in Practice 2 and then parked the cars. Andy was 5th and Johnny 8th in this session.

Qualifying comes in about 3 hours. More tomorrow.

Andy will start second behind the Volvo of Randy Pobst. Johnny O will start eighth. In between are a Corvette, another Volvo, a Porsche GT3, another Porsche GT3 , and a Porsche 997. The "rewards" weight is hurting Johnny here.

Race is today at 14:20 Central - of course it's not televised but I'll be "watching" live timing on the web.
