As you can see the Risi mechanics leave nothing unchecked, they are waiting for their Sebring engine...they also had to replace the front splitter because when the Ford body slammed the #62 late in the race, the Ford took a big chunk of the leading element....Steve did say the engine and parts should be delivered today at about midday and they will be getting the car together starting Monday...they're taking Saturday and Sunday off to rest, last week their parts needed for the Sebring test were delayed by snow in Italy and had 3 late nights in a row of getting the car ready...

@woody: Sorry for the inconveniences with the upload function.
I think you try to upload png files, which should also work but may do some troubles.
Please try to upload jpg files, that should work fine!

Well it appears that the #62 will stay with its Daytona performance...but I think the Fords should be given a little more weight, they're still a little too fast...I am still angry as hell that Ford and now Porsche are turning GT racing into another GT1 and GT2 type thing again.....in other words a spending war....the new 911's are not available to other teams nor the public, and Ford STILL HAS NOT FULFILLED THE REQUIREMENT IN BUILDING 500 GT's!!!.....Risi Competizione and AF CORSE needs to show up to Sebring and Silverstone with a LaFerrari or an Enzo....then I wonder what those assholes at Ford will like that....Ferrari is playing to the rule, so is Aston, and as much as I hate the Vettes, they are playing by the rules as well... :oops:
