We ran the data plan out with hi res video 🙂 – we will swap the camera transmitter with more data loaded, around 4pm PST, when Igor goes in, the in car video will resume then.

Did you guys see or hear what happened to the 57 Ginetta? Leading the race with 3hrs to go. Looks like they got into someone and lost the right rear corner of the car.

I was spotting for our final stint driver when it happened, unfortunately I looked away…

We ran super clean operation with no contact or penalties. There were some engine issues during the night, but the car sped up in the morning, and we made up a bunch of positions, passing a competitor right under checkered for 5th in ES and 11th overall.

RB Performance hardware performed as expected, with single set of rotor rings lasting all race and still looking good at the end.

Wow. The right rear quarter is gone. They were able to put the car back together and finish second. Amazing. That is endurance racing. Thanks for the info and pic.

Official press release:

For this year’s #nasa25 Momentary Racing has joined efforts with Lowe Group Racing, and their BMW E36 M3 GTR entry. We are also happy to have our long time supporter RB Performance Brakes, join this effort as well, contributing race-ready and endurance-tested hardware to this ES class entry.

This is the race that tests preparation, resilience and mental toughness of every member of every team that enters. LGR has a long history of successful endurance race entries and in developing some very special race cars here in NorthWest.
5 members of Momentary Racing team are joining the effort this year, in roles ranging from piloting the M3, to realtime video and data telemetry/analytics services. And, of course, being ready to deal with whatever this race throws our way.

We must mention amazing support the team has had from The Ridge Motorsports Park and Motorsport USA. Being able to participate in track testing every mechanical, electrical, electronic and even human component of a race entry like this, has been an amazing experience.
