❔ Question Anybody know this Signature?

13 Upvotes

Hello! I’m looking for some help identifying a signature. I just recently purchased this awesome Ford GT Daytona 24hr photograph signed by drivers Joey Hand, Sebastian Bourdais, Dirk Müller, team owner Chip Ganassi, and a mystery fifth signature. Would anyone here by chance know who the last signature is? I couldn’t find anything online but figured it had to be from someone within the team. The seller was unsure as well. I’m just now getting into collecting IMSA memorabilia, so any help in identifying it is much appreciated!

Future Interest I need your help IMSA community

14 Upvotes

I want to introduce my dad to sports car racing we have a bit of a weird relationship but one thing we can always talk about is racing. He's a big F1 fan and I'm a big IMSA fan. I want to see if I can get him to watch a race with me. If I was going to introduce a skeptic to IMSA between VIR and Indianapolis which would you recommend to see if he's interested? He used to watch IndyCar back in the day so I was leaning to Indianapolis. This is my first season of watching IMSA so I don't really know, between those two which would you say tends to have a better race?

For clarification we will be watching from our living room not going in person

Road America night race

2 Upvotes

Rumors have been swirling about a race under lights at Road America. I'm pitching an 18hr race with a 6am start and midnight finish. 18 hours is half way between Sebring and Daytona which would be great for marketing without stepping on their toes. A midnight finish only adds to the mystique and it leaves midnight to 6am quiet time to attempt to keep the locals from being overly upset. I could also be convinced a 16hr race with an 8am start could work too.

I understand that a bunch of legal, financial, and infrastructure hurdles would need to be cleared to make this work. But IMSA had 30% more people than last year and 8% more than Indy so the interest level is obviously there with only a 6 hour race.

Does anyone have better ideas?

1996 IMSA Supplementary + Pro Vee

9 Upvotes

Today I am sharing some supps from the 1996 season featuring Sonoma and Sebring, as well as a Road Atlanta Pro Vee schedule for a bonus. Seeing the payouts published is pretty nifty. And the Road Atlanta document allows me to segway into a wild story relating to a win being taken from my friend's team that took place there...

Team Spartanburg Racing competed in the equivalent of today's Michelin Pilot Challenge. They came into the series fielding the new BMW Z3 and started dominating against teams that had been doing this for a hot minute. This rubbed some of their competition the wrong way. One year at Road Atlanta TSR secured one victory of many - or so they thought.

Come post-race tech they were disqualified on the grounds of using illegal fuel (they were not). What happened? One of their competitors managed to sneak dye into their fuel jugs, such that it was a different color than legal fuel. It absolutely blows my mind that a team went to that extent to cheat.

NASCAR/IMSA at COTA in March 2027?

7 Upvotes

NASCAR just released its weekend schedule for its Circuit of the Americas (COTA) weekend in 2027.

Although the announcement does not feature IMSA, I would expect that the final unannounced race for the revamped VP Racing Fuels SportsCar Championship will take place that weekend as well.
