I've been watching as well. They were leading and running Top 5 most of the day, now 12th and 16th? What happened when coverage switched to Fox Sports Go?

It's exciting what they have been doing in the GT3 class. Also, Novel is competing this season.

Well in the end it looks like they finished 5th and 15th. I think they had podium or win potential as they had 1st and 3rd fastest laps of the race, but it looks like at least one of them had to swap brakes at some point. Not sure how many GTD teams had to do that.

This article shows how things went bad for both teams. 5th wasn't bad in the end.

Great find on the info of the RCF and the issues they had. Hood opening and wrong pit stop can cost big time.

Boomin...your friend's RX7 reminds me of mine, especially the Volk rims. He has a beauty!

Today they race at Mid-Ohio. Yesterday the 3GT Racing RCFs took the front row in qualifying! Hopefully they can pull off a good finish or maybe even a win today! Coverage is on FS2 at 1pm EST.

The #14 RCF won the GTD class by .191 seconds over 2nd place, and the #15 RCF finished in 4th. They ran 1st and 2nd for most of the earlier half of the race.
