Remnants of Hurricane Ian could affect IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar season finale.
Due to what is expected to be a tropical depression by time Ian reaches North Georgia, it’s only a question of how much rain and how often during the race. Despite the forecast that calls for the storm’s center to reach the vicinity of the track on race day, Rick Humphrey, the director of the Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, said operations are continuing as usual. The gates opened to fans on Tuesday and all pre-race preparations are continuing for the 25th running of the 10-hour race.
In their favor, the Pfaff trio will have the 911’s engine weight over the rear axles working for them and no problem with tire wear. “A balanced car is what a driver is looking for in those kind of driving conditions,” he continued. “As you saw , Michelin makes a rain tire that generates an incredible amount of grip.”
