"Two of the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship GT Daytona (GTD) teams running Porsche 911 GT Americas at Belle Isle this weekend will be headed to the 24 Hours of Le Mans June 14-15. As previously announced, Patrick Dempsey (Malibu, California), Joe Foster (Atlanta, Georgia) and Patrick Long (Playa del Rey, California) will reunite for the 82nd edition of the French classic, returning to the GTE-AM class with Dempsey Racing-Proton for the second-consecutive year. This June will see the only all-American driver trio in a Porsche 911 RSR built, by regulation, to 2013 specifications. The Dempsey Racing group finished fourth in class a year ago, narrowly missing a podium"

GTLM cars are probably prepping for Le Mans -- which might be the case for some of the missing LMP2 cars too.

Guys, say a prayer for the Turners of Turner Motorsports. They just lost Linda Turner to cancer. So sad.

Lots of action today! Pits, full yellows and position changes, water on track causing spin outs

Was there today. United is a really great show. Quite a few laps under caution, but to be expected at this track. I could listen to the Prototypes come and go down the straights until the ears fail.

Nice win by the Ferrari. Lose some overall perspective watching in person, but the GTD cars looked to be bunched up at the front for most of the race. Lit numbers on the side of the cars indicating position is a nice addition for spectating.
