Which would make sense since Flying Lizard is dropping back to two cars and FBL wasn't able to put together the funding for its 2nd car. That means there's a tire tech out of a job... Give him to Vici. What a difference TIRES make! Look where they are at and they are for sure a dark horse for podium finish since they have the same 997 everybody else has. As I understand it, they took delivery of a '09 car or has the '08 updated, that's unclear. Dunlop has some work to do, the M3's are close, but they need to find a second or so. I guess Risi is testing privately near Houston instead of making the trip, they have tons of information and since the F430 is largely small changes, I guess they don't feel the need to be here. One more month to go and if everything holds together, Sebring on Speed and WTCC at Curitiba LIVE and in person! My guess is that VICI is using Michelin tires.
