The annual Long Beach Grand Prix is a week-long party that has a race track wedged in almost as an afterthought. Team trailers scattered all over the place, repair quarters super tight, the racing pits shoehorned into an everyday exit ramp a half mile from trailers - to get from one to the other requires twenty minutes of snaking through fences, paths, and at least two bridges... %&$#@!!

OK, the ALMS race. Though the C6.R's performed like clockwork, this scene is getting a little too predictable: #3 dutifully runs cover a few lengths behind #4 right to the very end, (in this case #4 beating out #3 by .34999999999999999999...th of a second).
What to do? Forget crying about no competition. There IS competition: There's two Vettes out there, right?
Badboy dream: Let's work up some good old brotherly Vette rivalry...
[Paint one car black (#3), the other can remain yellow (#4)]. (Badboy skulls on both of course) Separate the teams (no public fraternizing, etc.) and spank them into a frenzy to go out and kick their respective bro's ass! There. That should liven up things up until Le Mans and beyond!
