| OG Gives A Long Beach Preview | |

| Oliver Gavin gives us a pre-race perspective on this weekend’s 100-minute Long Beach ALMS race. 36 cars will ply the 1.96-mile street course.
"I think there will be a number of challenges for the weekend. Practice is so early on Friday morning, it’s going to be cold, the track will be filthy, and we’ll be running in conditions that will be completely different to how the circuit will be on race day. People might question why you’re out there but all the while you’re there gathering data and the track itself is a lot of fun.”
"There'll be a lot of cars on track, some with drivers who have no experience at Long Beach. So, there’s a strong chance of lots of yellows and reds in each session, and probability of getting caught up in someone else’s accident is high. We will have to be cautious and careful at the same time as being super-competitive so it will be a big challenge."
"For me, it will be quite a strange weekend as I will drive at the start of practice on Friday morning and the next time I will be on the track will be during the race itself. We normally share out the track time pretty equally but, as it’s so limited and Olivier Beretta will be qualifying, he’s going to get the lion’s share." |
