It Happened!

Overall: It happened and I am so happy. Is it ever good to see it beat! Penske 1-2 at Long Beach. Dyson 3rd a few seconds back. Then Acura, Dyson, and another Acura before Audi. I love it. LMP2 gets the top six spots! Another LMP2 car separated the two Audis. This made my weekend.


GT1: I don't even want to talk about it. This year is so disappointing. This used to be my favorite class, and when there is more than one team on the track it still is.

GT2: Ferrari, Porsche, Ferrari, Porsche, Panoz Ferrari, Porsche, Porsche, Porsche, Panoz, Porsche. How much better could you get? The diversity is what keeps this field so exciting.

But the race was stolen by the Spyders. Audi is so disappointed:


After winning the last nine ALMS races, and the opening Seabring ALMS race in 2006, and Le Mans, the Audi R10 has finally been beat. Soundly. By six cars: four Porsches and two Acuras. All LMP2. We now know their drivers and team are not all robots. Somebody over there is possibly a human. However, this could just be the result of a glitch in programming. Don't get me wrong, the R10 deserves all the respect in the world. It is an excellent car. That is a VAST understatement. However, for fans of racing, it is never good to see a car dominate so powerfully. It gets boring. (Now the Porsche Spyders will probably begin to dominate though.)
