LOL yep, so GT2 winner - BMW or old Ferrari? to close 2 call

GT is too close to call. But I do reckon a Ferrari will win. Which one? Its hard to predict.

Also with this full course caution, has the race brought Highcroft back into it? Very clever strategy by the team and the timing of the pitstop was perfect. Very Happy

But it does depend when the leading Peugeot has to pit of course.

Yea, Pgt still look good for the win, though if its this close for the rest of the year woo hoo Smile

BRAVO ORECA!!!!!!!

YES! Highcroft beats all of the factory diesels on legitimate pace. Nice to see Oreca beat Peugeot too, hope they can repeat that at Le Mans.

Excellent Analysis By Graham Goodwin on why the ACO needs to move fast to ensure that ILMC rounds are broadcast live and that some very tough descions are needed to be undertaken by the ALMS.

Also dont forget opening round of the LMS this weekend, whole race live Sunday with Radio Le Mans Coverage, so flip between BTCC and LMS and thats it Motorsport weekends are back Smile

That was interesting article to read.

I live in California and didn't bother to watch the "highlights" package on ABC, and seems like if I did, I wouldn't have seen it. I've never been a fan of these "highlight packages" on ABC and CBS a few years back. The people they choose to commentate are boring and like mentioned they can't say the names right of most drivers. I don't see how for the hardcore fans, cutting down a 12 hour race into an hour and half show can be justified. I watched all of the 12 hours on the ESPN3 coverage. (Yes Im crazy like that Razz

)
From the article, how the writer portrays how the ALMS is handling this, it seems like Forza. Forget about the people who made your game/race series popular and lets try and reach the people who will might be interested for a while and then become uninterested a few months later and never care about Sports car racing again.

Sorry for my rant, just seems like any company now is looking to make the quick bucks and forget about the "real" fans.
