Great story. Made for a terrific race to watch. Much more fun than Detroits.

OK. I am confused. Did Audi do that to embarrass porsche and the rest of the P2 class or Brabham did it to the P2 class?

It was great to see Acura with the overall win.......I can't wait to see Acura in LMP1 at Sebring. Acura won LMP2 in their debut at Sebring so maybe we'll see the same result in LMP1 in 2009.

Marcel Fassler's Audi R10 was DQed for being underweight at post-race tech.

and it's rumored that corvette will race in GT2 next year.
