I thought the Ginetta looked good today. LMP qualifying was electric.

I agree. I was watching at turns 2 and 3 - the 908 was amazing, all i can say was "wow".
Nor am i surprized that the Intersport #37 is tenth overall - he was flying thru 2 and 3. he'll be good for about 8 laps until his Dunlops give up.
I love the sound of the Ginetta on overrun.

wow

Scott Sharp is an idiot. How do u not know 1 of the main rules in ALMS??? Any hardcore fan would know that rule... but the driver doesn't? FAIL If it wasn't for his Patron sponsorship he wouldn't be there. Hicroft is all Brahbam.

Bonilla... good job wrecking the car another mediocre driver that should be replaced.

Can't believe Peugeot did a driver change in the first hour of the race. Didn't they learn anything at Le Mans? they got lucky w/ the next safety car.

Why is intersport running 2 half ass cars? Why not concentrate your little buddget, get rid of the old over developed pos Lola, get an old Courage thats still faster and run 1 car. And you won't be an annoyance/joke.

i watched the live feed on ALMS' website. When speed started to broadcast the race again it ended up being like 2 hours of re-rund from the live feed.

Once again inexperience that Peugeot have with regards to their racecraft shone through, however McNish was on a mission and that last 40 minutes was just amazing.

Very poor show from Creation (again), story of the season it seems

That is probably one of the most enjoyable races I have ever been to

peugeot like the french FAIL. i hope next year they can have a dream season.

and to intersport. they're stupid, old, slow driver took out Montagny. I hope the team can't fix the car for laguna seca, i hope they go broke and fold. ALMS shoudn't allow these inexperienced people on track.
