There needs to be another Asian manufacturer in the ALMS

Why not a Hyundai Genesis LMP1 car ?

Any chance something will slide into June? That's a LONG break from July 18 to Aug 8.

Saw the RLR M3 (with BBS wheels) at the Road America ALMS race. I could not walk for awhile...

It would be great to see Toyota and Ferrari come to ALMS. I remember watching the Ferrari 333SP in action as part of some historic Ferrari races supporting the Ferrari Challenge at Road America (back in 2004 or 2005); beautiful car.



I wonder if Toyota has/had a replacement to the infamous GT-One in the works?

The month of June is open so the ALMS teams that received invites to the 24hrs of Le Mans can participate without missing a race at home.

A little heavy on the Lexus! Looking for an account was he? Great people and car shots. I thought the approach of making the background in the pits B&W was especially neat. Good stuff. Any idea what pictures like that typically pay?
