Thread: ALMS Long Beach 2008

GREAT RACING!! The LMP1 Audis and the LMP2 Porsches battled it out again. Great racing down to the end. The Porsches led from the start taking a 1-2 for much of the race. The Audis were not far behind though. There was also a great battle in the GT2 series with the Flying Lizards Porsches and the Tafel F430. The Tafel F430 was able to get in front of the Porsche teammates and held right to the end getting the 2nd win in a row. That was a CLOSE fight down to the line. The Porsche was so close to taking the lead. Now, back to LMP1. The Audis pulled 2 completely different pit stop strats. for the 2 cars. The announcers were baffled and talking like it was a screwup.....WRONG!! The Audis managed to climb up in to the lead taking a 1-2 overall over the Penske team. They ended up wining both in class and overall. Then in LMP2 the Patron Acura managed to pull out and pass the Penske team taking P1 in class.

Overall some great racing. I'm starting to like this more than my F1.
