Must say that Speed is not really doing its best. Disrupted images, focussing on a Viper and a DBR9 while there is a big fight in LMP2, talking about rain tyres when the battle in GT2 and LMP2 is still going on...come on!

From the sound of the interview with Jon Field, the #30 Intersport Lola may be a write off...

That looked like more than one move to me by Dumas . . .

Or there still is the old Lola-Audi knocking around.

Or if you're Intersport do you use this as an opportunity to look again at the chassis package you're running?

If they're planning to move back down to P2 as the bear has predicted, I'd think they may not bother repairing the car and just look towards 2009.

P2 is getting pretty close!

1. Bernhard/Dumas - 154
2. Brabham/Sharp - 139

The Patron guys picked up 9 points on Penske today! Would be great if the championship came down to the final race.

How did Dumas run out of fuel, didn't he come in for a splash with 2 or 3 laps to go?

Brabham does it again. He just keeps pressure on all the time and never seems to lose his cool. Shame for de Ferren, he was best P2 today and should have won the class.

Drayson-Barwell could go up one or two places because #45 & #71 are being investigated.

Such a contrast to the Formula 1 earlier today. Was such a shame that De Ferran ran out of fuel on last lap but was mega puzzled as to why Dumas had to pit again before the finish(considering he pitted late during the safety car) as well as run out of fuel - so much for all the hype about their direct injection system. Great race and was so greatful to see it live this evening on MotorsTv.

Tv director must have been drunk. Above all the other he managed to miss two passes by Brab (first Maassen and then Fernandez) in just couple of minutes.

I was watching all 5 onboards and the overhead on one monitor and the TV feed on another, and I must say I spent most of the time watching the Acuras, especially Highcroft! Some absolutely tremendous passes.

The season is really heating up, can't wait for Detroit!

Regarding onboards...

http://www.brightcove.tv/channel.jsp...5&firstVideo=0
http://www.brightcove.tv/channel.jsp?channel=1379168851

These are the same videos that show up on alms.com and speedtv.com but much easier to watch on this website.

Scroll back the pages, there are many onboards from previous rounds.

My favourite angle.

ALMS - worldwide leader also in internet coverage

No such luck, only the #71 got a penalty and even then it was only enough to drop them to 4th.

Well if you don't put enough fuel into it the first place, you cant expect to get to the finish.....using any type of engine.
Hype, What Hype!???
