ALMS GT1 Championship Possibilities

" In the fight for the driver's championship, Corvette's Oliver Gavin and Olivier Beretta lead Aston Martin's Tomas Enge by 11 points. As long as the No. 4 Corvette C6.R completes 70 percent of the overall winner's total of laps, Gavin and Beretta will win their second straight class championship. If they fail to reach 70 percent, Enge will win the championship as long as he and Darren Turner finish the race. Stephane Sarrazin of Aston Martin and Corvette's Ron Fellows and Johnny O'Connell also remain alive, though barely.
The team championship is a bit simpler. Corvette Racing will clinch the team championship (as will Chevrolet in the manufacturers rank and Michelin in the tire championship) if one of its two cars finishes first or second. If both Corvettes fail to finish and one Aston Martin finishes, the team and auto manufacturers titles will go to Aston Martin and the tire crown to Pirelli.
If both Aston Martins finish 1-2 and at least one of the Corvettes finishes 70 percent of the race the two teams would tie for the championship as both teams would have the same number of wins. The next tiebreaker is the number of eligible runner-ups - simply put, races where the team's best result was second place. "
