When I tuned in at 2 I saw a replay of the P1 car going inside of a Corvette and then spinning off. The announcers said the Vette was Lou's but didn't indicate anything about what happened.

was it a result of the contact? Or simply a failure of the part?

Heart goes out to LG and the team. Good on ya'll for going there at all.

Here are a bunch of pictures of Lou and the #28 team from yesterday at Sebring. It was a tough day. Lou can explain what actually happened when he gets back home. The car was running so nicely up until the final moment.

How unfortunate, we were all pulling for these guys. Great pics, and the very last one pretty much sums up the disappointment they must have felt.

That last picture was taken just moments after the decision had been made to pull the plug.

Sorry to hear the bad news, the amount of effort it takes to run and than not to be running at the end totally sucks

Sorry to hear about troubles, wish you better luck the rest of the season Lou.

Hi guys,

Full race report later but just to touch on the race issues, we broke a ring and pinion in our EMCO TransAxle.

We might not have kept good enough mileage on the part because it should have made it through the event without any problems. But we might have missed it and it was timed out.
That is what money can buy you. When a part is close to being timed out, you change it.

We may or may not go to St Pete in two weeks. That is still up in the air.

We had a Brazilian driver who was young and had never been to Sebring. Needless to say he was a bit off.

Eric Curran did a great job for us again. He is almost half my age and he will have a great future with some manufacturer.

ALSM Tech did radar trap speeds and we are about 10 kph slow on the long straight. That is about 6.2 mph slow with the new restrictor rules, which is very hard to over come.

So now we have to get these issues worked out before we beat our head against the wall much more.

Thanks for all the support.

Lou Gigliotti

Richard---Great pictures. thanks for the great effort with the camera. Possibly see you in sebring.

It was sad to hear about your day being cut short. I did see a couple of cool video shots with your car. One was the Audi passing your car like it was sitting still. I can't believe the speed differential between the GT2 and LMP1 cars. The other shot was when the Audi ran into your car. It didn't show much. What happened exactly? Was that what caused the rear end to break?

Curran is a stud! Every time I watch him, I'm really impressed. I think that you could have some very good results if you don't have any bad luck with both of you driving.
