McNish/Capello in the new Audi R10 took the P1 and overall, #4 vette took GT1 and #3 was 3rd with the AM in between.
I wish these races were on Speed. I'm glad they're making CBS from the standpoint of getting some mainstream exposure, but boy their coverage stinks. 2:30 race, 2hr coverage where they simply lop off 40 minutes of the race in between commercial breaks, and 1/2 the coverage is showing the racers at waterparks and extra-curricular activity... I'd rather watch the racing.

Race was 2:45. So CBS cut 45 minutes off the top. Then with the commercials cut another 40 minutes out. Factor in the BS in the begining and end and you have roughly 70 minutes of actual racing coverage.
I tivo'd it, but I was there live.

But I'll make up for it when I hit Petit in September and laguna in October.
