[SPOILER]ALMS action at Lime Rock-Sedan over Coupe.[/SPOILER]
So now a four-door sedan is faster than our beloved coupe? Rahal Racing Bimmers (both of them) were being HELD UP by the #4 Corvette!! Whaaaat?? He got a 'blocking' drive-through penalty to boot!! I couldn't believe what I was watching, but the BMW's were faster down the straights and better in the corners as well.
Next lions and zebras will be sleeping next to each other...

They haven't been running long. The winners don't get decided 'til the end, not the beginning. 
And you may want to add [spoiler] tags to that thread title......

The penalty was BS. Not even a warning! Then the 3 car gets taken out by a challenge Porsche... The bad luck continues.

Yea, I know, but they have the same body architecture as the four-doors. it's only a coupe becuase they lengthened the front doors after removing the rears. the Corvette started life as a coupe. that's what I meant.

So now I have to start using the same coping mechanisms I use in college football and basketball for Corvette Racing? I gotta stop watching sports altogether.
Too bad I can't just fool myself in to pulling for whoever's winning.

The Lizards and Bimmers pitted about 35 minutes ago, with 30 minutes to go, I wonder if they'll need to pit again? #4 pitted 15 minutes ago. They may not have to pit again.

I'd like to see LG lose the bad luck. They have been really quick lately only to have a part break or someone wreck them.

i was going to watch the rest tonight.
It doesn't matter how many times you ask people to post ALMS or F1 "spoiler" in the title, it happens every damn race.
