Nothing like a little rain to make things interesting.

Pretty interesting how much faster the Audi's are then the Peugeot's in the rain.

I think they need 3 Audi's and 3 Peugeot's at Sebring next year.

How about those Prodrive/Aston Martin boys? They should be racing ALMS full time. You have to admit it gets a little lonely racing against your team mates in the ALMS.
Lets go Corvettes!!!!!!

So far, so good....but not sure if I'll stay up through the night, or get 4-5 hrs of sleep then catch the last couple of hrs. Here at the lake, so don't wanna miss out on time w/ the folks (and Dad on Fathers' Day) because I'm in a post-Le Mans coma!

Not enough GT1 coverage.

I conked out around 1-something central, then reawakened just prior to 7 to watch the last hour of the race. Despite having a GT1 battle that was w/in a lap, they basically marveled nonstop for an hour over Minassian's crazy stint on slicks in the rain, and then the Peugeot change to full rains as the track dried. Only way I knew anything about GT1 was from online T&S. You'd think w/ SPEED, an *American* channel, they might pay a little more attention to as popular a marque as the Corvettes, especially when the battle was still ongoing...

Of course, the ALMS coverage has basically been the same, too. It may only be Corvettes in GT1 over here, but they could at least update you from time to time on which one is in front and why... *sigh*
