The American Le Mans Series is making its annual stop to the newly updated Lime Rock Park this weekend.




The car count for this race is a little higher for this race with the addition of the Van Der Steur Radical LMP2 car.

Here is the car count:
LMP1: 5
LMP2: 4
GT1: 0
GT2: 10
GT3 Challenge: 5

Qualifying will be live today on Speedtv.com at 3:30 EST...The race will be live on Speed Channel at 2 EST tommorow.

stream? Goddamn MotorsTV with their delayed coverage, car count looks decent. 9 LMP cars on a short track like this should be a good race.

They really did fuck up the circuit.

Looks like rain may cause havoc in Q. The 92 BMW crashed in practice.

ya

Looking forward to this race. My first live ALMS race since St.Pete last year.

I'm working just 5 minutes up from Lime Rock as we speak and it's killing me to not be there. I was going to go tomorrow but $70 for ticket at the gate?... F that!

I haven't been there since they did the changes but, from what I've seen, I do not like it one bit.

Yep...They really killed it...Especially that final chicane..


All the original turns are still there though, so I guess they could use them if they ever realize how bad the new layout is.

i might have gotten tomorrow off from work and gone up there if last year's field was running the race (i was still considering it until Rocketsports moved their debut to Mid-Ohio). tickets were like $55 last time i went up there for the ALMS. $20 for last week's 24 Hours of LeMons at Stafford and $35 for the NASCAR Camping World East at Lime Rock next month is a better deal than spending $70 to see in person if Ferrari or Porsche wins GT2 tommorow.

Race starts in about 15 minutes.

This is awesome stuff....One gigantic traffic jam.

Just watching these guys work traffic is pretty exciting.

I want someone to wind up in the rain made pond just before the back straight.

The leader Gil de Ferran has damage from one of the Lola Mazda's...The #40 Ford GT left the pits without a right rear tire...Now we have a battle for the lead.

First full course caution because the lead Porsche Challenge car slammed the tire barriers out of the way in the final chicane.

gonna be fun to see if the 2 tire strategy will work here with 20 mins left

Brabham had a flat tire with 10 minutes left from the lead..Pagenaud has the lead now.

#21 Panoz and leading P2 #20 Mazda crash.

EDIT:

The #66 wins LMP1, and Dyson #20 Mazda wins LMP2..First win for a prototype coupe in ALMS.

on the replay you can see that the Panoz spins but the Mazda didn't touch him

De Ferran/Pagenaud win
