Is this the race last year that started with a spinning DP that just meandered back on the track in front of the GT field and flipped a Mazda?

Yeah, that was silly.

Look forward to catching some of this one (if someone fixes my power).


If I rememer correctly, there's nothing all that visually pleasing or spectacular about the track itself but it does seem to provide plenty of opportunity for good racing.

Maybe Mormons fear the number 18 instead of 13 and had thus decided to omit it from their racetrack.

Turn 15 is actually two corners (15/16), pushing the Attitudes (left/right/left) to actually be 17/18/19.

Sorry to say but I can't watch a 7 hour race with a track hardly better looking than Bahrain. :(
However, the shorter circuit did provide more exciting racing for ALMS, higher percentage of fast corners.

I really wish I could watch this race. Hopefully SPEED will be doing an online onboard-pass this weekend.

You really need to get a proper PC to be able to watch TVU on it, man.

Actually, in the next few weeks I should be upgrading to XP. So I will then get to join the rFactor league and watch TVU.

Is anybody watching this race?

You can't be serious? Both ALMS and Grand-Am itself have had much better races throughout the season...

Mexico Grand Am race was awesome :thumbsup: Mosport ALMS was good too. Unfortunately, stream still isn't working, so I can't judge about this one :\
