Boy, not a lot of cars left for the finish, but barring anything crazy, the Audi should take it once the final pit stop happens.

Yeah... when Audi decided to pass 3 people mid corner (about half way through the race) I sorta figured that they would have the win. Peugeot was battling them the whole time, so kudos to them.

Peugeot threw away the race again. Bourdais had pace on the #2 Audi going into the last stint, had they left him in the car I think it would have been very close. Instead, Montagny had a minor off on his out lap, hurt the car and was running 3-4 seconds per lap slower. What a huge mistake...You could see it in the face of Bourdais after the race, he knew they had a chance with him in the car. Oh well, I'm an Audi fan so I'm happy.

The technology, performance and variety in sports car racing is by far the best of any series. I hope there are enough teams to make a good season in ALMS though.

Sports car racing is where its at... I don't enjoy NASCAR and half the other filth Speed plays. So I hope ALMS gives us a good season and Speed's programming will be more hits than misses.

F1 has also started, so thank god for that... and they did play a quite awesome rally in Newfoundland last weekend.

F1 starts next weekend. We've got a fantasy league if you're interested! http://ff1.seccs.org
