ALMS practice and race thread from Road America

[Ipelm]

Wow, another superb US circuit at Elkhart Lake.

Great coverage online at ESPN3 for practice. If you are watching online recommend superior quality pictures at £5-99 for the whole series rather than the free coverage on the ALMS website.

Really looking forward to the BMW vs Corvette battle in GT; with LMPC having turned into a really competitive and exciting series. Cant see Dison beating the Aston Martin LMP1 definately another great race in prospect, with battles throughout the classes, and joy of joys a 4 hour race. 8.45pm tonight (Sat)

I wish it were possible to subscribe to Motors TV online, I just cant bear to pay ridiculous money for SKY TV which is so grim that I would never watch it.

Last race was streamed online, hope this one will be too.

It'll be streamed on the ALMS website (unless you are in the USA then it'll be blocked and you'll have to look on espn3.com).

I found that the ALMS website streaming kept freezing during the last race which is why I subscribed to ESPN3.

We're on. Stream a bit jumpy so far but hopefully it comes together.

Ugh it's practically unwatchable and it's not my internet

It's watchable for me.

Shouldn't this thread be in the GT Racing section?

Motors is good coverage, just wish Hindhaugh would get his adenoids done. Jeremy Shaw sounds like John Watson.

Not with that fascinating LMP1 battle going on.

Yo! What an exciting finish. Poor old Guy Smith just a tenth of a second on the line! Fantastic to see Risi win GT after so many problems this year,but a great result for BMW for the champoinship.

Endurance racing does it again and produces 4 hours of fascination and excitement.

That race was outstanding and is exactly why I love endurance racing. 4 hours and a 10th on the line. Superb

A special mention needs to go to the 'Move of the Race'. Where did that gap come from. Great racing start to finish. Love it.
