With all this F1 talk in here it's easy to forget that there are two sportscar races this weekend.

ALMS this evening go to 'Racehub' for live timing and scoring.

Listen to RLM here

I can't find any TV coverage, even on Justin.tv!

And tomorrow is the first LMS race of the season

Looks like there will be audio on the live timing page.

Eurosport are showing the start (10.15 -11.00 live) a bit more (11.45 - 12.15 live) and then a 30 minute highlights show at 11pm.

Excellent quali at Barcelona.

All British front row and the one on front isn't in a dodgy shade of blue. smile

GINETTA on POLE! and the LMP2 Ginetta only just misses class pole to the Lola-Judd.

Forget Aston, Ginetta on the up!!

More to the point, Ginetta on pole by half a second, plus, he fluffed the pole lap and lost a good half a second braking too late for the hairpin! biggrin

Very good report on Dailysportscar.com

Well worth the annual subscription for fans of proper racing.

Only downside of the lap is that apparently the front left tyre may have a flat spot and they have to race the first stint on the tyres used in quali.

Many thanks for that info. I agree with you about DSC.com.

If one of the tyres is flat spotted then I think one of the drivers is better suited to start the race than the other two wink

I think the team did a great job putting it on pole and I'll be watching/reading the race tomorrow in hope that they get a good result.

I'm a little surprised by the pace, or lack of, of the Audi's. Does it show just how good a team Joest are compared to others? I know Kolles are a new team but the driver line ups are pretty good (apart from Karthikeyan who is sitting it out with busted ribs)

Should be a very good race.
