Good race so far....quite a few mechanical problems fo the major teams so early in the race.

If the ALMS free stream is bad then try the ESPN Player - (Only £2.99 in the UK) much better than the ALMS stream.
Apart from the silly long yellows this is building up to be a great race.

Pretty solid for me so far even on the higher res version.

Did anyone else catch that quick reference to the URC (Unlimited Racing Championship);

Oh man....I wish they would do something similar in Europe!! Imagine the sound these things will make

[zac510]

We don't need gawdy replicas in Europe, we have the originals still bashing around the circuits!

[Spiritual_Beggar]

It's all happening now!!

That was close call for one of the Audi's.

That on board shot from Capello was pretty hair raising!

Still don't like the sound of the diesels

Just as well you can't hear anything much over the Corvettes & Astons

[MonkeyHanger]

A very informative piece from Mr McNish there

Jeez, the Lotus's are an embarrasment..........

How many trucks does take to remove the wrecked Lotus, what a performance, in England one tractor and about 5 mins, there a whole herd of them and 20 mins?

Good news that ALMS and the ACO have reached agreement about a new contract, looking good for another fantastic season in 2012.

Sound disappeared on the worldwide feed?

[Spiritual_Beggar]

The slowest marshalls.....in the world!

Can't blame the backmarker for that Audi accident this time.

The Audis have been shocking at over taking back markers all season, I wonder if its the closed cockpit or just pressure on them
