This past weekend I watched some fantastic racing at Road Atlanta courtesy of the American Le Mans series. Audis were dicing with Peugeots, Ferraris with Porsches, Porsches with Acuras, and Corvettes with Aston Martins, among other marques.

What made this particular running of Petit Le Mans unique was the debut of something called the Green Challenge. An innovative behavioral incentive program developed jointly by the ALMS, the US Department of Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Society of Automotive Engineers, the Green Challenge allows racing teams to score points for sheer speed and for energy usage and carbon footprint........
