Well, impressive show by Audi, they'll take the lead at the start and then be more or less unpassable.
Acura sure seems to have a leg up on Porsche here. I'm predicting an exciting opening stint from Field as well. Outqualifying 3 of the porsches is impressive. With the straightline speed of his P1 car, he should be able to get some good runs down the straights to pass the P2 cars, which won't be able to pass him in the corners. And BK... Perhaps something nice will happen for them in the race? Looks like they had some sort of trouble during qualifying, so hopefully its not reflective of their race pace. |

Is this the first ALMS race this year where the Ferraris have out qualified the Porsches? A one-two, no less! Would have guessed the Porsches to be faster on a fast track!

Nope, Ferrari scored poles at Sebring and Mid Ohio.

Great pole by Lucas Luhr!
And I think you are right, it could be a tough nut to crack for the Acura´s and Porche´s. |

Good ..... be nice to see an Audi win for a change ..... never thought I would hear myself say something like that .
Nothing like being the underdog to make a team popular again . |

A bit O/T !
Does anyone know if the race is being show live either in the UK (can't find it on my TV listing site) or in the USA (Speed is apparently 'tape delayed') ? |

Good chance of rain about half way into the race, should spice things up.

Anyone else having issues with the Radio Web stream? I cannot get it to load in Firefox, Camino or Safari and I'm not a happy camper. I remember this happening during LM at some point and forget what, if anything, I did to fix it...

Thanks for that HORNDAWG, I finally got your link to work, though only in Safari. Confused, I am, but at least I can listen.
T&S is now down though - they better get that fixed before the delayed start! |

Just got the signal to start engines about 10 minutes late. So things should be underway soon. Now if they could only get the live timing up!

Sounds like old Jon Field is up to it again!! Up to third on the first lap. Does anyone do it better for first lap histrionics?
