Good heavens, Cocker is throwing down some fast lap times in traffic right now.

NightStalk3r · 22 Aug 2010, 21:26 (Ref:2748612)

Just noticed Olly Gavin got passed Jan, now Bruni has both Corvette's on him.

And now they are both past him

HORNDAWG · 22 Aug 2010, 21:28 (Ref:2748616)

Both just went around him.

L.P.

Get out the way you damn family wagon BMW.

I don't think the P2's can go 20 minutes longer than the P1's can they?

Cocker is only 16 seconds back from the leader, so even if they dont he should make that up easily.

NightStalk3r · 22 Aug 2010, 21:36 (Ref:2748625)

Bruni must have picked up a problem when the Corvette's pushed him off, Guy Cosmo is catching him.

Speedblood · 22 Aug 2010, 21:36 (Ref:2748626)

Cocker is flying, stays green he'll cruise past those in front.

I dont know if he will make it now, he made a mistake and lost 4 seconds and Dyson got back passed.

You make it sound as if the corvettes did something wrong, when really all they did was make a good pass that melo has done multiple times in the last few races.

Speedblood · 22 Aug 2010, 21:43 (Ref:2748632)

This is going to be close....

fiend540 · 22 Aug 2010, 21:51 (Ref:2748637)

Good finish there

Speedblood · 22 Aug 2010, 21:51 (Ref:2748638)

What a fantastic finish!

2) There is only ONE competitive Porsche

3) Risi as won Petit two years in a row

I personally believe Risi win when they have too (Mosport), keep the Porsche behind them the rest of the way. Only BMW could upset things here, but they'll need at least one victory.

3 very strong Ferrari (#61, #62 and #02) vs one Porsche

Do the math. If Risi hadn't won at Mid Ohio (when they had too) then I might agree with you.

BMW and Corvette are going to run interference looking for victories firstly.

This has the Porsche finishing no better than 5th. Kaffer and Salo will not make the mistakes the others have.

So much for you statistics huh

fieldodreams79 · 22 Aug 2010, 21:52 (Ref:2748641)

WHAT A RACE!

Hate to see either Cytosport or Drayson lose that one, but what a finish!

Congrats to Drayson!!

pdxracefan · 22 Aug 2010, 21:53 (Ref:2748642)

Way to go Jonny! Congratulations Drayson racing. What a finish.

Yes and no.

Fantastic race Well done to Cocker, after that mistake at the carousel i thought it was done.

Fantastic Result for #45 not bad for a car that can only finish 5th at best hay dj4monie?
And was that one of the #62's rear gunners protecting them from the Porsche's that overtook Bruni on the last lap and took more championship points away from them??

courageous · 22 Aug 2010, 21:56 (Ref:2748649)

FFS - I am actually on the verge of wanting a boring race, I dont think my blood pressure can cope with the ALMS much longer.

His Lordship seemed quite happy & so he should be.

It went about like I thought. Some much for you and I don't wanna get kicked off here again so I'll let that go. Where did the BMW and the Vettes finish? Excellent pit work got the #45 out ahead of both Vettes and the #62 what's your point?

Melo was clearly faster than Bruni in the car, not sure if they lost the balance or not, they made a chance to the car when Bruni got in it.

Whatever the case I said this was there weakest track.

BMW repeated so I would have won anyway -

The Vettes and #01 got around him. I think there's going to be a discussion after the event. Manufacturer points would have been the same regardless so Cosmo didn't have to pass him.

I take my lumps BMW still won didn't they?
