ALMS - Long Beach - SPOILER!!!
 
== SPOILER ==


I am still watching the race, about an hour behind live schedule, but it really broke my heart the way #45 Flying Lizard got out :-((

It was shaping up to be fantastic street race between the Porsche/BMW/Corvettes with my favorite driver P. Long leading in my favorite car, 3RSR, and the Patron F430 starts racing them to avoid getting a lap down after his pit stop :beatinghead:

You have to hand it to P. Long though, he did own up to his mistake and admitted it was pretty much due to frustration having to deal with S. Sharp with the Bimmer on his bumper.

Oh well... On to the next race.

Btw, the F458s don't seem to be competitive at this time, anyone has any insight into it? Rule book issue, or something else? Granted it is their development year, but I thought they would be a little more competitive than they are right now.

Also, the GTC class seems to be on the light side with handful entries; this being Long Beach, I would have thought they would be full force in the race.

It always amazes me how fast they are on the street circuits surrounded by walls and no run offs!

And just now (well, an hour behind still) S. Sharp just lost it and hit the wall, out of the race. This is amazing!

Phenomenal! And how close they come to the walls, lap after lap.

Woww, the closer it gets to the end of the race, 5 mins to go, more and more accidents within classes. One of the TRG GTC cars just got hurt bad now :eek:

Well with the attrition, the F458 came in 3rd ahead of F430s, that seems like progress I guess. We'll see how the season goes...
