    On Speed now - glad to see Risi back into the event today after the major crash yesterday that resulted in apparently cutting apart a "former" winning 430 to become part of the one currently running.

    Jon Field is like a rocket right now on the back end of deFerran - this is some kind of race between those two (as always for Jon). Possible broken front splitter for Field...he goes like stink and then bang - new nose... losing some laps....

    Corvette, corvette, BMW - Lizard #45 is in 5th, it needs to be higher - trouble with #92 BMW - Jaime up into 5th now......go Risi..

    This race is making the Spa F1 race look like kid's play!!! GT2 battle is absolutely fantastic. 60 degree weather, intermittent rain, dark clouds - this should have been Spa today.

    Where are the Ferrari fans today??? apparently no one cares about sportscar racing which is taking place right now....this GT2 race is the best of late and Mosport is providing some changable conditions for the drivers

    FERRARI INTO THE LEAD AGAIN - thank goodness for Hindy on Radio Lemans as Speed is not showing some of the best racing....

    GO RISI

    I was watching the race on TV (SPEED). Fantastic battles and a great result for the Risi boys considering where they started.

    Interesting to see the Risi team running with the Ferrari of Ontario logo on the doors for the Mosport race. They need two cars running like the Corvette team has. Very close racing in GT2 but the Ferrari seems to be a bit of a handful for the drivers compared to the more stable Corvette. O Gavin even saved the Corvette when he was driving on the grass!

    Been a busy week so I just caught up with this and the F1 race. Very good ending with the Vette and Risi. That was some of the best racing I've seen since the beginning of the 24hrs of the 'Ring race.

    Sorry we weren't here to follow it with ya, Carol! :)

    No kidding, that was the best ALMS race so far! You'll have to catch up with us at Petit next year. The Audi hospitality for Petit sold out in less than 8 hours of coming on line...plan on it next year (of course dependent if Audi shows up). I think the Audi Club hospitality at Turn 5 at Laguna hasn't sold out yet!!!

    Guess it was three years ago at Mosport and other races, Remo Ferri (Ferrari of Ontario President) supported Risi...also remember seeing the R. Ferri Competizione transporters - looks like now he's more involved with the Ferrari Challenge.
