It promises to be a very exciting race, not as many cars as Monza but that's okay. If you want live timing go to www.rsi-timing.be and remember that Radio LeMans will have qualifying and the race. www.radiolemans.com - I also have a thread with times for qualifying and race - just remember they are +7 hours for those of us in CDT. GO AUDI #1. Let's cheer for Rik for another 1st place win for Aston #59 and Virgo #96 F430. . . oop's don't want to forget the purple Porsche in P2. Carol It's great to see others on here interested in this kind of racing.

I wish they would show these races live on Speed instead of having them as 1/2 hour programs a year after the race has happened (if they show them at all).
I agree. The ALMS/LMS/Le Mans section of Speedtv.com is a big upgrade from last year. http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/lemans-alms/

I went to spa to see the lms race. It was a great event with a great fight between the audi and peugeot. Also very much supercars at the team parking. My images can be found here: http://www.destift.com/2008/05/lms_part1.htm http://www.destift.com/2008/05/lms_part2.htm and al the supercars spotted in the paddock, including a ford gt, ferrari 430 scuderia and a 612 sessante!!: http://www.destift.com/2008/05/lms_part3.htm
Correct, yet another great race. It's too bad the season is so short. I think LeMans is going to be absolutely fantastic this year - especially with three 908's and three R10's again. It was too bad it conflicted with the Historics in Monaco. Glad you enjoyed the event. Sounds like Gimi and Rob had quite the run with Porsche #77. Glad to see #96 Ferrari back on top. Carol
I was there to. I even had a little meeting with Gimmi Bruni before the race in his motorhome. A terrific guy. You can imagine I was very happy to see Virgo take the win with just less ten 2 tenths to spare! It's a great series with lots of very interesting cars.
