Anyone going to watch?  For obvious reasons, I am a big fan of the C6.R.  But I love watching GT2 class the best.

I will be watching for sure.  All the real racing is finally getting started, F1, ALMS, MotoGP, AMA, IRL; not racer-tainment called NASCAR.  Problem is as soon as the "NASCAR channel" or better known as Speed Channel switches off of any one of these other forms of racing, its is straight to NASCAR.

I couldn't agree more!  I am so looking forward to real racing.  Other than the 24 hours of Daytona, this is the begining of the racing season for me.  I plan on planting myself on the couch this weekend!  What honeydo list?

I am excited to see a racing version of the Ford GT racing stateside.  I am very curious to see how it is going to run.

The Penske Porsche owned ALMS last year.  Their P2 car regularly beat the Audi's P1.  So I wouldn't exactly call it an upset.

Audi will will probably pull the "whosh car" out after this season.  It has had it dominanace for its run, they will just stop running it until they can just put it on top again.

Kind of gives you some respect of what the Corvettes have done, they have stayed on top for a number of years now.  Ferrari tried they left came back with the Austin Martins couldnt do it and left.  Now I think they are back with the Ferrari again and Corvette is still dominating without just giving up and letting the other competition take over.

I am excited to see the Ford GT though and the Cadillacs are back.

Even though I own a Corvette, I am a HUGE Ford fan.  I wish the Ford GT well.  GT2 is going to be awesome!

Hey - at least the Ford GT is still running.  The GT2 Corvette is toast - overheated and is out.

Wow, the Penske Spider is up in front by quite a ways right now.

Last year Audi still got the championship and won the 24 hours, but it wasn't a decimating victory like they got in past years. Porsche is really giving them a run for the money.

The Peuguot 908 is having a lot of reliability problems aparently.

If Porsche wins this race in a lmp2 car, Audi is gonna have to go back to the drawing board on their car. Or the ALMS is gonna have to look at the restrictions put on LMP1 cars. Because I know they're put a lot on them since the 2006 series.

Argeed - the top 5 cars right now are all LMP2.  Something's not right.

BTW, the Ford GT just bit the dust.  An accident just ended their night.

Yeah I know, I'm sitting on my couch with my laptop right now. :P

The first place audi did a brake rotor change that took it down 3 laps, how it's going to come back from that I have no idea.
