Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Sebring [spoiler]

[JAshburne (JAshburne]

I am a big fan of ALMS and much prefer the general design and performance capabilities of the cars compared to the Rolex sports car series.

 

However it looks as though they need to fiddle more with the formula for diesel power vs. gas powered cars as the LMP1 race was a snooze.  The diesel powered Peugeots ran away from the gas powered Aston Martins.  It's too bad that the Audis weren't at Sebring this year.

 

The GT category is terrific and it was fun seeing some good competitive racing in that class, at least until the Corvettes took themselves out of contention with that bonehead pit calamity, the Flying Lizard Porsche lost three laps after hitting the errant wheel from another Porsche and the BMWs faded.

 

LMP2 was pretty fun but I don't really get the LMPC spec racer category.  Obviously ALMS still is experiencing difficulties in filling up its fields and this is one way to draw more competitors into the series.

 

I hope that ALMS is able to stay afloat.

OK

So a Ferrari wins the 24 hours at Sebring, and nothing but love for
Barney's Testarossa?  Sure its not F1, its cars we would actually be
able to drive one day, or at least a hell of a lot closer.  I have to
say ALMS is really going to be fun to watch this year, with most of the
major marques playing.  Really hard to choose who to root for since I am
a BMW/Ferrari/Corvette fan...  So I really dislike seeing the Porsche's
win I guess :)

Seriously, congrats to Risi.  And I admit watching the Vettes crash into
each other was the awful 3-stooges moment of the entire race.
