I'd be seriously pissed at you if I had an intentions of watching that race. You might want to edit the title of your thread for those who might not want spoilers

Just got done watching the race. They showed a whole 10mins of the ST class .

And yes If I would have saw this thread before I watched it I would have been a little sad

Yes, but those final 2 laps were good racing. To bad the porsche gave up and all most spoiled the finish.

Hooray for Tivo and Speedsource. My son had soccer games all day today, 8A-3P, (they won all three and he scored 2 goals) and we came home and watched it this afternoon. The last 3-5 minutes was the best but one of the first crashes we saw was..........
you guessed it............


a Silver RX-8. The curse lives on :D

They did not show much of the ST class but those last four laps were very exciting! Congrats to David and Sylvain.

I was amazed how hard it was to pass on that track without making any contact!

That was a great race.

I actually thought the coverage of ST was decent.

Much better than the coverage of Mazda in P2 at Road Atlanta for the ALMS race.

I agree. That was the best coverage of the ST class I have seen so far. Notice though how the coverage dropped off when the RSX and Mini weren't at the front and then came back when the RSX was back in first?

Who else felt horrible seeing that BMW hit that barrier at WOT? Amazing that people walk away from wrecks like those

^^ The guy in the Mini said the BMW got into him. Doesn't make sense since the BMW was on the outside. Looked to me like the Mini just pushed him off the course. You wouldn't think somebody walked away from the wreck after seeing the car.
