The ALMS brought quite a hype to the GTA this past weekend. Along with the fantastic weather and track temperatures, we were fortunate to grab a spot at the Porscheplatz in turn 9 which brought about quite a bit of excitement.
We parked the C2S and made for the pits on day 1. This was a great opportunity to expand on ideas for our personal track car and get a good look at what everyone was fabbing up. I must say the ingenuity we saw was fantastic; the personalization and minor fabrication to kill time on the track really shined over the weekend for some teams.
The touring car race brought some tight competition and some exciting racing. Same for the GT3 Cup series and Prototype Lights.
The big cars took to the track Sunday for the big event. Muscle Milk Prototype (LMP1) dominated the weekend with quickest qualifying lap times, and a 1st place podium finish Sunday night. In the GT class, the BMW team was the favourite, aiming for a hat-trick win after 2 consecutive podium finishes. Unfortunately, the Corvette took this win from both the BMW and factory Porsche team, Flying Lizard.
We’ll see what happens next race!
