That whole website gallery, is full of really good motorsports photography. That guy has one fun occupation. If you have an hour or two, and like that sort of thing, take the time to look through it.

one of our local guys, silverEIGHT, took this pic of the LMP2 car at last years Petit LeMans here at Road Atlanta. It has been one of my rolling desktop images for months.

how come there was no coverage of the car at the American LeMans Race that aired today on CBS? Were they not running the car?

Yeah I wondered that too. Is it that they run a different class?

I thought they ran in P2, which is the same as the Audi's and Porches... and those 2 cars were covered almost the entire duration of the race.

The car will miss a couple of races as the wreck damage was also to the chassis itself.

The Mazda car runs in P2, with the RS Spyders from Porsche, which compete for the lead overall at some tracks, but the Audi's are in P1. And the Mazda car went hard into a wall at Limerock, not surprising it is missing some time.
