The #6 Porsche Spyder has regained the lead in P2. Remember they fell almost 15 laps down in their class earlier in the race and they've come back. Those are some damn fast cars.

Yay there are now 3 running cars behind the Mazda. Slowly climbinh back up but that's only through the GT2 class. Actually if they can do that the whole race they may get back up to where they were before the problem but that was only 15th place.

DAMN awsome pass by the Martin's just now. Just classic racing.. and immediatly following the pass the 'Vette tried to pass but the Martin just put the hammer down and wow... I'm impressed. I definatly can't forget to goto Lime Rock next year. Hmm.. might try to organize a Rx-8 meet/drive for that weekend since usualy Speed World Challenge tags along with the American LeMans series.

I see Mazda is once again back to dominating the slowest car in class category... early in the race it could not even Pass a GT2 Porsche down the back stretch - its time for someone to pull the plug or actually get serious about building a legit car

They are going to announce their plans for next season at Laguna Seca and that will include a new chassis and a new engine program so everything is probably going to change over what they have now.

I'll be at Laguna. Just got the tix yesterday. Hope to get a few good video clips. I'm just glad to see the car competing again!!
Lets hope the changes actually make the Mazda program competitive.

Signed up for On Board Pass at the start of the race. Definitely a God send!!
In car camera of the #8 would've been nice. They did have a camera on the car in a race earlier in the season.

Asont Martin is 1-2 in their class and Corvette is obviously 3-4. The 2nd place AM is a lap ahead of the 3rd place Corvette. They are making a run for it now.

Indeed, a great race. Not much of Vette person but when you compare the price of an Aston to the price of a Vette you just gotta love it!!
