Default Porsches at their best - ALMS, Laguna Seca, May 2010

SPOILER NOTICE: Do not read this thread if you do not want to learn the result.


I stopped by Laguna Seca on Friday to watch practice/qualifying for the 6-hour ALMS race. It was a lot of fun.

PCA/PCNA had a Porscheplatz and organized talks given by various Porsche teams. I attended the Flying Lizards talk given By pat Long and Joerg Bergmeister and team management. They were very open and upfront and were available for one-on-one discussions and photo ops.

Below are some of the photos I shot for your enjoyment:















The two contenders:

Great pictures! I've just finished watching the race online, great racing...

Suggestion, put 'spoiler' on the title or someone will b*tch at you, although not sure if you can watch in on regular tv or online after it finished...

I'm up here now! The Friday practice was very good, indeed. The race today was hampered by too many full-course yellows that lasted way too long and bunched the field too many times. And it was cool and windy. Not your ideal weekend outdoors. Fun anyhow.

Great pics Tony! It was cool and breezy in San Jose on Friday, so to REBor8's point, I would imagine the gusts must have created interesting conditions at LS. Thanks for sharing.

Rick,

I would say that your sig pic is perfection, other than the lack of Italian colors on her! haha
Forza Azzuri!
