Default Petit Le Mans Pix

Had a great time at the Petit Le Mans this weekend with the highlight meeting the Flying Lizard team and grabbing a pic with my car. Patrick related a great story on Mark Lieb not making the race because he couldn't find his passport! Patrick Pilet filled in and did an excellent job in helping the team finish 2nd in the GT Class.

Nice shots, thanks for posting!

Looked like a good race from the hours I was able to catch online yesterday.
Good work by Jorg in the final few laps to take 2nd

Thanks for the pix! I hardly followed ALMS this year because it's never really televised. I hope ALMS does a better job in 2012 with fan involvement.

I'm with you, Mike. Though I like the idea of streaming the race, I really liked watching on TV.

I was there for the entire race yesterday. The turnout was unbelievable, and the weather cooperated. Can't wait until next year, especially with an 11 race schedule. All starts with Sebring on St. Patrick's Day!

Nice pics. We were camped out in 10 and saw the 458 go up in flames. Great race- especially the race between the #45 Flying Lizard car and the M3 during the last 10 laps!
