Default Petit Le Mans Post Mortem

A total of 39 cars took the green flag. 26 were running at the end (13 DNFs). There were just 4 cars on the lead lap. The top 6 finishers were in Prototypes.

The highest finishing GTLM car was a BMW-Auberlen (7th) finishing just one-second ahead of the Corvette-Garcia (8th).

The highest finishing GTD was the Audi R8-van der Linde in 16th, 20 laps behind the overall winner.

For those of you who have driven Road Atlanta and are proud of your brilliant 1:45 lap time.... be advised that the prototype driven by Luis Felipe Derani turned a Track Record of 1:12.563.

Considering that his car has 1/3 the weight of a Porsche with twice the H.P. and he had full aero with slicks......

Congrats to him for the record lap time.
