Great racing from the first turn through the last turn! And Porsche powered!
Congrats to the two great drivers, Patrick Long and Mike Rockenfeller. These young guys are going to shake up the competition.

What a great race and fantastic finish. I guess the DP line at VIR is anywhere you want it. Amazing watching them go thru the S's at 150 mph. I noticed they were early apexing all over the place and still had the grip/down force to tuck it back in. Oak Tree looked like the were running a continuous arc thru 11 into 12. They appeared to be taking a very early apex just past 11 (not driving it deep) and going about 50-60 mph around 12. I can't wait to see the grand am replay next Saturday.

Are there any replays coming up? I can't believe that I missed it. I love it when they race on tracks that I know.

Ugly little cars that are hard to tell apart other than the paint but I have to say I have been a fan right from the start. Not too polished like F1 or team play like Nascar and almost anything can happen. Things were getting too roughhouse for me last year but they checked that in some and this year has been well worth watching every time.
This race is in the TEVO and locked. watched the end more than once and even knowing the outcome does not diminish the enjoyment. Real yelling at the TV waving you arms stuff. Last 10 laps are textbook race craft and should be used in training classes.
