Around 31 cars are expected to be racing by the July races for Lime Rock/Mid-Ohio. It would be tough to win overall, but the 3rd fastest LMP1 machine from the 2007 Le Mans Series will return.

Team Cytosport's Lola B07/10 Judd

(looks similar to team's Lola B06/10 AER but has Michelins, Bilsteins, and Judd V-10 in place of Dunlops, Penskes, and 4.0 liter AER twin-turbo V-8)

Lola B07/10 Judd pictures and info

Speedtv.com is doing a great job of reporting ALMS/LMS/Le Mans news unlike before where weeks might go by without any original news.

Had a short conversation with Alan McNish today in nthe paddock, don't recall if it's been reported here on Rennlist before, but Joest Racing (factory R10 team) will not be in the US for the remainder of the season after the 12 hrs. Didn't have a chance to ask him about it, but is Champion Racing going to step in to their shoes?

A press release says the R10s will race the full 2008 season of eleven races. McNish won't be one of the ALMS drivers but rather an LMS driver.

Hardly served as that Lizard car was F'd up and is basically out of the race.

The karma gods are giving Audi payback with these electrical problems or whatever is causing their braking issues.

Agree, the penalty was ridiculous, it was also funny hearing the commentator talk about Marco Werner pressuring Minassian , Minassian is at a different level...
