They had quite the battle with the M3's today, I didn't think they were going to come out on top...happy to be proven wrong!

Was crazy good battle late in race then #45 fell back, tires going away?? Actually missed last lap pass.

So how'd they get the upper hand. No ESPN3 replay dammit!

Interested in an update as well... A few months back, my son and I purchased a TON of Flying Lizard gear. We can wear it proud this weekend in Ferrari-infested Park City (lots of 360s and 430s during the summer months around town)...

It appears ESPN2 will have a 2 hour summary telecast today... I'll DVR it - but wish the entire race was available to watch...

Not to mention the Rizi Ferrari who hit Bergmeister twice, once at the top of the corkscrew, and then pushing him into the wall to start the last lap....

It's on ESPN2 this afternoon. Absolutely worth recording....

mikeoR32

Almost forgot about that. I was certain one of them was going to have an off in the corkscrew incident. There was certainly some tight racing yesterday, the prototypes had some good battles, too...

You can get this now. Crazy finish and that Ferrari would have been penalized if not passed while it was fuel starved.

They were guessing BMW Dunlops just weren't good as it cooled down late in the race? Other than that it was really fast all weekend and hard to catch.

Can anyone verify that the att.net account still works for espn3.com? Every time I try to log in now it gives me a message that I am not authorized to view the site... worked as recent as the last ALMS race.

Sad face if they closed that loophole as I have no other access.

Really happy that FL won today but . . .

I gotta say, that recap on espn2 today was f***ing awful. Truly crap broadcasting. I love ALMS and FL but they have got to do something. What makes the "highlight" show seems to be totally random bits of the race. Then they kept going backwards in time to show the significant events. I'd watch ten minutes of racing and they'd say "Let's show you what happened a few laps ago. . . ." I mean WTF??!?!?! Why not just show the race in the same timeline in which it occurs? Why make everything a highlight? Just show it! It would be so much more like you were watching a live race if they would take some care with the order and what they show on track. It's just rushed and **** poorly produced at this point.

Johnny O is a scream to listen to though

CRAP CRAP CRAP!!! They figured out the loop hole!

Screw you espn3! And screw Atherton for this crap contract!

That Ferrari, car #62, as penalyzed 90 seconds apparently after the race for 'avoidable contact' which placed them back to 6th place in the race. I thought they deserved one after the corkscrew bump too.

Well all this contact could make the Petit LeMans race a 12 hour demolition derby....

Congratz to Bergi & Long for well deserved first win but...
ALMS better get their act together for TV coverage...
Its worst than Grand Am!!!

Missed the ESPN 2 telecast and can't find a replay anywhere. Hopefully someone will put it on You Tube.

The Risi guys had a broken nose coming the way they drove, a few guys wanted to throw them off the podium when we staged for the ceremony, it was sweet when they were escorted off by the officials and the penalty served.

Congrats Peter!
