It was on ESPN2 as well. Joerg Bergmeister is unbelievable.

Absolutely incredible last lap. Shades of Laguna until Van Overbeek made his move in this his 100th GT race. Well done....

Race of the year!

Awesome last few laps for FL with Bergmeister behind the wheel........

epic battle at the end! Porsche/Ferrari/Corvette.

great win by Jorg and Pat!

I have a feeling in 20 years they'll be writing books and making documentaries about the current battles in ALMS GT (similar to all the Ford vs Ferrari stuff from the late 60's).

hearing that the 45 has been DQ'd for failing post race tech....

Failed the stall test. The inference being that the engine was getting air from somewhere else ie too much air.

I would bet a bucket of money that something broke or cracked allowing the air in. These cars get the **** beat out of them. Banging on curbs, contact from an old race, vibration. Anything could cause an air leak. I just don't believe that the defacto Porsche factory team is going to cheat.

The Brewmeister

The Lizard website says they have filed an official protest. There is probably little chance the official decision will be overturned. Dang nammit!

GuyIncognito

yep and yep

I don't think it was intentional, and I don't see it being overturned.

see also: Marco Holzer's pole lap at Lime Rock being thrown out for an "unapproved aero modification" when he tore off a piece of the rear diffuser on a curb.

Incredible........

There has to be some accounting for race damage. Some of those cars take the checker literally taped together. They aren't passing any aero test.

It's BS.

Appeal denied unfortunately. One of the most exciting final laps I've watched in a long time.....

That absolutely sucks.

GuyIncognito

wow, that was fast.

I didn't expect the appeal to get them anywhere but to have the appeal denied in what, 4 hours? ouch.
