Dus niet enkel in Spa een overwinning voor een 'kleine' wagen. De Audis zijn te kloppen, zoals je hieronder leest. DeBelgen deden het goed, Theys 3de en Saelens 5de.
ALMS - Infineon Grand Prix of Sonoma - Quick Report
That 675 Win!
Full report on Monday morning - but this was the result that many have been waiting for: a win, and a hard fought, genuine one, by a 675 MG-Lola, that of Butch Leitzinger and James Weaver.
Champion lost a lap with a suspected puncture, and it came down to Weaver versus Werner - and the Englishman passed the Audi and even eased away a touch in the closing laps, as traffic allowed.
Johnny Herbert took third at the last corner, from an aggressive Bill Auberlen in the Doran-Lista Dallara. Panoz were fifth and sixth, the second Dyson car seventh.
GTS was a 1-2 for Corvette Racing, with the Prodrive Ferraris delayed by minor bothers and a minor penalty, while GT changed hands at the post, as Lucas Luhr pipped the racelong leader, the #24 of Timo Bernhard. The Risi Ferrari was a competitive third (Borcheller and Lazzaro).
