I've had the link to the Lizards Team radio up since the wee small hours of the morning. Its great to get teh complete radio traffic in the back ground and really funny to hear some of the discussions that top level racing teams go through and how close it is to alot of the things i hear people coming up with on TS during a race

What an absolutely fantastic race that was! Unfortunately (for me) Peugeot didn't manage to close on Audi, but I'm satisfied, amazing 17.5 hours in front of my computer watching this event.
From my point of view rain was the biggest factor in Audi's win this year..
Gratz and celebrate huge Audi fans!

after 24 hours was close finish good show
As this should be the last year before i go for real i decided to go for the full 24.
Glad i've done it once but i wouldn't do it again. You spend all night watching the pitlane then by the time the circuit cameras open up again in the morning your shattered and fighting to keep your eyes open even though now there is actually something to watch.

Daniel if you wanna do full 24hrs get loads of energy drinks :thumb:
I was watching on the eurosport player to give me eurosport 1 and 2 through my pc. They had flag to flag coverage so i made full use of it.
Just a shame that in the middle of the night when the action is all happeneing, you only get pit cameras

Albers and Pirro with Audi R10 on pole in LM P1
Emanuele Pirro has captured the LM P1 pole position at Laguna Seca (U.S. state of California) in his last race with the Audi R10 TDI. On Friday, the Italian won the qualifying battle against his team-mate Lucas Luhr.
Team Audi Sport North America’s two Audi R10 TDI prototypes will line-up on the fifth row of the starting grid for the finale of the American Le Mans Series. In unexpected hot conditions, the LM P1 cars had no chance to match the qualifying pace of the lighter LM P2 prototypes. With gaps of 1.1 and 1.7 seconds respectively, Pirro and Luhr qualified ninth and tenth.
Pirro was on a quicker lap when the qualifying session had to be stopped because of a car stuck in the gravel. Luhr was complaining about an understeering car on the slippery track and did not find a clear lap.
Audi had captured the titles in the LM P1 class of the American Le Mans Series already prior the finale. The Audi R10 TDI is undefeated at Laguna Seca so far.
The race starts on Saturday at 2:45 p.m. local time (11:45 p.m. in Germany) and runs over a distance of four hours into the darkness.
Starting driver in the number 1 Audi R10 TDI will be Christijan Albers from the Netherlands who will be competing in his first ever sportscar race at Laguna Seca. Lucas Luhr will be the start driver in the sister car.
Quotes after qualifying at Laguna Seca
Christijan Albers (Audi R10 TDI #1): "The car is not easy to drive, especially on a new track. I have to get used to everything. But there is a good atmosphere in the team and we work together well. I’m going quicker every lap. So I’m quite happy. ‘EP’ did a very good qualifying. I’m excited about tomorrow because this will be my first sports car race in my career and my first rolling start. I’m looking forward to it."
Emanuele Pirro (Audi R10 TDI #1): "It’s been an exciting qualifying which I enjoyed very much. If you need to build a track tailor made for the lighter LM P2 cars you would build a replica of Laguna Seca. We have to do what we can. Our car is well balanced. We know that the R10 TDI will perform a lot better versus the light cars in the race. And the race is long."
Lucas Luhr (Audi R10 TDI #2): "We waited a little bit at the beginning to find a gap. Unfortunately I came out just in traffic which was not good. On top of that I hate understeer – if 100 is bad I had 250. We have to try to improve the car for the race. This will be quite some work."
Marco Werner (Audi R10 TDI #2): "Of course we are not content. Because of the sand the track conditions keep changing from lap to lap. If somebody is running over the kerbs the conditions are getting even worse. Right now, however, we are not happy with the car. We hope it will be cooler tomorrow. This should help us."
Dave Maraj (Team Director Audi Sport North America): "The lap times are close to last year except for the pole setter. It seems that the track was a little bit slower today due to the hot weather."
