A great video shot with a Canon 7D of the American LeMans race at Laguna Seca. The video features some great shots of the GT2 class including the Falken Porsche, Ferrari F-430, and the BMW teams. A well produced quick video featuring the fun and excitement of the ALMS series. If you haven’t been to an event in person, you should make a weekend out of an upcoming ALMS race.
Wolf Henzler was piloting the Falken Tire Porsche 997 GT3 when his passenger side rear wheel just shot off at turn three. It’s a crazy little video and his wheel ends up contacting one of the Corvette factory cars before flying way off track. The Falken Tire team looks much better for 2010 and even lead some of the race.
Falken Tires has decided to purchase a new Porsche for the 2010 season meaning they will get some factory drivers to boot. The car is looking good and we cannot wait until the Long Beach Grand Prix. This test was going on at Sebring when the photos were taken.
Audi was the leader earlier this week saying they would not compete in LMP2 for the American LeMans series and now a shocker is the DHL Porsche RS Spyder team is not returning for 2009 as well. ALMS must be very nervous about their near future when the triple back to back champions are walking out of LMP2 in the American LeMans series. Rumors seem to be circulating that Porsche isn’t done for good with racing, they may just be hunting around to enter a new series. Could be interesting!
