What a race! Alms 12hr at sebring!
Simply stunning. Brand new car, and destroys the field, all while having no issues. Amazing driving by McNish. Gotta love them Scots. Congrats to Audi for putting out an amazing car, with hardly any testing, and having zero issues. Audi R15 TDI ftw.

I only managed like 7/12 hours. I passed out and took a "race nap" 3 hours into the race, and woke up for the final 4 hours.

Seriously, a 10cyl TDI motor that outperforms the previous R10's 12cyl powerplant. Amazing engineering. Audi has their **** together.

The acuras had some mechanical problems, one of them was 17 laps behind, finished 5th, the other was in the pits for awhile, finished 10th. still not bad for being a brand new car.

Yeah, they did damn well considering it's their first pitch at a P1 car. The thing pulls RIDICULOUS cornering G's. I can't wait to see the Acura during the ALMS season, as it'll be far different from a 12hr endurance race, and the tracks will be more technical, and not so straight-line-speed favoring.
