Flying Lizard has just put out a great Year in Review. Now we would add this to our Porsche Christmas list but it is a PDF and its free to read. We are huge Lizard fans and it was spectacular to see them win the ALMS GT2 Championship. With a deep field including the newly entered Corvettes, BMW’s, Ferarri, Ford and more it was no easy task.

Each year we get fan requests to sell our team crew shirts – and now it has become one of the events that mark the season end. In 2009, we created and wore a black polo-style shirt that once again, was the centerpiece of our team uniform. Similar to crew shirts of previous years, these were with us for each and every U.S.-based race as our standard issue. They also traveled to France for the 24 Heures du Mans.

Monterey Review from lastturnclub.com

The Last Turn Clubhouse has a great post-race review on Laguna Seca. It’s another response to great/unfortunate GT2 finish debate.

A Single Class Returns

This race was good in spite of itself. We’ve been pessimistic this season (other than at Sebring and Petit le Mans), frequently pointing out that a thin field exposes a race to the risk of a cruise-to-the checkered flag if just one or two entries is lost. The latter happened, but thankfully, the former did not.

Simon Pagenaud was running away early after a slow prototype got in between the de Ferran Acura ARX-02a and David Brabham’s Patrón Highcroft duplicate machine. Within just a few laps the margin was on the far side of thirty seconds with Brabham’s No. 9 in third. Of course, a full course caution would correct that, if only for a while. Other problems intervened, and the expected challenger finished four laps down. But then the unexpected happened. The race’s fourth – and last – full course caution fell at just about halfway, and when the green was given to the closed-up field, a prototype race at the front was on.
