Voices of Mosport

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 07:28:37 -0500

"It's a quick, really, really fast track..."

The only thing American Le Mans Series drivers love more than a fast circuit are two consecutive ones. That's what the field is in for this weekend in Mobil 1 presents the Grand Prix of Mosport at historic Mosport International Raceway. The 2.459-mile, 10-turn circuit rivals Road America - the previous Series stop - as the fastest on the schedule, and the enthusiasm of the Mosport fans makes the Series' only annual Canadian stop one of the highlights of the season.

In His Own Words: Gregory Loles

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 07:18:26 -0500

"We're definitely working on a second car..."

"We're really close." The saying might be overused but not in the case of Farnbacher Loles Racing. The first six races of the American Le Mans Series were more often than not filled with misfortune and just general bad luck - podium finishes at St. Petersburg and Lime Rock not withstanding. Persistence paid off two weeks ago with a well-earned GT2 class victory in its Porsche 911 GT3 RSR at Road America with drivers Dirk Werner, Richard Westbrook and Bryce Miller. Naturally team principal Gregory Loles thinks may serve as a springboard for more good fortune down the road.

The car, prepared in Marc's Swiss workshops, will also be driven by the man who has lent a hand for the long races, his brother, Olivier.

Lausitz 6-Hours - VHC and GT/Tourisme "Trouble in the Air"

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 07:02:29 -0500

As this event does not count towards the Championnat de France Endurance VHC, some teams have preferred to stay on vacation rather than stretch their legs on this superb track. The Challenge Endurance VHC competitors will be racing alongside those in the Challenge Endurance GT/Tourisme. Comparison of the times set by the historic racers shows that the mix will be quite balanced and the thrill of overtaking the more modern carss should add a little spice for those behind the wheels of the classics.
