Aston Martin Racing won in GT1 for the second straight season with Patrón Highcroft Racing’s David Brabham crossing the finish line in the No. 009 Aston Martin DBR9. Brabham, Darren Turner and Antonio Garcia beat the factory Corvette Racing Corvette C6.R of Ron Fellows, Jan Magnussen and Johnny O’Connell by a lap. The finishing order was the same as last year with the gap the same as well from 2007. The other works Corvette of Oliver Gavin, Olivier Beretta and Max Papis finished third in class, two laps behind their teammates. Risi Competizione and Audi Sport North America were the biggest winners from the American Le Mans Series at the 76th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Audi scoring its eighth overall victory in nine years at the world’s greatest race and third straight with the Audi R10 TDI. http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/le-mans-audi-aston-risi-the-big-winners-at-le-mans/ I watched and found it rather interesting as usuall. I enjoyed the frantic pit crew in action trying to fix any problems that arose with their cars.
