The race was very good.
All the cautions took fuel worries out of the game. The F430's did well against the RSR's...too bad Salo threw it away on the last lap...but that is a trademark of their(Risi's) whole 2008 ALMS season. Penske surprisingly wasn't much of a factor. Nice battling between the Audi drivers...especially in the first laps.

so whats up in the RS Spyder land? The rise of the Acura ARX-01b seems to taken the shine of Porsche's P2 car in ALMS. All 4 Acuras are trading fast laps and such in the last few races where the Penske(even with the new DI engine) is not running up there, and the "dated" Dyson model is sadly a non-factor again....(really feel for those guys, its as if they might've been better to stay with their Lola....now it always feels like they are racing with a hand tied behind their back....).
Any more news with regards to the whereabout of Acura's P1 car, not that they need it for ALMS, but if they were to go for Le Mans....

I thought it was too early for them to start getting smart with their strategy--the cars handled incredibly but were slow on the many long straights. It's rare for them to be so wrong...

I guess that was a steep learning curve for Penske and the new engine.
I bet that won't happen again...they are strategy kings.

I am also guess with the normally aspirated engine like the 3.4 liter P2s, the DI has less of a flexibility compare to the Turbo 3.6 P1 like the R8's. It does make it more drivable and such but since the small motor relies purely on rev, if you don't thrash it you will not be getting the most out of those....

Audi confirmed the fuel reg changes added 4 seconds to their stops. It's safe to assume to bump from 81L to 85L wasn't the main reason for the slower stop.
