I sort of wanted to post some photos from an event that I went to at Mid-Ohio in 2008 before the Indy Car race that year that IMSA put on for the then American Le Mans Series (now Weathertech Sportscar Series). I sort of got a hair to do this because I managed to digitize a DVD that I thought was broken or corrupt for 15 years LOL, since it wouldn't work on the DVD player I had back then.
First, some misc. cars that took part in that race.
Mazda showcar that was later converted into the Furai protoype that was written off after a Top Gear test.
Actual Mazda-powered Lola that raced the previous day.
Penske Racing Porsche RS Spyder: Winner LMP2, third overall
Audi R10 show car
Ferrari F430 GT2
Corvette C6R GT1, second place finisher in GT1 (teammate was class winner)
Porsche 911 GT3 RSR GT2 car.
And what I really came to Mid Ohio for that day, not one but two Audi R10 LMP1 cars, that finished 1-2 in class and overall. Champion Racing/Audi Sport North America was the only multi-car team that ran in the race that had both cars that raced the previous day out before a downpour came.
Audi R10 #2, OA/LMP1 winner
#1 Audi R10, 2nd OA/LMP1
Almost everyone else's view for most of the race after about 15 minutes in until the finish.
If there's interest, I can post more photos later, including some R10 tech/detail photos.
