CarDomain Is Bringing You The American Le Mans!

By Jen Dunnaway

The editorial team is going to be hitting up a handful of the American Le Mans Series races this season, and we couldn’t be more stoked! ALMS pits the hottest cars of some of the most prestigious manufacturers against each other in winding road-course races throughout the country. One of the coolest things about this series is that four different classes of cars compete in each race, leading to some pretty burly battles on track, and sometimes some hairy situations—remember this? But where else can you see production-based Corvettes and Porsches going up against ultra-high-tech Aston Martin or Mazda prototype racers? The competition is fierce, and the absence of a level playing field promotes extreme technological innovation by the race teams. We should be seeing some pretty interesting stuff. First race is Mid-Ohio Raceway, which I’ll be covering next week!

Look me up when you are out here. My wife and I are scheduled to work the grandstands for the Indy race on the 20th so I will be pretty much be in one place for that entire race. We plan on being on site most of the 19th as well to watch the LeMans race. We worked the grandstand at last years LeMans race at Mid-Ohio and it was pretty exciting. My favorite part was a pass that one of the Audi TDI cars made. He passed 4 cars all at once coming into the turn at the end of the straight. It was a cool S manuever that put 2 lapped cars in between him and the 2 cars in his class that he passed at the same time.

I was at Lime Rock Park last year for the ALMS and it was fantastic.
Even watching on TV is a blast.
