The Race Begins
The view is spectacular from Turn 2
at Sears Point.
Here the field is finishing its pace lap.
First lap, second corner. The Panoz
Twins are as close as they will get.
The Audis begin to pull away already.
A great drive by McNish, followed by
a clean stint from Capello.
Pirro and Biela drove the second car. Neither team missed a beat
all day.
The championship-leading Viper was second
in GTS, but it was impressive
to see the LeMans winners in action.
This Barbour 911 almost caught the BMW
M3 of Stuck/Said.
The second Panoz, which retired early.
I wish the BMW V12 LMR were more competitive
with the Audis.
They sound spectacular.
Looking fresh after over 2 hours of racing, the leading Audi sails
to victory.
