Pirelli Wins ALMS Race

The American Le Mans Series (ALMS) season-ending race, the Audi Sports Car Championships at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca was provided an eventful climax to the season. It was a longer event (4 hours instead of the previous 2 hour 45 minute format) and it was a race that finished in darkness for the first time. It even offered up a smattering of rain during the last hour just to keep the teams and tyres on their toes. But through it all, the consistent driving of Clint Field, Robin Liddell and Rick Sutherland resulted in another P2 class victory for the Pirelli-sponsored Intersport Racing Lola/Judd, the sixth in the nine race series for Intersport, the 7th overall P2 class win for Pirelli and a first place for Pirelli in the coveted ALMS Tire Manufacturers’ Championship in P2.
