    There is NO TV coverage in the USA. It is taped and shown in Canada though. There is no USA feed.

    Sorry :frown5:

    There will be live online timing and scoring at GRAND-AM Road Racing - Official Web Site

    To bad Speed is so NASCAR

    really, this type of racing has cars so much closer to what we can buy and drive. While they are far from street cars, many start with a street car... Can't say that about a lot of racing series.

    Anyway, Maybe Nate can find a copy on line and post it like Top Gear....

    And good luck Randy!

    GP3R results

    Official Results Link: Results

    GA Press release Link: Trinkler, Smalley Win Again in ST

    The 198 won the race. It also ran the fast Lap of the race @ 114.765. Great driving by Owen and good pit strategy ruled the day. We fueled the car and swapped tires with 40 minutes to go. The advantage of fresh tires assured the Win.

    There was a threat from the 26 Mazda with 15 minutes to go but he tangled with VJ in the 197 who was in the process of regaining a lost lap from a prior flat tire.

    The 198 has raced three times in 2010 . . . 3rd in Miami, 1st in New Jersey, 1st in Trois Rivieres.

    197 placed 9th after an incident late in the race with one of the Freedom Mazdas. The 197 also suffered a flat tire when it ran over some debris.

    So cool Randy!

    Now copy all that secret sauce to the other cars and really start eating the competition. Only one race left this season? Next season should be really fun....

    Awesome results, great win.

    How about some camcorder coverage? Mobile phone video? Maybe a sketch?

    Awesome, thanks a bunch. I have not even viewed them yet, but I know it will be fun.
    Congrats again, and as far as series point, if this season was just a few races longer......

    Damn, next year is going to be fun. :D

    Too bad about the contact...

    looks like the Miata just had no clue there was a car there.

    Hard to tell from the vid's, but to me it looked like it was a rather bold attempt to pass. Wasn't nearly close enough for the Mazda to have conceded the corner.

    Not sure who's at fault. The Mazda didn't defend the line at all, but I'm not sure the MINI had 3/4 car length, either.
