| The American |
Le Mans |
Series, fresh |
from |
a competitive |
and successful |
Petit |
Le |
| Mans |
at |
Road |
Atlanta, |
will |
have |
a |
weekend |
off |
before |
the |
GlobalCenter |
Sports |
| Car |
Championships, |
Presented |
by |
Honda, |
at |
Laguna |
Seca |
Raceway |
in |
Monterey, Calif., on Sunday, Oct. 15. |
| Can BMW fight back, |
the race is |
important for the out |
come of the |
championship. |
| Will |
Joerg |
Mueller |
and |
Jan |
Magnussen |
loos |
the |
second |
respectively |
fourth |
position in the championship to Biela & Pirro ? |
| With |
five |
consecutive |
wins, |
Le |
Mans |
winner |
Audi |
has |
impressively |
proven |
the |
| extraordinary qualities |
of |
the |
Audi R8 |
in |
the |
American Le |
Mans |
Series. |
"Now |
we |
| are |
earning |
the |
rewards |
of |
our |
hard |
work. |
But |
we |
will |
keep |
the |
pressure |
on |
for |
| the |
rest |
of |
the |
season, |
because |
nothing |
has |
been |
decided |
yet," |
declares |
team |
| director Reinhold |
Joest. "Our |
wins are |
the |
reward for |
a perfect |
car and |
a |
brilliant |
team." |
| So |
far |
this |
season |
Audi |
has |
clinched |
four |
double |
victories |
in |
the |
American |
Le |
| Mans |
Series. |
Although |
the |
manufacturer´s |
title |
is |
within |
reach, |
and |
the |
Audi |
| pilots have taken |
over the |
points lead in |
the drivers´ |
championship, Dr |
Wolfgang |
| Ullrich, Head of Audi Sport, warns against complacency: "It is, of course, fantastic |
| that we |
are |
leading. But |
you |
cannot |
afford to |
relax |
for one |
moment, |
because |
the |
| competition |
is |
fierce |
and |
the |
season |
doesn´t |
finish |
until |
the |
flag |
drops |
in |
Adelaide." |
| Laguna |
Seca |
will |
see |
14 |
prototypes |
at |
the |
start. |
Compared |
to |
the |
1000 |
mile |
"Petit Le Mans" marathon, this regarded as more of a sprint race. |
| Directions The circuit is located off State Highway 68, 10 miles east of Monterey and 15 miles southwest of Salinas, 120 miles south of San Francisco. |
