ALMS overload!!!
Topping off a fantastic week of LIVE motorsport on Motors TV is Round 4 of the American Le Mans Series from Houston, Texas. Last years ALMS debut on the street circuit proved to be a huge success and the switch of this season’s race to a night-time event is set to enhance the entertainment further. The attrition rate was high in 2006, with a GT1 Corvette finishing second overall following reliability problems for the prototype runners, so expect one or two surprises on the podium.
