[edit] Track Name

I added the name of the track so I could create a page for the track. I'll return to try and flesh out this entry some more- this is one of my favorite tracks and races... --- User:Atombaby 5 November 2004


[edit] 2007 Edition

Man, that was a sketchy end to the GT2 race... Fhayashi 02:25, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Noting Porsche RS Spyder as P2 class

I added the class of the Porsche that won the 2008 race. It has since been removed. Now, I know that there's no rule about which class is supposed to win, but as the race was closing down, the TV guys mentioned that if the Porsche won, it would be only the third time in the race's 50+ year history that a car from a class other than the "premier" category has won the race. I think that's significant enough to note, not to belittle the win, but to note the car did something fairly special, beating the bigger cars. Gentgeen (talk) 02:23, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I thought about it when I added the entry, but the fact that three other cars did it seemed to me to make it no necessarily noteworthy. Maybe in the history of the event it could be mentioned, but I wouldn't necessarily put it on the List of Winners itself. Granted, the fact that Audi ran diesels is noted.
