TRG Takes on Roar Before the Historic 24 (via StreetFire)

Porsche Tub Delivery - Clean slate (via TRG)

Entering Round Six of The American Le Mans 2011 season at Road America, TRG held a five point lead in the GTC team championship. This short video chronicles the events that took place.

The team is one of the winningest sportscar teams in American racing history. This year they look to secure their first ever ALMS Championship, but it’s coming down to the wire.

David Donohue follows in father Mark’s footsteps and wins the 24 for Porsche! Awesome battle at the end with Montoya and Barbosa. The last hour and a half were riveting with four prototypes on the lead lap after 22 hours.

Congrats to Brumos Racing on the win in DP and TRG for the GT win.

Settle in, have some breakfast and get ready for eight more hours of racing. Overnight both Michael Shank Racing and Krohn Racing DPs are out. Penske, Brumos, Ganassi, on the lead lap and in contention overall. Farnbacher leads GT and is eighth overall followed by The Racers Group at a mere 1:02 deficit.

Lesson for the night brought to you by the #99 Gainsco team: Never change out hardware (gear cluster) when a sensor will suffice. The driver reported shifting problems so the team set about replacing the entire transmission gear cluster. The work put them many laps down but before they could return to the track they found that they *also* had a problem with a sensor that allows the driver to shift without lifting the throttle. Speculation is that this sensor could have been the problem and that changing the cluster unnecessarily put them further in the hole than they needed to be.
