Round 8 of the American Le Mans Series held in Mosport racetrack in Ontario went down with the Corvette showing their muscle finishing 1st and 3rd with the Italianos being sandwiched in 2nd place.

The BMW team #90 and 92 qualified 1st and 2nd in their class but this was not their day. They dropped off the pace due to unfortunate circumstances. The #90 finished in 8th place without a rear bumper from an accident it had earlier in the race. The #92 car which was pretty consistent didn’t even finish this race due to mechanical issues. Sucks for the team but credit goes to the winners, especially the Corvettes. This is the team to watch out for.

I’m sure BMW will have a better race for the Round 9 but for now here are select few pics from the race courtesy of speedtv.com.

Towards the latter half of the race, this is the view of the BMW Teams..

These guys all did well, congrats to Corvette. We’ll get you next time.

Here is the official results.
