ARX-03a, piloted by Klaus Graf and Lucas Luhr, took the checkered flag at the Tequila Patrón
American Le Mans Series race at Long Beach this past weekend under Southern California's typical warm sunny skies. The P1 class team completed 80 laps during the two-hour race, of which 14 were run under caution for a variety of minor incidents.
In P2 class, Scott Sharp and Guy Cosmo won in their
HPD ARX-03b run by Extreme Speed Motorsports. Cosmo took the team's first lead of the race just 14 minutes in, but it was Sharp who recaptured the front position with 47 minutes left on the clock.
The GT class started with the Fast & Furious 6
SRT Viper GTS-R, driven by Marc Goossens and Dominik Farnbacher, on the pole. With only minutes left in the race, leader Farnbacher overshot Turn One and Bill Auberlen, piloting a BMW Team RLL
BMW Z4 GTE with Maxime Martin, took the opportunity to shoot ahead and take the win.
In Prototype Challenge, it was the Core Autosport ORECA FLM09, driven by Colin Braun and Jon Bennett, which earned the win. It was Braun, midway through the race following a restart, who led the pack for five minutes in the V8-powered carbon-fiber Oreca. Lastly, the GT Challenge class was won by a
Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, owned by NGT Motorsport and driven by Sean Edwards and Henrique Cisneros.
