Bravo Brumos...though I am not a big fan of Grand AM (too Nascar like for me), I enjoyed watching the DPs and the GT3s (Cup cars, not even RSRs) run away from the competition.
Agree on both counts. Juan Pablo spoiled the memory of a great run at 1st place.

And the prototypes are just too ugly. And smell of NASCAR - even the JC France commercial with a NASCAR-type pit fight.

And it was good to see Brumos livery in the winners circle again.

I also had a problem with the coverage. Too much banter. It was like watching the race and having chit-chatters detract. A little is okay, but why not concentrate on battles for positions (not just for 1st), braking points, driving styles and pit strategy?

And the banners running constantly from first to last in several formats were too much. Give me top five in each class on a split screen when there is a change. And then run down the field every 20 or 30 minutes.
