Satisfy my curiosity regarding your respective European countries: Here in the States, ALMS gets pretty good coverage, and the Euro-based LMS gets little-to-none, with Speed choosing to broadcast about 2 random events per year, and the picture quality then makes me wonder if they didn't bother to send for the DVD and instead downloaded it off the internet.

How closely can you European fans follow the ALMS? Eurosport?

we get Motors TV on sky and cable, they usually show the ALMS races live or with delayed coverage later on the same day. obviously they use the feed from thye race provided by speed tv or whoever but they also interact with fans through the forum during the race(something bbc should do with f1), the same thing happens for LMS too and i think other live races such as V8 supercars and DTM.
i tend to only be able to follow it through internet sources and magazines such as Autosport.

just looking at some more photo's from the test, that GT2 Aston certainly gets my vote for best looking car and most professional looking GT2 racer out there.
seems only 1 LMP2 made it out for the test, the Lola Mazda of Dyson.

SpeedTV's coverage is absolutely fantastic. From Lee Diffey who is one of the best commentators in motorsport, always a pleasure hearing his voice whether it was WSB, Aussie V8s, endurance racing; fantastic insights from Calvin Fish (NBC should stick him in the booth instead of pitlane) all the way down to Marshall Pruett's insights on the website

just a single Peugeot in testing today, cracked tub is said to be the reason for just a single car.
the Acura's edge a bit closer to the dervs.
