i searched all over the net for 2006-2009 lms and alms races and i only found the recent ones (2009, 2010 24h le mans, and 2009 alms at mid-ohio, few 2010 lms races). Anyone know about any full races or reviews available for download (2006-2009 seasons, lms, alms)?

Marc - I agree with you 100%. I think the 2011 Protoypes will be very ugly with the "Shark Fin" on the back.
We have had Prototypes around for many years and have never needed a device that detracts from the beauty of these cars. The cars went just as fast 10 years ago... if not faster, and we didn't need them back then.
Why screw up a good thing?
The only reason is to stop them going airborne at large yaw angles.
As you can see even cars as modern as the R10 TDI have gone airborne after going sideways. Sometimes twice in the same race! And it you think 908 isn't like that, well I'll have to remind you the Benoit Treluyer accident in a Pescarolo-entered 908 HDI FAP. He went a bit too sideways, the car took off and rolled into something that looked more like a plane crash site.
In a normal situation all you'd have is a prototype stuck in gravel. This case saw an injured driver, a completely destroyed (uninsured!) 908 that was one of the reasons of Pescarolo Sport going bankrupt.
Unfortunately the working group failed to come up with a more elegant solution to the problem than that ugly fin. Hopefully it'll look better after more development. At the moment most 2011 cars look like some builders dropped a door onto the roof and it went through and got stuck...
There were fins in earlier sportscars though. http://www.racingsportscars.com/photo/1983/Brands_Hatch-1983-09-18-022.jpg

It will make its race debut at Sebring in the hands of Risi and Extreme Speed Motorsports.

i'm sure will be fast. Not sure if will be immediately at top level but..i'm sure will be great. What about the Porsche, no news about a possible new RSR version?

I'd love to see a 'new' GT2 car from Porsche based on the 997 R [fat R-se :D ] rather than the current RSR, it looks like a proper wide 911 racer from the 70-80s.
Btw, the 458 Challenge car was unveiled today.

Exactly, i'm totally agree with you. I'd like to see a proper new RSR version, with look similar to GT3 R. I really like it!

Have you seen the (of course fictional) render from jonsibal? That 458 looks winning!

I have a feeling that Corvette Racing will be back with a vengeance next year, they'll be driven by their lack of success this year.
