When the session finally resumed Tom Kristensen kept Audi ahead until Peugeot made their move with 20 minutes remaining

September 18th, 2011
Stefan Mucke, Adrian Fernandez and Harold Primat gave Aston Martin Racing a boost in what has been a miserable season by winning the American Le Mans Series’ six-hour race at Laguna Seca.

August 21st, 2011
Muscle Milk Lola-Aston Martin duo Klaus Graf and Lucas Luhr inched closer to Dyson’s Guy Smith and Chris Dyson in the American Le Mans Series title race by taking their fourth win of the year in the Road America round.

Luhr and Graf win in Mid-Ohio deluge
August 6th, 2011
Lucas Luhr and Klaus Graf gave the Muscle Milk Lola-Aston squad its second straight ALMS victory as a late deluge caused the race to be halted 15 minutes from the finish. Luhr assumed control of the race with just over an hour to run, jumping the pole-sitting Dyson Lola-Mazda of Guy Smith and Simon Dyson – which had led for much of the race – at a restart before easing away at the head of the field. Luhr then handed over to Graf, who had to survive a huge rainstorm and a spate of safety cars in the final 30 minutes.
Smith gives Dyson Mid Ohio pole
August 5th, 2011
Guy Smith took his third pole position of the season for Saturday’s American Le Mans Series race at Mid Ohio, having delivered on his promise from first practice.
