Default North American International Auto Show

PORSCHE RS SPYDER, AUDI R8 HIGHLIGHT AMERICAN LE MANS SERIES' PRESENCE AT DETROIT AUTO SHOW

Braselton, Ga. - The American Le Mans Series has been well represented this week at Detroit's North American International Auto Show, with two of its race cars on display for all to see. It is a fitting pairing – a sampling of the world class technology that is prevalent in the Series at one of the world's largest and prestigious auto shows. The American Le Mans Series is the only motorsports body to have multiple cars on display at the show.

The Porsche RS Spyder is one of the prominent attractions for Porsche at the NAIAS. Penske Racing will field two of the LMP2 cars in the 2006 American Le Mans Series, with one participating at the Series' second annual Winter Test on January 23-25 at Sebring International Raceway.

Nearby at Michelin's display area, an Audi R8 in full 2005 24 Hours of Le Mans livery sits in full view for the nearly 800,000 spectators and 6,500 members of the media who are attending this year's show.

More on the NAIAS is available at http://www4.naias.com/ . In addition, Trackbytes.com publisher John Thawley recorded a podcast with Tim Mayer, at http://www.blog.trackbytes.com/trackbytes-podcasts/ which is available for downloading. Mayer also sat down with Racingfanatics.com owner Ken May for an interview, also available on http://www.racingfanatics.com/2006%2...im%20Mayer.htm.

The American Le Mans Series begins its 2006 season with the 54th annual Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. The 12-hour endurance classic is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. EST March 18 at Sebring International Raceway and will be televised on SPEED Channel. American Le Mans Series Radio will have flag-to-flag coverage available at www.americanlemans.com, along with IMSA Live Timing & Scoring.
