Jorg Bergmeister is not a happy chap but as the other drivers have said
that's racing and you do anything to get that win.

A good start to the ALMS season, some teams have a lot of work to do
while others have surprised themselves and everyone watching. Should be
a good year!

that's Porsche, and to me it looked like a Neckar finish. Kind of a
deliberate punt into the wall, but cheating comes naturally in a Ferrari..

Bergmeister was doing his "face like a slapped arse" routine after the
race - it was *tough* racing between him and Melo but certainly not
unsafe or unfair. JB reminded me of Ralf Schumacher in his petulance.

no he wasn't. when he got inside the ferrari i thought he had it, but the
ferrai muscled back infront.

i liked his radioing the pits to get his team to protest to the stewards.
the steards were 100% correct in saying itwas just racing.



certainly a lot of work on electronics needs to be done.

very early 1980's now works as the AGR transmission engineer with them. He was
an engineer with Teo Fabi's CART Porsche effort as well.

I caught up with what he was doing only recently because we lost touch and met
his brother recently. AGR asked him to work on the Acura project but he said
no. He's not into the travel any more. In fact, he brother said "Alex is sick
of racing, he doesn't even watch it on TV".

His kids are into Karts though.

The guy has forgotten more racing that I have experienced in my days and he's a
young buck, age 44.
