Sheesh! Don't seem to see any American Driver's names there at all! And none of the GT2 BMW's either??? I wonder if this is the same group coming to Laguna Seca this week?

Mike, this was pretty much a "true" FIA only field because the Homestead race fell under the sanctioning of SCCA Pro. The race at Laguna will be a Professional Sports Car (PSR) series race also so you'll see the WSC/GT1/2/3 cars that traditionally run in that series as well as the FIA cars that race at Homestead (some in the same race) .. should be a GREAT show. <p>Have fun .. wish I could be there.<p>Here's the results of today's race (courtesy of Racing Information Systems)<p>Miami-Dade Homestead - RIS - Sunday, October 18, 1998<br>Provisional Results for the<br>FIA GT CHAMPIONSHIP, ROUND 9, <br>MIAMI-DADE HOMESTEAD MOTORSPORTS COMPLEX 500:<p>Ps Ql No Driver Cl Car Laps Notes<br>-- -- -- ------------------------------------------------------- -------<br>1 1 2 Klaus Ludwig GT1 Mercedes CLK LM 141 <br>Ricardo Zonta<br>2 3 8 Uwe Alzen/Jorg Mueller GT1 Porsche 911 GT1 98 141<br>3 4 7 Yannick Dalmas GT1 Porsche 911 GT1 98 140 <br>Allan McNish<br>4 2 1 Bernd Schneider GT1 Mercedes CLK LM 140 <br>Mark Webber<br>5 6 12 Jean-Marc Gounon GT1 Mercedes CLK GTR 140 <br>Marcel Tiemann<br>6 5 3 Eric Bernard GT1 Panoz GTR 139 <br>David Brabham<br>7 8 6 Michael Bartels GT1 Porsche 911 GT1 98 138 <br>Massimiliano Angelelli/Andreas Scheid<br>8 10 51 Olivier Beretta GT2 Chrysler Viper GTS-R 130 <br>Pedro Lamy<br>9 12 56 Claudia Huertgen GT2 Porsche 911 GT2 129 <br>Stephane Ortelli<br>10 9 70 Cor Euser GT2 Marcos LM600 128 <br>Harald Becker/Christian Vann<br>11 13 63 Michael Trunk GT2 Porsche 911 GT2 126 <br>Bernard Mueller<br>12 19 58 Andre Ahrle GT2 Porsche 911 GT2 125 <br>Andrew Pilgrim<br>13 16 81 Wolfgang Kaufman GT2 Porsche 911 GT2 125 <br>Michel Ligonnet<br>14 20 65 Martin Stretton GT2 Porsche 911 GT2 123 <br>Toni Seiler<br>15 23 76 Nigel Smith GT2 Porsche 911 GT2 120<br>Max Cohen Olivar/Andrew Bagnal<br>16 27 61 Klaus Horn GT2 Porsche 911 GT2 120 <br>Mauro Casadei<br>17 24 87 Gerhard Marchner GT2 Porsche 911 GT2 117 <br>Manfred Jurasz/Christian Vogler<br>18 26 86 Jean Luc Chereau GT2 Porsche 911 GT2 113 <br>Jack Leconte<br>19 14 57 Bruno Eichmann GT2 Porsche 911 GT2 98 <br>Mike Hezenmans<br>20 22 71 Menno Schaafsma GT2 Marcos LM600 95 <br>Herman Buurman<br>21 7 11 Christophe Bouchut GT1 Mercedes CLK GTR 95 starter<br>Bernd Maylaender<br>22 11 52 Karl Wendlinger GT2 Chrysler Viper GTS-R 90 rearaxle <br>David Donohue<br>23 25 69 Gerold Ried GT2 Porsche 911 GT2 65 wheel <br>Patrick Vuillaume<br>24 15 53 Ni Amorim GT2 Chrysler Viper GTS-R 46 exhaust<br>Dominic Chappel/John Hugenholtz<br>25 18 66 Franz Konrad GT2 Porsche 911 GT2 21 clutch <br>Jan Lammers<br>26 17 60 Michel Neugarten GT2 Porsche 911 GT2 7 engine <br>Gerd Ruch/Zac Brown<p>Weather Conditions: Race ended under dry,hot,sunny conditions<br>Time of Race : 3:18:51.145 for winning car<br>Margin of Victory : 1:03.234 <br>Fastest Lap : 1:16.495 (167.07 KPH/104.42 MPH) Schneider, Lap 40<br>Track Length : 3.55K (2.21 Miles)<br>RIS/CA Fran Baser <br>
