Peugeot Sport je ubedljivo pobedio na završnoj trci ovogodišnje ALMS sezone voženoj na stazi Road Atlanta, dok su rivali iz Audi tima imali neuobičajeno mnogo problema.
Poslednje ovogodišnje pojavljivanje Peugeot 908 HDi FAP prototipa na američkim trkačkim stazama je bilo obeleženo apsolutnom dominacijom i još jednom pobedom na drugoj trci koja se boduje za ovogodišnji Le Mans kup (LMIC).
Prvi su kroz cilj nakon odveženih 1000 milja prošli vozači Franck Montagny, Stephane Sarrazin i Pedro Lamy ispred timskih kolega Marc Gene, Anthony Davidson i Alex Wurz. Na trećem mestu je trku završila posada Audi R15 Allan McNish, Tom Kristensen i Rinaldo Capello, koji su trku završili sa dva kruga zaostatka za vodećima. Audi posada je imala neobičan problem na polovini trke i od tada su žestoko pokušavali da se približe Peugeot posadama, ali bez uspha.
Capello je naime imao problem sa kacigom kojoj se olabavila postava pa zbog toga italijanski vozač nije mogao da vidi što ga je nateralo da neplanirano ode u boks i zbog toga su izgubili ceo krug u odnosu na vodeće Peugeot posade. McNish je nakon trke izjavio da je njegov tim bio u poziciji da se bori i za bolji plasman te da su Audi vozači bili brži u saobraćaju od francuskih kolega, ali da sreća nije bila na njihovoj strani ni ovoga puta.
Šampionsku titulu u sjedinjenoj LMP klasi ALMS takmičenja je osvojila posada Highcroft Racing tima – David Brabham, Simon Pagenaud i Marino Franchitti, koji su delili vozačke dužnosti za volanom Acura ARX 01c prototipa. Najveći rival su im bili vozači CytoSport tima – Klaus Graf, kome su asistirali fabrički vozači Porschea Sascha Maassen i Lucas Luhr. Na žalost Porsche Motorsport odeljenja, Porsche RS Spyder je trku završio kao sedmi zbog problema sa Porsche V8 motorom, kome skoro celim tokom trke nije radio jedan cilindar.
U GT2 klasi dominirali su vozači Risi Competizione tima, koji su u početnom delu trke bili ispred Chevrolet Corvette posade. Na veliku žalost tima iz Teksasa, loša procena je značila da je F430 GT ostao bez goriva na samo tri kruga do kraja trke pa su trku umesto kao pobednici završili kao trećeplasirani. Druga posada Risija je imala problema, ali su im šanse za pobedom praktično nestale kada su kažnjeni sa stop&go kaznom zbog nepravilnosti prilikom odlaska u boks. Osmi u klasi su bili vozači Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid modela, koji je pokazao da ima dovoljno potencijala da naredne sezone postane još realnija budućnost GT takmičenja.
