The ALMS just raced at Laguna Seca for the final time. It was a cracker of a race and we took to Twitter to see how the world saw the race.
Waking up to this, then racing – there are worse ways to live

We agree, your dad is pretty cool. And what a track that will be.

Don’t worry Team Falken, I doubt this car will have a chance of catching the guys on the other side of the fence

I still struggle seeing Grand Am and ALMS promote each other. After reporting on the sport for the best part of a decade, it still is a mind…

Reason number 750 of why sportscars is better than stock cars
What kills me is there’s NO excuse for this race being boring! The cars are fast, they run inches from the wall.. where’s the wow?! #nascar — Steph@MoreFrontWing (@99forever) May 12, 2013
Sportscars are also better than F1 – of course we will bring you a F1 report too
Sod the F1, switched over to watch the #ALMS replay on @motorstv. I like watching us win everything #HPD #YesSon #GetIn — Jason Easton (@lankylegohead) May 12, 2013
The fans were given a great show with the ALMS

Without doubt, the fight at the front was exciting – and Jani does his best to emulate the legendary Alex Zanardi
Line of the race so far: “Jani does the #Zanardi Bounce.” #Corkscrew @mazdaraceway @lxznr #ALMS

It is a shame the Deltawing didn’t make the finish but it did set up a great one
#deltawing stalls with 15mins to go and everyone dumps on it. Go figure.#alms — Kris Ronald Anderson (@4allintents) May 12, 2013
Yeah, yeah it was

Cracking race and great result for the Pickett guys. Great to see them go hard with the Rebellion car
Yessssss @musclemilkrace! Great win! Easily the most thrilling race I’ve ever been to. Great run from Rebellion until the end. #ALMS

Andy Lally is sorry for something? For what we don’t know, can’t be for a bad race. Must be for something else. Possibly for not donating his car to us? Employing us? It is definitely something to do with not giving us something good
I’m sorry. — Andy Lally (@AndyLally) May 12, 2013
After a disaster last time, Level 5 were flawless this time
