For the first time since the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring in March (ADT Champion Racing finished 2nd), the professional sports car racing series will host round two with a two-hour, 45-minute timed event on Sunday, June 27, at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio. <BR> <BR> ADT Champion Racing, which finished third overall at Le Mans and was the highest-finishing team from the ALMS, will seek the overall victory at Mid-Ohio with an Audi R8 Prototype driven by Finland's JJ Lehto and Germany's Marco Werner. Neither has ever driven at Mid-Ohio in a Prototype.<BR> <BR> The American Le Mans Series is returning to Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course after a one-year absence due to scheduling conflicts. The 2.25-mile, 13-turn circuit has been one of the classic road racing venues in North America for many years. CBS Sports will have live coverage of the Mid-Ohio race from 2-4 p.m. (EDT), while MotorsTV will have live flag-to-flag coverage in Europe. <BR> <BR> <B>Marco Werner</B> <BR> "Mid-Ohio is a new track for me. I've heard it's quite twisty with lots of hills and corners so it might suit our competitor's cars more. I know the Dyson Team has tested a lot here so I think it's going to be interesting between our car and their car. We'll find out soon!"<BR> <BR> <B>JJ Lehto</B><BR> "I know this track from when I raced here in 2001 in a BMW M3. I won that race and think I can do the same this weekend in the Audi R8. It's a nice track and I know they've done some surface work to it since I was last here. This is a good track for the Dyson cars, especially since they've recently tested here. It's definitely going to be a tough fight." <BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
