2011 American Le Mans Series Winter Testing

The week is usually our first glance at new cars, new teams, and new drivers for the upcoming ALMS season.

One of the new additions to the GT grid this year is the new Ferrari 458. It’s beautiful and aggressive looking. Both Risi Competizione and ESM had their new 458s out during the test.

The 458 is a monster at every angle.

Another new GT addition is West Racing’s Lamborghini Gallardo. The new entry brings back more Italian competition to the highly German dominate GT class.

The Georgia based Robertson Racing Ford GT has been a fan favorite underdog and 2011 promises to be yet another large stepping year for the team including a recently announced confirmed entry into the 2011 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The new exciting addition in LMP is the Aston Martin Lola new to the Muscle Milk team. The team recently upgraded to the new car after successfully campaigning a Porsche RS Spyder. The new Lola also offers probably the most beautiful sound out of every car on the grid.
