| OG Gives A Long Beach Preview | |

| Oliver Gavin gives us a pre-race perspective on this weekend�s 100-minute Long Beach ALMS race. 36 cars will ply the 1.96-mile street course.
"I think there will be a number of challenges for the weekend. Practice is so early on Friday morning, it�s going to be cold, the track will be filthy, and we�ll be running in conditions that will be completely different to how the circuit will be on race day. People might question why you�re out there but all the while you�re there gathering data and the track itself is a lot of fun.�
"There'll be a lot of cars on track, some with drivers who have no experience at Long Beach. So, there�s a strong chance of lots of yellows and reds in each session, and probability of getting caught up in someone else�s accident is high. We will have to be cautious and careful at the same time as being super-competitive so it will be a big challenge."
"For me, it will be quite a strange weekend as I will drive at the start of practice on Friday morning and the next time I will be on the track will be during the race itself. We normally share out the track time pretty equally but, as it�s so limited and Olivier Beretta will be qualifying, he�s going to get the lion�s share." |
