Championship day at PLM................

Several class championships were settled as the American LeMans Series returned to Road Atlanta for the 10th running of the Petit Le Mans, beginning with the closest finish in the race's history, as Audi works driver Allan McNish held off a hard-chargin' Romain Dumas for over an hour, beating him to the checkers by 0.923 seconds......the win gave McNish and co-driver Rinaldo "Dindo" Capello their second consecutive LMP-1 championship and Audi continued their unbeaten ways at PLM.

Meanwhile, Dumas' finish was enough to notch an LMP-2 class victory for him, Timo Bernhard and Patrick Long; for Dumas and Bernhard, the victory was doubly sweet as they clinched the LMP-2 championship in the process..........

Going to the GT-1 category, another championship was settled as Oliver Gavin and Olivier Beretta clinched the GT-1 title, winning the class victory over their Corvette teammates and the new Maserati entries; finally, in GT-2, the championship will have to be settled at Laguna Seca as Jorg Bergmeister, Johannes van Overbeek and Marc Lieb led a 1-2-3-4-5 Porsche rout in class.............top-3 class results from PLM:
