Adelaide, Australia -- The "race of a thousand years" lived up to its name: Spectacular action on the difficult street circuit in Adelaide and ultimately a dominant victory for the Audi R8 sporting a crocodile design turned the final of the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) in front of about 150,000 spectators into a real highlight of the season. After turbulent 5:45 hours, Rinaldo Capello and Allan McNish won with a margin of 21 laps. The companion Audi R8 of Frank Biela and Emanuele Pirro achieved sixth place in the prototype category following a crash.
