Marc Lieb - Infineon (Sears Point) race

Marc Lieb scored another American Le Mans Series GT podium, this time at 
Infineon (Sears Point) Raceway in Sonoma, Calif., after a caution-charged race. 
Lieb, of Leipzig, Germany, and his co-driver, Romain Dumas of France, finished 
third in class, but were awarded second place when the winning GT car received 
a 42-second penalty after the race.

Dumas started the No. 24 Alex Job Racing Porsche 911 GT3 RSR from the class 
pole position, after a record qualifying lap of one minute 34.244 seconds on 
the 2.53-mile road course. He held the lead until he was spun by another GT car 
and dropped back to fourth in class, just 29 minutes into the two-hour 
45-minute race. He pitted a few minutes later and Lieb took the wheel, regaining 
third place despite damage that reduced the car's downforce. Dumas drove the final 
hour for the pair's third podium finish of the season.

"The whole front was damaged so the downforce on the front was gone. I really 
struggled in fast corners; I picked up so much understeer. In the slow 
corners and the midspeed corners, it was okay and I could catch up to Jörg 
[Bergmeister, driving the No. 23 Porsche], but there was no way to pass him," Lieb said.

"Again, we lost the race in the pit lane with the same mistake we made at the 
last race - we changed drivers the first time. The other guys just made a 
pitstop for fuel. I'm just very disappointed because we're driving one fast lap 
after the other, we're the quickest car out there and we only finished third."
