The American Le Mans Series’ official yearbook for 2009 hits the streets just in time for the holiday season.  Produced and published for the third consecutive year by TPP Publishing, the book features 232 pages of full-color photography along with descriptions of each American Le Mans Series championship battle. 

Read how Patrón Highcroft held off its determined sister Acura team of de Ferran Motorsports to win the LMP1 championship … how Lowe’s Fernandez dominated LMP2 despite gallant efforts by BP/Dyson Racing’s Lola-Mazda effort that broke through for wins at Lime Rock Park and Petit Le Mans.

PatrĂłn Highcroft held off its determined sister Acura team of de Ferran Motorsports to win the LMP1 championship

How Corvette transitioned from GT1 to GT2, winning in class for the first time at Mosport … and how Porsche’s Flying Lizard Motorsports team held off the likes of BMW Rahal Letterman Racing Team and the Risi Competizione Ferrari during tough months down the stretch run. 

In addition, read and see how the inaugural year of the GT Challenge class emerged with the first husband-wife championship team – Martin and Melanie Snow – in American Le Mans Series history. 

Learn also how the Series enhanced its position as the Global Leader in Green Racing with the MICHELIN® GREEN X® Challenge, a race-within-a-race competition devised in concert with the U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and SAE International … and what that means for the future of motorsports and transportation industries.

As an added feature, fans can order one of three different covers, each featuring the championship team in LMP1 (Patrón Highcroft), LMP2 (Lowe’s Fernandez) and GT2 (Flying Lizard Motorsports).

The American Le Mans Series is taking advance orders for the 2009 Official American Le Mans Series yearbook with an initial shipment slated for early December.
