Mid-ohio is Lemans now?

change the title to "Mazda wins ALMS race". A race at Mid-Ohio is slightly different than the 24 hours of LeMans.

Hopefully for them every other car will break like in 91 so they can win at the 24 of Lemans again

... Note that he won by getting stuck in a sand trap and the two cars ahead of him ate a few walls....

But hey, a win is a win (Even if it is by simply being far enough ahead of your compition that even after you crash they cant catch up...).
