The Sportsbook.com Atlanta Grand Prix
at Road Atlanta

The 2005 American Le Mans Series (ALMS) has got off to a flying start.  The second round took place at the famous Road Atlanta road racing circuit in Georgia on the weekend of April 14th, 15th and 16th.   It proved to be another venue win for the all-conquering No.1 Champion Racing Audi R8 team led by ex-F1 Grand Prix driver JJ Lehto and Marco Werner.

JJ Lehto posted his 22nd class win in an ALMS race tying the record and also posted his fourth win in a row at Road Atlanta.

Sportsbook.com sponsored the event and also sponsored their own car in the Le Mans Prototype 2 (LMP2) class.   The car, a Mazda powered Courage, was driven by Jamie Bach and Guy Cosmo to a great second in class in only their first outing!  Congratulations to them!

Sportsbook.com called on Angels to supply two teams of hospitality and track girls to help with the event.   The first team worked on-track with the drivers and the second team staffed the Sportsbook.com hospitality marquee.  The Angels team were there on the podium with the winning drivers and the SportsBook.com team - along with a suitable amount of champagne!   One of the Angels team also started a race by dropping the flag!

The event was televised giving great exposure to Sportsbook.com who's name was everywhere on the track and great exposure to the Angels team.  This was also another successful event for Angels who delivered a great team in Atlanta at short notice and yet another example of how Angels can help promotions and hospitality at national and international motorsport events.
