Muscle Milk CytoSport Wins The Mobil 1 Presents The Grand Prix Of Mosport

The final day the Mobil 1 presents the Grand Prix of Mosport saw a heavy accident on the Mario Andretti straight cause severe damage to the Armco safety barrier bringing out a red flag. The lengthy stoppage essentially brought an early end to the American Le Mans Series race after it was determined that the safety barrier was irreparably damaged.

The pole setting Muscle Milk CytoSport Porsche RS Spyder piloted by Germany's Klaus Graf and Romain Dumas of France held off the Patron Highcroft Racing duo of David Brabham and Simon Pagenaud who still hold the lead in the LMP championship heading into the final round of the season. Sunday's race was Brabham's 100th career start in the American Le Mans Series, only the second driver to reach the feat.

The excitement didn't stop with the racing. A new feature for the 2010 Grand Prix of Mosport, the Action Zone was a huge success. The Action Zone Clubhouse, featuring historic cars and autograph sessions with the Canadian Legends of Mosport which include hall of fame drivers Eppie Wietzes, Bill Brack, Ludwig Heimrath Sr., Craig Hill, Horst Kroll and Ross de St. Croix was packed by race fans all weekend. The concert stage was alive and kicking featuring the like of Shania Twin, Frank Soda and the Carpet Frogs.
