CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Tomas Enge, who was put on probation for his accident at Lime Lock Park in which his Petersen/White Lightning Ferrari took not only himself but the two Risi 430GTs out of contention, was fired mid-way through Saturday’s ALMS Mid- Ohio round after he and Risi driver Mika Salo again got together.
Enge had tapped Salo in the rear in what appeared to be a normal “racing incident,” after which Salo slammed into the side of Enge’s car. Salo was penalized two minutes and Enge five by officials, after which Enge’s contract with Petersen/White Lightning was terminated.

• Alberto Solaroli’s debut of his new Porsche RS Spyder team that had been scheduled for Lime Rock, and then put back again at Mid-Ohio, is now reported to take place at Mosport. Although Solaroli has told members of the news media that he has brought both of the RS Spyders to his Jacksonville headquarters, as of the beginning of July, insiders said only one was in the United States, the other remaining at Porsche’s Weissach test center. Those same insiders are now saying that most likely Solaroli’s program will be aimed at 2008.
