The challenge, integrated with the series races, and which will debut at this year's Petit Le Mans, and continuing with the entire full season in 2009, emphasizes on targeting the series for "green racing." The ALMS was the first motorsport racing series in North America to be recognized by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the EPA), the United States Department of Energy and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE International) to be recognized as a "Green Racing Series", and these three will take part organizing the challenge. All the teams will be eligible for the Green Challenge. The point system will be the same as the regular ALMS scoring system, but teams start out with the most possible points a team in the ALMS have during the season, and the points are deducted based on the performance of the vehicle. The lowest points at the end of the season would be the Green Challenge season champion.http://www.americanlemans.com/News/Article.aspx?ID=4383 ALMS Official Website: Green Challenge Rules and Regulations Set ALMS 24 June 2008 2008-06-25 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20090122081832/http://www.americanlemans.com/News/Article.aspx?ID=4383 22 January 2009 References 2 Bibliography Machaquereiro John American Le Mans Series Season Yearbook 2008 TPP Publishing Inc. 2009 English 978-0981539010 etal External links American Le Mans Series Category:American Le Mans Series seasons Le Mans Series American Le Mans Series American
