Not so PM. I was delighted and totally impressed by the Aston Martin debut. It's great for British fans of sportscar racing - and great for the sport itself. GT1 (GTS) was the race to watch this year and Prodrive had clearly prepared very well indeed. The cars looked great (sadly, they don't sound like an Aston should), were very fast - and the team took advantage of a couple of on-track incidents that befell both Vettes - and that's all part of endurance racing. Their strategy was on-point and they looked to be a very composed, methodical and thorough unit. Their pit work was faultless and there is clearly a lot of drive and enthusiasm (if not money) in the team. It was fantastic to witness it.
I think GM/Pratt & Miller were somewhat taken aback by the on-track performance of the DBR9 and if that causes them to raise their game then that's no bad thing at all.
As a footnote, it was an absolute pleasure to spend some time with some of the contributors to this forum. Phil - many thanks for the baseball cap - All of the Turn 10 crew - thank you for the extremely generous hospitality - JPC, Andy Z, Steve Brown and Rick Cutler - very entertaining - it was a blast to do this race with you guys.
And for the record, Smokie still drinks babies beer - and I don't know what to make of Chris24!
Proper good weekend and no mistake - and you'll all be thrilled to hear that it's raining again!
