As far as I am aware, it has always been in the Aston's diary to do the Petit. Should be one hell of a showdown!! Just hoping I can work it to be there for it!
With regard to the race, the Aston's certainly had the pace over the Corvettes, in the same way that the 'Vette's had it over the Aston's at Sebring. In both races it came down to the fact that these are endurance races. You can lead for the whole race until the last couple of hours and still lose. That's part of what makes it so interesting. I believe at one stage there was 45 seconds between the four cars. Now that's what I call racing!!! The fact that all four categories had rea;l races taking place as well made this, for me, one of the best races I've experienced!
Am I disappointed that the Astons didn't win.....of course, but at the end of the day, you have to hand it to the Yellow machines that they have proven again that their reliability and experience has won the day and they should be congratulated for it!
