Have to say I was glad Aston didn't win. How, in what is supposed to be a British team, they only employed one British driver I do not know.  What about Andy Wallace, Perry McArthy, Guy Smith or some up and coming British driver ? I'll cheer them next year when Martin Brundle and Mark Blundell enter a private Aston.  |

Thats the differance between Le Mans and other types of racing. Its the car that is important, the driver is just that, it matters note a jot where he comes from, the national anthem will be british and it will be a british win.
If he is driving a Brit car and he has the pleasure to win he should enter the heart of all British fans; Lammers, Shelby, Nielsen etc, all have a special place in Le Mans History.

Well said Nordic. I even cheered for Johnny Dumfries in 88 and he's a Scotchman!

I am pretty sure his great great grandfather would have been English, and he is a peer so that must count for something.
PS, Can someone change the title of this thread, it bugs the tits of me every time I look at it, chevolette for fucks sake, makes us look like a bunch of div's.

You can edit the subject in each post but only the Smoking Man can change the whole thing.

At least Jag had Andy Wallace & Johnny Dumfries in 1988...but I catch yer drift. The French teams do get much more patriotic though. If I can wade in any deeper  , I would also say the Astons sounded a but dull compared to the Chevrolet Corvettes...just my two pennies. Anyone know what that little light pointing down from the rear right of the Corvette is/was for ? |

Firestarter,
In the name of Janet Street-Porter's inch thick double-walled hymen, will you please amend your typo.

Our best guess was a device to measure speed. |

Firestarter, Jesus lad! Your grammar teacher is going to have a stroke if he or she sees that first post. As for the light on the right rear corner of the Vette, I'm holding out for an explanation from our resident Corvette expert, Matt Harper. They didn't make any mention of it on the Speed Channel coverage that I saw and I don't recall seeing it at Sebring or Mid-Ohio. Anyone want to drop Pratt & Miller a line at www.prattmiller.com and ask? Fax |

Firestarter, I seriously hope for you that it's not the Gimp. You can't be sure these days... |

I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.
