Indeed. Without losing Lamborghin. Who knows on that one. Aston will sound great and will be a instant fan favorite right off the bat at Daytona.

Fingers crossed we can get Mercedes on the GT3 grid too

Doesn't that mean no Lamborghini's though?

***On why the No. 5 car was only given three fresh tires instead of four at its final stop, leaving Campbell vulnerable to attack from Buemi, Diuguid added: “We had more than that left but one of them was heavily used so we didn’t want to put it on the car. On a couple of laps, they were catching us three seconds a lap. We just weren’t in a situation to fight. I don’t think we would have done anything differently.”
I don't think they did everything they could. They were using more tyres than the 12 JOTA pretty much the entire race, not only in they initial phase when they had to push forward. And JOTA was running similar pace while saving tyres at the same time. To quote a Toyota guy, Penske did a pretty bad job. But on the other hand one might say that it was Caddilac that won Toyota the championship by getting DSQ'd in Qatar. I'm sure they wanted to have an impact on the championship but I'm not sure that's how they imagined it to be

Anyone ever been to the Bahrain WEC race in person? If you can get there (which is the trick) it appears that it is a laid back atmosphere where you can really just spend the time to take it the ambience that is hypercars and GT cars.

It's probably not too crowded either

What was the problem on the #7 ? Fuel pump or hydraulic pump ?

I think during the race they said it was the fuel pump.

Fuel pump issue, it happened in a previous race too. Hopefully it's something that they look at over the winter.

The tv director, oh dear the tv director.

In other top level motorsport, the guys in the truck seem capable of realising that now MIGHT NOT be the best moment to cut to a pointless replay or a moody *I want to be a real tv director) shot.

The WEC guys are utterly unaware that this is possible it seems.

I doubt we will, but in the expanding WEC world I hope we can get some directors that use common sense and know how to read a race.

It seems to me that they go into it with a "this is endurance, nothing that happens in the first 7 hours matters, we can do what we want.

Haha I get your point.

It is frustrating, but I think we just have to get used to it sadly, as this seems to be the way modern tv companies want to throw sport at viewers.

I can only imagine how many times Haven and co bite their tongue, Martin used to constantly not bite it during WTCC feeds and I am amazed he kept his job, but it was very funny for fans like me!!
