Hmmm -
In no certain order... 1) Last Lap GT2 Battle@Sebring 2) Montoya's victory@Sears Point 3) Petit Le Mans, the entire event 4) Aston Martin Victory@ Le Mans 5) Saleen/Oreca Domination of the LMS 6) 1st Diesel WTCC Victory for Seat 7) Being able to download all the FIA GT Races.... 8) Watching Le Mans via the Internet in Frankfurt, Germany from my failed mission to make the races (kinda glad I didn't, I hate rain) I don't have 10 highlights, darn it |

I enjoyed (again, in no order):
- a Lizard well and truly punting an Audi at the hairpin at Long Beach; - hanging my sodden Canadian flag for Ron Fellows on the last lap at Le Mans (and getting a headlight flash and a big grin in exchange); - the post-race debates over whether the Audi was blocking the Penske Porsche in the waning laps at Laguna Seca. Looking forward to Sebring in March, which begins a whole new set of favourite moments! keke |

I liked the GT battle at Mosport, that is until IMSA goofed a bit. Still the first half of the race was excellent.

Hi!
My favourite moment of 2007 has to be either hearing the Lamborghini going down Hangar Straight in the FIA-GT. Or watching the spectacular 908 speeding around silverstone, and all of the Corvette's i have heard this year, astonishing sounds they made. It has been a very good year with what most of you say about the Sebring GT2 fight, and all those fights pretty much summed 2007 up. I definetly hope that 2008 is also very good, and it's my first time going away from England to watch racing ( Le Mans 24Hours ). Chris. |

My favourite moment of '07 was standing in the pitlane with my camera at the ready for the Friday night qualifying session of the Britcar 24 Hours. It's an event that I really look forward to, and when the cars are first lined up at pit out at dusk, that's the moment I realise what an absolute gem (to quote someone in an earlier post) of an event this is. The level of car prep this year was stunning and to stand where I was and take in the atmosphere was a real pleasure.
I was also at Le Mans this year (my 7th trip) and I'm afraid I was very underwhelmed. Will be giving it a miss this season but will definitely be at Silverstone in September again... |

For me, it was the Aston win at Le Mans, and the whole of the Britcar 24, especially the night. Felt like I had the place to myself!

Forgot to add, the Britcar 24 was my highlight last year, with Le Mans 24 and last lap at Sebring close behind.

Sitting above the start finish line at Le Mans and listening to the works Astons accelerate up the straight. They all seemed to change gear at the same point, I'll never forget that sound.
