Default Some uncharacteristic mistakes by Kristensen made it close

Watching Jacques try to hold his tongue in the pits at 23:15 was amusing. He SO wanted to let it rip.

Default Excellent race! Aston Martin beat the Vettes finally! Also an excellent result for Jacques...

Which proves he can still drive at the top with the best of them.

Default I stopped looking at 11ish, how did JV do, I know he was putting down some good times when it

started to rain just before he handed it over to Gene. Did he run decent laps compared to the other Pugs for the rest of the night? What did he have to hold his tongue about?

TIA for filling me in if anyone can.

Default Pugs ran well when the conditions were dry

But they were losing time in the rain to the Audi. IF it wasn't for the rain, the outcome of the race would have been different. Plus TK's car had nine minutes less in the pits compared to Peugeot's, chalk it up to experience.

JV was upset that Minassian vetoed a tire change & stayed with slicks in wet condition

Just realized that the top 6 finishers were all diesels.
