shame the british car was 2nd, but still a great result

Prodrive managed 10th overall

Was that a class win then :D ?

Tony

Yep,

Prodrive were first in class I think around 12 laps ahead of a pair of Corvettes.

Originally they were 15 laps ahead but decided to bring the car in for a clean and a check over in the last hour of the race.

Yes, all the staff here at Prodrive are very pleased with the result:cool:, just a shame it wasn't a 1-2.

I wish it had been me testing the 550, but unfortunately they only let me look at them (as long a I promise not to drool too much:D:D) All the testing is carried out by the drivers:(....

Nick.

I was there :D and would like to say the Brits did brilliantly. The Prodrive team for Ferrari, the Bentley boys and of course the British fans. A fantastic year. The weather was superb and couldn't have asked for better.

We managed to be one of the first on the track and the first to the Bentleys to congratulate the drivers in the cars, they loved it.
See you next year ;)

I was fortunate enough to be there on Sunday when Bentley managed a historic one-two finish. The atmosphere at the race was electric - one of the best motorraces I've had the privaledge to attend. Looking forward to going again, probably in a few years.

Congratulations to all those that managed to finish the race, therre was some remarkable driving and even more remarkable work done by the technicians/mechanices/pit crews. The Stryker that lost a wheel, managed to get it back to the pits, fixed, and out running again to the end was very impressive.

The Prodrive result was well deserved, the car seeming to run flawlessly for the whole race.

Hoping to get some photos up on the site at the end of the week, but not before I've caught up on some sleep.


Cheers
Dave
