.... nice to have good drivers, but you did at LRP also. Just keep the cars running and the pit stops organized and it might work this time. Can't win with drivers alone.....

Good luck.

 

Nice driver line-up!

Now make sure you still have brakes at the end!

 

Best of luck Tony! I'll be following this online, as usual...
