knighty should be qualifying in the top 5 on the gridknighty should be qualifying in the top 5 on the grid
I heard the driver Webb? say on autosport a car in front of them kicked up some debris, it smashed off a crucial part of their front diffuser, which then in turn did not feed enough air to the side pod, then the engine over heated and blew a head gasket, and the damage was done, it appears Kolles were cough out by one of LeMans freak accidents.

I do feel a bit sorry for them as it appears they had just unlocked their package, I think they set fastest ever LMP1 privateer time in qualifying?......so the package is coming together.......but as usual its just taken too long, it appears they are operating on minimal resources and the car is a bit of a shed in the aero department.

I'm hoping they invest in a decent chassis for next year, either a Perrin or a Ginetta would make the Cosworth-Nissan shine I'm sure, perhaps SMP??....
