9 real contenders in GT PRO, 10 if you count Rob Bell and James Walker.

At 99p, I think you have the last laugh on this one. I suspect Ayse and I will be tucking into a bacon roll trackside for which we will probably have paid many times that amount. Then again, you can't put a price on location, can you.

Milton Keynes Ikea, just off the A5???
Sad if the Ant Davidson news is accurate. How much was that kid paid to sabotage him? |

In Moto GP this year, some riders have broken collar bones and were back on a bike racing in a week or two.
But we have to remember this fact--the cornering abilities of these cars. Because of the downforce they make and the fact that they have four very wide tires instead of two narrow ones, the cornering abilities of these cars and the resulting loads on man and machine are hellish compared to to a bike. If Ant is done for the season, it wouldn't surprise me if it's at least in part down to this being down to car vs bike and the relative cornering forces posing a risk of aggravating that injury. |

I thought it was strange to count JMW out of ANYTHING in an LMS GT race...
They seem to have encountered some appalling luck this year. |

The plus was not to be that detrimental towards them. They've won at Paul Ricard but since then, as Tim mentioned, horrible luck. And it seems to have accompanied Rob in his other adventures with the F458 throughout the year.
But I've always been a fan of JMW since they're simply different so you'd hope their bad luck will end at home. And something I was trying to look up on: James Walker's career so far? I guess this is his first year in GTs? I couldn't find much about him anywhere. |

All three days for me, waving flags as usual. If you see a marshal in a hat like

It will be the new Wing. No one uses the old pits now, apart from Clubby types.
