Didnt have much success with them at all . Cant see them going backwards , as the Panoz would be old hat , as well as homologation issues , maybe ?

I thought Boris Said was going to race with them. But David Murry was on the list. Must of been a last min change. Still great result by Robertson Racing.

It should have gotten in, if just the Aston Martin people were smart enough to withdraw and save themselves the humiliation they now so rightly deserve!

Both cars will be at Lime Rock. And yes, Andrea is faster than her husband.

And what I gathered from her interview close to the end of the race at Le Mans on SPEED she wears the pants in the family!

Fixed from the latest MTB:

Robertsons showed the world the resolve they’ve shown in the ALMS over the past half decade. Agree it has been a good idea or not, racing the Ford GT – even with rules help – has taken dedication bordering on stubborn and lots of cash.

When the new Mustang comes out I wonder if Ford might ask the Robertson's to run the cars.

But then I would doubt that would happen.

I was reading an article a few months ago, saying that Ford is going to do another Ford GT. I believe it was around the 2014 year.

It wouldn't surprise me to see the do a new GT with possible engine variations this time, they haven't really had a Corvette type car and GTs with ecoboosted engines could fit that bill. The new Mustang is supposedly out testing a twin turbo V8 which could be a great fit for a range topping model with possibly an ecoboosted V6 to compete more with the base Vette.

Slowly working my way through the Eurosport coverage of Le Mans. Anyone else notice Liz Haliday was less than complimentary about the Robertson's effort. Is there some past beef there that I don't know about?

She basically said they were unworthy of a podium.

Her and Haven basically sounded like they were drunk the entire broadcast, not to mention some other ramblings of theirs, so it wouldnt suprise me.

Liz's been out of the car and her comfort zone for a while now, and I'm afraid it's slowly starting to show... she's clearly not as well informed as back in 2008 when she did her Eurosport debut.

As for her Robertson rants, she was basically just complaining their relatively slow pace, but I doubt she has anything against David and Andrea.

Liz can hardly comment about that , can she . Never very quick and a sad edition to any quick car .

She also likes horses , I suggest she sticks with them .

Robertsons got a podium ..... when did she ever get a podium in top line motorsports , never mind Le Mans ?

LMP2 win and 2nd overall at Sebring in '06 to start with, in the race when the Audi R10 made its debut.

Not sure what that has to do with Robertsons, but if you cannot access RU or Piranha for some strange reason, Eurosport Player has some random footage in their archives (if you are willing to pay the subscription). You might as well check piratebay, Speed TV's coverage has been uploaded there.
