Here in Portugal there a very small interest in the Le Mans Series, even if a Portuguese driver (Pedro Lamy) is preparing himself to be the next LMP1 Champion (if nothing happens in Interlagos), but, the few who follow the championship, believes that it´s probably some egoistic thing on Amaral, because he is the car owner and if hi doesn’t race in Brazil and the team wins the championship, we won’t be champion as well…

Well…it’s only what the fans think…

The issue is they cannot be champions anyway!!! I do not think Amaral or the team can be motivated knowing that.
