Thanks for the inside track from Bart, Aysedasi. I honestly do find his response surprising, but don't dispute what you are saying.
What I do know, from speaking to Lotterer at Spa and reading what Jani said over the weekend, is that the P1 non-hybrid drivers were definitely not "sanguine" about the EoT!
Regards the race itself, I feel sure it will be remembered for a long time to come, but for the Toyota/Alonso win, rather than because it was especially enthralling, in my opinion.
Cant wait for next year already! Hoping to be there in person for the first time since 2007, along with 14yr old Son - a newly converted endurance racing fan
