Totally brilliant.

I dodged in and out of the IMSA coverage in between attending the VSCC time trials at Brooklands(what a grand day out for competitors and spectators alike),. some of those onboard camera shots in the appalling conditions were absolutely frightening to watch. Totally agree about Zanardi but top marks to anyone who managed to keep their steed in one piece, it was a no brain decision to bring out the red flag but as to why they took so long making the decision is a mystery. For me the best bit of the weekend was watching the driver of a 100 year old Silver Ghost negotiate the various obstacles on the old start/finish straight at Brooklands with a permanent smile on the drivers face, F1 nah!
