Tom V should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

  • Panoz tried their new LMP07 which had shown pace at Texas, but it was absolutely thwarted,
But the race had some other noteables, including the debut of the Dallara with Mopar power, the MG-EX257s at the front, the Callaway in GT and the first year of the Bentley.
Exactly I enjoyed the 2001 24H, apart from the jellows ofcourse it was a good race. I was (un)fortunately not at the circuit so on tele it looked more exciting.

But I would probably change my mind if I had been there
