Pablo Pérez Companc belongs to one of Argentina's mpst rich families.
He ran the Argentine editions of Evo and Octane magazines from 2012 to 2014. He often tours Argentine racetracks with his Pagani Zonda Revolución "Black Minion" and gives gearheads a show. |

His Mercedes has certainly been a good addition to the GTA Sprint field.

No Absolute Racing Bentley on the entry list. I know that they were down to one car since the Lime Rock Park SprintX rounds, but this is somewhat disappointing.

James Davison is now listed alongside Pablo Perez Companc in the #69 Mercedes. Maybe they're splitting the race weekend? http://files.world-challenge.com/eve...-EntryList.pdf

Long entry list in the GTS class, but Jeff Courtney and his Maserati not in it. What happened?

Hm.... A smaller grid than usual in GTS and several no-shows. Repercussions of Irma?

Wow. One of the best races of the year, maybe the very best. Good stuff from Cooper to take the win, but the intense battles for P2-P7 were phenomenal. Alvaro Parente's drive from P7 to P2 was awesome, and Pat Long's steady, fast, podium drive to take the overall championship was brilliant.

What happened to the GTS field. It looks rather small again.

Plus, ANSA coincidentally pulled out of LMP3 on Thursday and no mention of the hurricane. |
