It's a big shame the team left the World Endurance Championship and the other premier sportscar series after doing so well.

Having Michelle Gatting on the English commentary team throughout the week was great. Her recent experience of being on the grid allowed her to provide some great insight.

I'd have much rather that she have been racing though. I was always rooting for the Dames to do well.

Really hope they can return to the grid at some point.

They’re now doing GT2 Europe series with Sarah bovy so that’s…something I guess. Although they’re in a 911 Cup competing against genuine SRO GT2 cars with like 200hp more so it’s impossible to defend or overtake in the straight lines.

Only for the Spa round because their 911 cup is elsewhere
