Hi rikardo - I'm glad to see another GT/Prototype fan on the forum.  I've followed it for many years.  The most impressive driving I've ever seen in any form of racing was Pedro Rodriguez in a Porsche 917 in the wet at the Brands Hatch BOAC 1000km race in 1970.  I've followed the sport ever since then - loved it when Lancia were racing.  I was at Le Mans in 2013, then Spa for the last 2 years and will be at Le Mans again this June.  I find this form of racing so much more enjoyable than Formula One, and much more relevant to road cars with the diversity of mechanical solutions that Audi, Porsche and Toyota have introduced.
Cheers, Norm Thomas

Hi Norm. I too have been following this type of racing, although only since the mid-Eighties; my first visit to the 24hrs of Le Mans was in 1986. Consequently, I never got to see the Martini LC2s race there, but I did at least see them the year before (1985) at Silverstone for the 1000k. I hope you'll enjoy what's on today and other races from around the globe I'm hoping to post over the coming year. Best regards, Richard.
