From a drivers point of view the Le Mans race was always going to be a struggle.For most of us a new circuit and a particularly long one!1 hours practice/qualifying which turned out to be damp and on slicks,and maybe a dozen cars being raced for the first time by their respective drivers.Put all that in the pot there will always be a big difference with the drivers who are familiar with the circuit and or their cars.Watch at a circuit that we all know well and you will see more people "going for it", misfires don't help either!
What we really want is another invitation and have more track time and even more cars, a major shunt would have been a pr disaster.
