Hello
I agree that the LMS format has obviously taken off and last year provided some really great racing, even if at times it was rather wet!!
Harking back to the Group C period, once Porsche started providing customer 956's and then 962's then Joest, Brun and Richard Lloyd Racing to name some all achieved success with them against "Works" opposition. In recent history I was rather surprised that Audi didn't provide more R8's for customers or perhaps there wasn't a demand for them. I am still of the opinion that the Bernie/Max factor destroyed Group C rather than "Works" teams but perhaps I'm wrong.
Like GT-Eins has posted, the LMS works well and I am looking forward to this season very much. A Creation Autosportif fan in LMP1 and Rollcentre Racing fan in LMP2, both privateers. Mind you if Creation are making their own car.........
