"I was on the podium with the winners"
"But didn't you just say you won?"
"Oh no I mean I didn't win it overall, but I won our competition"
"Ah that's right, you're competing in that secondary class. So okay you won your category, LMP2 was it, but why were you on the podium with the overall winners"
"No I was on the podium with LMP2 winners"
"But you are in LMP2, are you not? So you won LMP2"
"Yes... no..."
"I'm confused"
"It's alright I explained it poorly, I mean I won the gentelemen drivers trophy. You know trophy for best scored genteleman drivers"
"Oh so you beat teams with professional lineups and won because of that?"
"No every team needs to have non-pro-classified driver.. But I beat the other non-pros"
"Okay but still, best genteman driver in the race? That's quite achievement to get"
"Yeah, yeah. Well, best genteleman driver in LMP2, not GTE-AM.
"Right"
"Best non-Silver gentleman driver in LMP2"
"Okay"
"I was competing against three other Bronze-rated guys within our category, it took a lot to win this trophy"
"Sure"
"You see not all teams choose to have Bronze gentlemen drivers in their cars, they instead choose these better Silver gentlemen drivers"
"I can see why racing teams would want to have faster guys"
"Yes but it's not fair to us who have Bronze drivers"
"Oh"
"And you know our Oreca chassis even beat the Aurus and Alpine chassis"
"Those are much faster constructors than yours?"
"Yes. Well it's the same car we all have..."
"What?"
"Different names though"
"Listen Boris..."
"I got a trophy Steve. I paid a lot to get this far. You know my team wouldn't exist without me. And if I don't get a trophy for paying to run a car, what is the point of racing"
"... I'm not sure I want to know the answer for that anymore"

You rock!
