The Jarama’s organizers were very lucky to have a LMS race and they lost a big opportunity.

We’ll see, in Valencia Spanish have four drivers to cheer, and one of them drive for Peugeot and can win the race. If Cheste´s organizers have worked hard and have promote the race, they’ll have crowds of people.

And I hope my fellow countrymen realized they’re lucky to have a LMS race in Spain, a country without any endurance racing culture.

Muy cierto! Jarama last year had very low attendance but it was better than Spa or the Nuerburgring... Then I saw a picture of Spanish GT and the stands were packed. I know Spain is more of a bike culture but hopefully we can revert that ;-)
