jna should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
There were public pit lane walks in the WSC days as I have pictures that I took. So why not now?

We all know that F1 would quite happily race behind closed doors with the great unwashed (yes me included if I was at all interested in that industry) viewing on pay tv. Sports car racing must not go down that route. The LMS, ACO or whomsoever is the deciding body must understand that there is a need to 'involve' the fans. Yes, it's fine to have an autograph session, but to many of the paying public at this genre of racing 'the car's the star'.

I was looking forward in particular to a close-up of the Peugeots and felt very disappointed - and I won't let go of the fact that without a shadow of a doubt the arrangements were badly handled by the management on the day.
