However, none of the crew members, drivers, or team owner/Jaguar cars owner Bill Lyons protested, Lyons saying that if he were to beat Ferrari, it would be on the race track, not because of a rules violation.
Doubtlessly, Audi won't protest, as they won fairly over Peugeot, and I doubt that Pescarolo will protest, nor the Rollcentre team even if they would win the argument.
