I'll say there was more green at the track this year, but it needs more to help control the stuff getting on the track and reducing the racing line.
Man Lucas needs to pull his head out of his....
The incident with Lou was clearly Lucas's fault, in everyone's eyes but his own, hence the stop and go for the avoidable contact!
Well the incident with the #1 with the Ford hitting the Audi, while unfortunate, was a racing incident as far as the Ford's involvement is concerned. The Audi was a little to enthusiastic in pulling that move, putting the Ford in the middle in a situation like that.
IMO these incidents can be attributed the extra pressure that the Audi drivers are now under (from Audi) to perform against the P-2's, which is brought on by another can of worms!
The LG Riley seems to be a pretty well put together unit for all the abuse that was thrown at it by others(Luhr and Melo)! Lou and Eric looked good in the car and the Dunlops seem to perform way better than the Kumho's did. Good solid forward progress for the team here. Lets hope that over the Le Mans break that Lou can get Eric in the car full time. Wonder just how much more tinkering Riley can/will do with the chassis during the break.
