Lamy won great well, he would win no matter what BMW finished first.

First win for the other three.

I don't think they've said anything about a successor yet -- though it's likely to be the M6. Apparently they are planning on entering two cars next year as well

Nice result for Priaulx!

Yeah, and he was right on the pace

Just got back to Uni, haven't slept for much longer than four hours and got up at six in the morning. The train ride nearly killed me but it was definitely worth it.

Martin Short ended up in 54th place by the way.

Thanks for keeping us up to date during the race
