Aston Martin had a cracking race at Le Mans this weekend, and although a third place looked tantalisingly possible near the end, the three cars in front held on to their positions.

Whisper it: Aston Martin could get on the podium this afternoon at Le Mans. At least, that’s what we – and everyone else rooting for AM – are crossing our fingers for.

There’s some drunken/sun casualties around Le Mans at this time of the evening, but luckily none of them are in our TG Crew. Fingers crossed it stays that way… The racing is tight and really full on at the front, with champions Audi and challengers Peugeot going at it hammer and nail.

The TG Crew rolled up at Le Mans yesterday evening, set up camp and – as with tradition – got on the beer. It’s the obvious option…

Being a clever sort, you’ll have noticed that this isn’t a blog about Formula 1. It’s not even a blog about grand prix racing. It’s about endurance racing, and more importantly, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The big one.
