We are mathematically in a position to win the Teams’ and theManufacturers’ Championships but we will have 1000 km of extremely toughracing against very strong opposition to get through first. There will be morethan twice the number of LMP1 cars at this race compared to the last couple ofrounds, including three diesel-powered « factory » Peugeot and Audis and twoAston Martins from Prodrive, but we have confidence in the pace of our carsand our determination will be high for the best possible results. »
