Oliver Gavin: The ups and downs of racing!

September 7, 2010

So much has happened since I last wrote a blog that I’m not sure where to start! We had two back-to-back races in the ALMS which topped off the end of a month-long stay in America and Canada. Some of that was holiday with my family, which was great, but it’s a long time to [...]

I can’t begin to tell you how disappointing this year’s result is at Le Mans…mostly because we’re all still a bit stunned and all completely knackered. Our 2010 Le Mans 24 Hours was brought to a premature finish yesterday after an engine problem forced our car from a pretty commanding GT2 class lead into retirement [...]
