Pete Fenelon should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

I'm kind of amazed that they couldn't find a home - at least until this year's 24 Hours - with a favoured customer team. Audi got their hat-trick with the R8; it would've been more interesting to farm the EXPs out to (say) Goh and Champion and let them duke it out for the '04 and '05 wins. The R8 appeals to purists, people who know sports car racing pretty well. The Bentley was something that you spotted casual gearheads taking an interest in...

I'm not sure what's more impressive - five wins and a third in six years, or two hat-tricks with very different cars
