It took the Pug drivers the whole of 2007 to learn how to not drive in to GT2 cars.

A number of drivers complained about poor visibility.

"Visibility straight is good and the seating position is good. Visibility to the right is not easy, but everyone will be like this. It is hard to see the apex in right hand corners."

"It is easier to drive but visibility is a challenge. We won Le Mans in 2003 with the Bentley (Speed 8). The cockpit was different in that car. The A-pillars were different so there was less of a blind spot. There is a bigger blind spot in the latest design requirements and everyone (with a closed top car) will be subject to that.”
