[Captain Ahab Jr]

Le Mans is a must do for anyone into cars or motorsport and camping at the circuit is a must as there is as much action off the track as on it.

My first time was very special, was meant to go on a bus with guys from work but got called up at the last minute to hand carry some vital race spares (strengthening kit for the lower rear wishbones that were bending after kerb strikes) on the last flight out the night before the race start.

Was well worth it and what seemed like a lifetime later I got to watch our cars make history by finishing in 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 13th places. The only car manufacturer to win outright at the first attempt.

Motorsport is a massive roller coaster of extreme low and highs so after experiencing first hand the crushing feeling of defeat when losing a world championship 2 corners from the chequered flag of the last race of the season I can only feel sympathy for everyone at the Toyota team. They will regroup and for sure come back stronger.

Thought it was nice touch for Porsche to acknowledge Toyota as a worthy competitor, I know a win is a win and rules are rules but it seems a bit harsh the record books won't record Toyota as finishing 2nd place after such nail biting 24hr battle.
