The Lola MG is out of the race as well, and the other MG (LMP900) had a crash.

I wasn't even aware the MGs were in it this year. The coverage on Eurosport is shite, they only show the top 3 cars in each category and the Audis. I watched 30 minutes this morning before they eventually got round to "and by the way, the other TVR is out". No explanation, nothing.

I think it's fecking disgraceful that you can't even get a leaderboard on BBC teletext.

I suppose we won't know until next year if TVR are going back. I hope they are. That's if a French team doesn't apply for entry into the GT class - damned ACO couldn't organise a piss up at Le Mans

Oopps I was wrong, that MG (LMP900) didn't crash. It is just the last of the class.

Bentley - win!

Ferrari - win!

Porsche - win!

TVR - well it was their first year, it normally takes 3 years to achieve a result. Also numbers count; TVR should help CDL and Eclipse put a 2004 together. Le Mans can only help road car developement. Ben S stated that no TVR parts broke, but parts broke and the cars did not finish. TVR can only climb from here.

The Morgan team was greatly missed; hope to see them back in 2004 with Martin Short.

A really good effort from TVR. Well done everyone. If it was easy to win - there would be no sport in it. I hope that TVR have a team there in 2004.

Gentlemen - I salute you all. Especially Michael Caine - I think you put in a commendable performance to get as high in class as you did.

Nothing to be ashamed of and a lot for which to be immensely proud!

Well done PW and TVR - great effort, and let's see more next year when the cars are not penalised!
