Yes Congratulations. Must admit though they sounded strange as they stormed past the camera......very quite.

I have been speaking with Trident Iceni as they are set to enter a Bio Diesel powered car in the GT class this year. That car sounds like its just idling when going round the track. It really confuses the senses as it is going quick but sounds slow..if that makes sense....LOL

Mikey, Can I Please point you to the sticky at the top of the forum.
www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.

Please don't post race results in thread titles,
I haven't caught up with Motors TV yet, or read the result or reports on DSC. There is also a Sports Cars forum with Sebring threads in, I was avoiding that board.

I was looking forward to a few hours watching the coverage today, However I THANK YOU for saving me the time and trouble of the effort of sitting and enjoying the race without knowing the result.

The Intersport team were amazing the Field's plus Liz Halliday must be very happy.

Shame the Lola - Cat bio car of the Sharpe's and Ian Dawson did not make the race maybe we will see it later on in the year along with the Trident.

The beginning of the end - a diesel car wins a major motor race.

Only kidding - I'd love to see someone in F1 have a go at diesel power.

Hopefuly this will bring an end to the somewhat bigoted opinion of diesel!

He did originally, but the title has been tweaked.

Top result from the panzers, as expected.

I must say all this bleating about "spoiling" race results etc is a bit silly IMHO. Chances are good on PH or any other car-related fora that the results could be seen inadvertently. Surely avoiding those places entirely until after you've watched the race is a better idea than hoping thousands of others will be sensitive to exactly your needs? Do you shit bricks when you're watching the news on telly and the results are broadcast before you've watched the race? In all likelihood, you don't watch the news, right?
