Honda has left another team in the lurch just as they did with their F1 team.... hope something good comes out of it as it did with Jenson

To be fair to Honda they gave their reasons as being the situation in Japan post tsunami and earthquake so it would be harsh to blame them.

Plus of course that Highcroft have been struggling to put together a budget for this year in the ALMS, not just Le Mans. I don't think apportioning blame to one entity is fair in this situation.

I think their timing is such that it leaves everyone in the lurch.

Highcroft out - Lola v12 Aston in @ Le Mans - Shame, but great to hear that engine one last time !
After the testing session performance or lack of it i was expecting this result

I remember going to Le Mans for the first time last year. We arrived during qualies on the Thurs, parked the car up, got out and heard the V12's screaming away. Just thought WTF is that! Been to loads of motorsport events previously but never heard anything like it!

Absolute shame for Brabs, hope somebody books him for another seat.
