D-Brief: Two from two.

Thursday, 19th May 2005

A Silverstone one-two for the Aston Martin Racing team was the perfect result as both Aston Martin and Prodrive are just a stone's throw away from the famous circuit, and gave the British fans a chance to see the wonderful DBR9s putting down a performance to remember.

Pedro took a few dives down the inside, and even touched Darren's car - I was watching the TV, having kittens and eventually couldn't watch anymore. I had just gone to the pits to talk with the team when I saw Pedro had got past. Apparently, Darren was told to let him go because the MC12 was catching both of them and it made sense to let the faster car get past.

So, even though I didn't win the race and get brag to dad that I won the RAC Tourist Trophy - which he hadn't - we as a team had a fantastic result. It is quite amazing to see the way Aston Martin and Prodrive have put these cars together to win two races in a row. History is being made!

There was no time to rest and enjoy the result, however, as we went testing for two days at MIRA straight after the race, to sort the Le Mans aero package. This is very important as we feel confident of doing well this year at Le Mans, but we need everything just right. We will know if what we are doing is going to work as the Le Mans Pre-Q day is only three weeks away.
