They restored Rahel Frey to the driving seat after Dorianne Pins accident earlier in the year, but she was still part of the team, just not driving
I'm not aware of how the team is funded, but Bovy is their (very quick) Bronze, so possibly brings the budget?
As far as I am aware the people backing the Iron Lynx/Iron Dames project (they also own Prema) are Deborah Mayer and Claudio Schiavoni.I'm not aware of how the team is funded, but Bovy is their (very quick) Bronze, so possibly brings the budget?

Exactly. He's unlikely to make the same mistake again.
Whilst that's probably true, hes unlikely to ever do it again even without the penalty, after all hes been racing for decades and I'm not aware hes done it beforeThe main gist of my point was the severity of the penalty
Only 10 days ago we had Robert Kubica deemed at fault (correctly) for putting Dries Vanthoor in the wall at LM
A crash at close to 180MPH which ended Vanthoor's race, fortunately with only minor injuries
Kubicas penalty. a 30 second stop go

Frey and Gatting are gold rated and Pin is silver.
Aye but they need a Bronze in the 3rd seat.They also need a Silver but they have two of those in Frey and Pin.

I wonder why they didn't put Célia Martin in the car as she's bronze rated. She races with Karen Gaillard (Silver) in the Road To Le Mans Huracan.
Maybe not enough time to get her prepared, a 24hr is a big effort and she's new to the team.I don't know why they've shifted the Ring 24 back for next year. It's usually well before LM.

All the Porsches are off the pace and it's not like they've not filled them with some seriously quick drivers.
They are a bit off in general, but the Estre/Vanthoor car was 2 seconds slower than the quickest Porsches, and they would have expected to be fastest of the brandMade progress to the top 20 but retired due to suspension failure pitching Pilet off at Eau Rouge/Radillon
So much wrong here
https://youtube.com/watch?v=6EHIADQqvSA&si=DA3...
Stupid unnecessary accident on the straight
Dreadful driving with cars completely ignoring waved yellows
Poor from race control, it should have immediately been called a FCY, well before the secondary crash

It looked like none of the dozen cars passing that accident lifted an inch, despite the double yellows clearly visible on the light board. https://youtube.com/watch?v=6EHIADQqvSA&si=DA3...

You’d hope for serious sporting penalties being handed out there, but I won’t be holding my breath.
