I arrived at Paul Ricard, 'fresh' from two days shooting at the VLN in Germany... the slight date clash meant I arrived on track at le Castellat, on Sunday morning, having missed the action from Saturday.
The site and sound from a bakers dozen of LP560s powering around the stripey circuit was one to behold.
I noted with interest on the press material that the SuperTrofeo series claims to be the fastest one make series in the world. This is a pretty similar claim to Porsche with their SuperCup series. I think it would be interesting to run a comparison to find out for sure... but it doesn't really matter :)
