We completed a lot of laps. The Dyson organization deserves a lot of credit and I am pleased the R&S employees saw all their hard work validated. The only problems were minor, about what you would expect in a shakedown. Although James was able to lap somewhat faster in the new car than he did in the Grand Am event, the Mk III C was in ALMS spec- carbon brakes, etc.- and so had an advantage that is hard to quantify.<BR> <BR> ”I guess ‘so far, so good’ is an accurate summary. Next week at Sebring will be a challenge. The Dyson team will do a great job, but the factory efforts are so well sorted at this stage that we will be pleased if the car shows the potential to be a consistent winner when it is more fully developed."<BR> <BR> Weaver and co. are likely to be fully appraised of the opposition at Sebring, having seen the Texas event on TV. James is alleged to have praised a certain Dyson driver (in an Audi at Texas) on his "stunning move to get past the car behind him at the start."<BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
