Whoops, the Mid-Ohio outright lap record is by De Ferran, not Tracy.  Shimoda's lap was a 1:11 vs Gil's 1:05.  Not bad for a flat bottomed LMP car against a ground effect champ car.

Very inconsistent observations Matt if you ask me, with more holes than swiss cheese.

In fairness, all I had to go on was the result - and my own personal observation of a pit straight length gap between the 2nd C6 and the 1st DBR9 at the one hour mark. Overall, the cautions helped Prodrive recover track position.
The Aston effort is good for the sport - they are great cars, professionally run and driven - they look gorgeous and the Vantage is my dream car. They just ain't what most of you guys think they are, currently - that is, better race cars than the P&M Corvettes.

If I came over as gloating, that was not my intention - honest!
