JMW Motorsport: Trackside in the sun
Saturday, July 17, 2010
JMW Motorsport are back in action this weekend at the Algarve circuit of Portimao for Round 3 of the Le Mans Series.
The third round of the series marks an interesting departure for teams, drivers and spectators alike with the 6 hour race being held on Saturday night. So please take extra note of the timetable provided below, we don't want you missing the action!
Today's practices have been extremely encouraging for JMW Motorsport. Rob Bell and Darren Turner have always been at the front end of the pack, posting competitive times, culminating with 3rd fastest in class in the third, night time session. With excellent pace, the Aston Martin Vantage has shown today clear signs of it's great promise. With a busy schedule on Saturday, everyone is hoping to translate this into a positive race result.
The weather has been blistering hot and looks set to continue, even the night session was warmer than many a British summer race! With the organisers deciding to put on a 'Le Mans' style start, the cars will be waiting some 40 minutes on the grid before the off so keeping cool is going to be paramount - cool cars, cool heads and a cool team will be on order as the racers head into the Portuguese night!
