Isolation

LMP1 entrant belonging to Strakka Racing makes progress through S de la Foret at twilight.

 

Having been forced off the grid just before the start, the team battled to get the car out on to the track. They emerged at the back of the field, a full 20 minutes down and fought their way through to 7th overall before a mechanical issue brought about the car's near demise.

 

Strategic thinking and a never-say-die spirit kept the car technically in the race, leaving them able to lap one last time to get classified and score some vital championship points.

 

Sounds like some bigger motor racing teams could learn some lessons here.
