This week, to cover for the cancellation of the Bahrain Grand Prix, we dipped into sports car endurance racing once again and watched the opening weekend of the European Le Mans Series in Barcelona. There were quite a few familiar names from single seater racing to keep an eye on, which made the 4 hour race pass quickly, apart from the long caution on lap 1, that seems to be obligatory in endurance racing. No exception to this rule was the GT World Challenge Europe race at Paul Ricard where Lance Stroll made his GT3 debut. As well as this we talk about not so inspirational team names, penalties for incorrect underpants, and marvel how Stroll could get blue flag penalties given he usually drives the Aston Martin Honda.
