WEC 6 Hours of Spa Francorchamps - GTE-Am

The third placed Ferrari during the pit walk with the mechanics in good humour.
The WEC fields benefit from the GTE-Am class which helps provide a full grid and some beautiful looking cars.   There were nine on the grid at Spa and all survived the race.   I look forward to seeing them again at Le Mans.   Will Aston Martin manage to repeat their 1-2 victory of Spa?
