She has done it!

Well bragging time for my little offspring is in the air.
4 years ago she set herself a goal of competing at LeMans and frankly I thought it was a great plan but might not succeed. Oh me of little faith I should have put a bet with William Hill because this coming week the Jackson hoard will travel to LeMans to support her as she races in the support race to the 24 hour in this LMP3 Ligier powered by a Nissan motor and is an awesome beast that comfortably exceeds 200 mph.
In the future I had better believe her when she sets a target.

That's interesting. I doubt that I would be able to drive it as the downforce means you fly off if going too fast and fly off if going too slow :wink:
I will have a bottle of champoo ready for AFTER she finishes and a finish in any position is a win in my book as the pedallers at this level can really pedal!

Bloody well done Rebecca! She's achieved entry to an exceedingly exclusive club there, what tiny percentage of competitive drivers get to drive at Le Mans?

For the first time since the ACO started bulldozing and concreting over the character of the place I feel I'd like to go watch.
