    How did you like the Spyker on it's first(?) long trip?
    He is not used to the fact that people take pictures. He might thinks that people take pictures of him

    Driving was great even if you drive fast (about 250) I did not had the feeling that I was out off control. In the past I have driven a TVR Sagaris, also 400HP and light. But in that Car you had the feeling that everything was flying off at above 230!

    But...... it was also a bit wet inside when it was raining on the way to le Mans.

            The report has been slightly, but significantly, changed:

            ...Afterwards Spyker CEO Mr. Victor Muller said: "As from the day we launched the company in October 2000, we have consistently used endurance racing as one of our marketing pillars. Since 2002, we have raced at Le Mans every year, except for 2004, and used the event as a powerful marketing tool. We strongly feel that racing breeds our brand and that our commercial effort to sale our product is greatly helped by the exposure generated by our GT2 cars at Le Mans. Until now, these efforts did not bear the desired fruit: a successful finish in the most challenging 24-hour race in the world. Today, that all changed. Our team Spyker Squadron came in fifth in the GT2 class, preceded only by four Ferrari's F430 and left six Ferrari's, five Porsches and one Aston Martin behind. For a manufacturer such as Spyker, this is an unprecedented achievement for which I would like to thank Peter van Erp as the team's dedicated chief as well as our sponsors, in particular our title sponsor Snoras Bank. We are convinced that this first successful finish at Le Mans will be followed by many more such finishes in the years to come. We remain dedicated to GT racing as part of our overall marketing strategy."
            Hereby indicating that Spyker will be back !
