“It s amazing and fantastic, ” Briscoe said afterward. “I don t know how we did it today. After the problems at the start it didn t look good. There was debris under the car from another prototype that came for the contact by cars at the start. It ran the temperatures up. I kept thinking at any moment the engine was going to blow. And then we couldn t get the grip. There was a big piece of wing under the car blocking the air. Apart from that we had a fast car, got some luck and went on to win. “
