Default [Spoiler] British media racing "war"

Some of the most important Bristish mags are quite proud of having beaten TG in the 24h of Silverstone

Odd because according to my sources they finished 39th... out of 46 finishers... "They finished the race in 39th position, out of 46 finishers. In their class, a VW Golf diesel finished 13th overall, and a BMW 120 diesel finished 14th. "

Yeah we beat the guys that beat 7 other teams.. horay!
