Sometimes motor racing is a contact sport and the Lone Star Le Mans was one such occasion for Garage 59.
No sooner had Alex West made a good start from fifth on the grid in the #58 McLaren, he was spun out by a Mercedes and left to fight back for the remainder of his run. Ironically, Antares Au was hit at the end of his run by the same Mercedes, but we won’t take it personally 😳
Ultimately, it was a rough day for the #10 McLaren, which finished in 17th place after more contact and some penalties.
The #58 fared much better, recovering to eighth place by the chequered flag.
No podium appearance for us this time but we loved every moment of our trip to Austin 🇺🇸
