Olivier Beretta made a brilliant start to leap from eighth on the grid to fifth at the start - dodging a opening lap spinner in the process. However, with persistent rain falling, Beretta fell victim to a fogged up windscreen on the second lap - misjudging his braking point and running off the circuit. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17: Gil de Ferran will never forget the thrill of winning the 2003 Indianapolis 500 and is grateful to all who helped him capture one of the world's most important automobile races. On Wednesday, he took the opportunity to meet and thank the people who built the Panoz G Force chassis that he drove to victory at Indianapolis for Marlboro Team Penske as he made his first visit to the headquarters of Elan Motorsports Technologies (EMT) in Braselton, Ga. Panoz G Force is a division of EMT. BATMOBILE ON FOURTH ROW FOR LE MANS 1000KM RACE PANOZ BATMOBILE HITS THE TRACK FOR LE MANS 1000KM ... CHAMPIONSHIP ASSAULT visitors | |
