I did film them with the new drivers doing their seat fitting and it was fascinating hearing David Brabham, Marino Franchitti and Simon Pagenaud speak of good and bad seats.

They just can't display the Patron tequila name. Ferrari raced at Magny-cours France with the barcode livery for Marlboro, I'm sure highcroft can find a way to honor their supporters as well. Penske also represents marlboro cleverly in the IRL. Patron gave them very generous support in the ALMS even though they were never the lead Acura team. The money helped shoot them to the front. They have to find a way to pay back the favor. They should be able to use their regular colors. They just can’t display the Patron tequila name.

But since Acura had to give him permission to join another manufacturer it's time to owe the favor back. If they win, David Brabham would have won 3 of the 4 classes at LeMans. Amazing.
