The FIA World Endurance Championship was back underway over the weekend with the Six Hours of Sao Paulo. It was another great sportscar event and we took to Twitter to find out what you thought…
Has there ever been a cooler pre-race media shoot?

You can’t argue that this field is not high quality. Perhaps the best there is in 2013 motorsport

Though it was a great weekend for Audi. Toyota fell by the way and they were left unchallenged

Toyota were fast but this happened. Though kudos for trying to get it back on track

The LMP2 battle was also tight, with OAK Racing having another solid run. It must be difficult for codrivers waiting at the end of the race…what a pretty face!
I hate the wait….Helpless and hoping for the best. Sitting P2 right now, 23 minutes left. @FIAWEC @OAKRacingLive pic.twitter.com/GD7qXwzPG2

Congrats to the podium getters – here is the LMP1 field

And a word on the future
I spoke to quite a few @FIAWEC teams interested in coming over to Daytona and Sebring next year, but all waiting on regs to be released.

I have it under good authority we will see both the #USCR and @FIAWEC 2014 schedules come out this month. #TheFuture
