ELMSの開幕戦のポールリカール。
去年のFIA GT1の開幕戦で大活躍だったイェルマー、プロトタイプでも大活躍だったっぽい。
すばらしい。

でした。
ところでELMSのカレンダー、次は5月末にゾルダーでのレースの予定でしたがキャンセルになったらしい。
で、ELMS勢全部じゃないと思うけど招待で、スパのWECに参戦することになるようです。
Statusがいればいいなー。イェルマーとかシムス…。
日程の件、5月頭のスパ（WEC）と末のゾルダー（ELMS）っての考えると、7月のドニントン（ELMS）と8月のシルバーストーン（WEC）とかどうなるのかなとか思ってしまいます。
まあゾルダーの公式戦がキャンセル、WECに参戦するELMSは、セブリングのALMSとWECみたいにどちらも公式戦じゃないってことなので、ドニントンとシルバーストーンはどっちもちゃんとやるんだろうけど…。
ELMSが台数が少ないからねえ。ちょっと心配です。
