Qatar Thursday Notebook

Our condolences go to the family of longtime sports car racing entrant and team boss, Hugh Chamberlain.  Rest In Peace, Hugh.  You will be missed.  As a teenager, when I first began following sports car racing seriously, I remember Hugh Chamberlain racing Dodge Viper GTS-R customer cars at Le Mans and then getting involved with the first factory and then privateer effort with MG, Morris Garages, at Le Mans and their Lola built EX-257 which ran in the old open cockpit LMP675 class, the precursor to what is now LMP2.

The 675 in the category name, referred to the cars needing to weigh a minimum of 675 kilograms.  Godspeed, Hugh Chamberlain.  You have taken the checkered flag.  Rest Easy, mate.
