Doriane Pin and her team Duqueine finished 3rd in the LMP2 Pro/Am classification (11th overall), after a ten second penalty knocked them off of 2nd place. Doriane was also the LMP2 Pro/Am driver of the day. Jamie Chadwick and IDEC Sport LMP2 finished 4th overall and in the class.

My dad had never seen any formula racing before, so it was really fun seeing how much he enjoyed it as a first experience!

We got to see FR Americas, F4 US, and Ligier Junior Formula Championship …as well as some muscle cars and classic cars racing too.

Tumblr will only let me post so many pictures, so in no particular order:

(I also have videos, but I might post those separately.)

They also let us walk around the paddock! I was a little too nervous/anxious to really interact with anyone, but it was still so cool getting to walk through and see all the different teams.

And yes… we found the gift shop. 😂 I was very tempted by a McLaren shirt, but I showed some self-control and came home with a “Weekends Are for Racing” T-shirt instead.
