Finishing the 8 Hours is worth just as much as winning it, you know. Especially in the rain. I know endurance racing firsthand, so I can tell you — running eight hours trouble-free wears down your nerves more than you'd think. All five teams finishing is proof of a team's core strength, even more than raw speed. I give this kind of grit an honest round of applause.
