After being left stranded in the wilderness by short-sighted Formula 1 teams, especially where years of loyalty to one team since 2001 have counted for nothing, it is satisfying to report that Anthony finally has a race-seat sorted for 2010.He did test for the Peugeot sports-car team in 2009 at Paul Ricard, but despite his rapid pace he lost out to a Frenchman at the final reckoning. Thankfully the Peugeot bosses have recognised the talent in their midst, which led to Ant being signed to drive in this year's Sebring 12-hours, and the Le Mans 24-hours. He will be partnered with his old Austrian friend Alexander Wurz, and the Spanish ace Marc Gene, in what is not just a potential race-winning LMP-1, but also a race-winning driver combination.
It was about time some good news emerged from 2010...
