Allan McNish: Going the Distance
Spa might have brought another run of bad luck for Allan McNish, but at least the fun of stroking an Audi R10 around one of the world's great circuits offered some compensation
I've never believed in bad luck, but just recently I've begun to wonder! Spa-Francorchamps was the third race in a row where things went wrong for us.
In a five round championship you can't afford one race dropped, never mind three. But it has become standard procedure for us to find ourselves four laps down, half-way through the race and facing an Allan McNish/Rinaldo Capello fightback.
