Mission nearly accomplished
Looking back on 2008, it's mission accomplished as far as the Le Mans 24 Hours goes, but it's mission not accomplished as far as the Le Man Series is concerned.
The reason I came back from America was to go head-to-head with Peugeot and try and win the LMS championship. And while I knew some time ago that we had missed that target, it was very important for me to win the Autosport 1000km series finale from a personal point of view.
