It’s that time of year where we all try to take a breath, surround ourselves with the ones we love and take stock of what’s important, what’s past, and what’s to come in the days, months and year ahead.

The first item on the agenda here this morning is a huge thank you, to you, our readers for your continued support for what we do, why we do it and how we do it too. DSC continues to grow, and your feedback, both positive and constructively critical, is an important barometer for when we get it right, and on the odd occasion when we don’t, Thank you.

Thank you too to the race organisers that assist our ability to do all of that, from the FIA WEC, IMSA, SRO, ELMS, Asian Le Mans Series, and a myriad of others that we talk to and email throughout a busy year, thank you for your help and guidance.

And to the manufacturers, teams, background boys and girls, and yes the drivers too, thanks for your indulgence and support too.

And from Dave and I a very special thanks too to the DSC team, a worldwide network of correspondents, writers and photographers, and our backroom team that keeps it all secure and available for you all to enjoy (we hope), 24/7 – 365 days a year.

And a thank you too to all of our families, their ability and willingness to soak up the inevitable pressures that come with our regular sorties in pursuit of the words and images that make DSC happen is key to sustaining what we all do.

And a particular Christmas message this year to our friend and partner Marshall Pruett and his amazing wife Shabral.

May this Christmas bring you, happiness guys, after what has been a very, very tough year, here’s to a much, much better 2020. We’ve got your back MP!

Enjoy what we have prepared for you for Christmas week. We’ll bring you news as it comes of course, but just for a few days, it will take a distinctly back seat priority to those who help us to do what we do for the other 51 weeks of the year.

Have a wonderful Christmas all.
