Been a while since I talked about these guys but I should mention them more often given the results...
For a first year team they are doing amazingly well as evidenced by the team's 3rd place standing in the overall GT1 2010 team championship. Fielding a two car effort the Sumo GT boys have been lucky most of the time that when things have gone poorly for one of their cars, the other one has picked things up a notch.
As was the case this past weekend in Navarra, Spain. While the number 23 GT-R of Dumbreck/Krumm was punted early on and DNF'd after only 6 laps, the number 22 GT-R of Campbell-Walter/Hughes ran really well all day and ended on the podium in third. With numerous podiums and one event win on the season the Sumo GT team sits in third place for the year with two South American events left on the calendar. Anything less that rounding out the year in third will be a disappointment at this point but the team should be rewarded by Nissan regardless of how things finish up as they have run near the top of the leaderboard all year and put the GT-R on the map across Europe and the world.
