The Sunday Times commissioned respected motoring journalist Jeremy Hart to write a story about the 24hr. He was in the safety car as it started the race. They also sent along a photographer.
The photo taken on the grid with the Top Gear car at the front was a set-piece intended for the cover of the Motoring section of the Sunday Times on June 29th.
Problem is that editors are fickle. We won't know until next week if they decide to use it on the front cover or how they will present the article.
Jonathan Gill at MPA and Joe Ground at Citroen set things up, and they are working hard to get the best possible presentation of the article, but, always remember, the Editor makes the final decision.
Just like racing, you do everything you can to get a good result, but things happpen you can't plan for.
