I also had a great time. 12 hours well spent, thanks Paul....and everyone who took part.
Was I the only one who had trouble sleeping last night, everytime I shut my eyes I kept seeing cars racing around the circuit. Keef |

That'll be winner's euphoria, Keith! Well done.
I slept so well, I overslept. Two man teams are a bit small for a 12 hour. Not that I've done much endurance racing. -------------------- Just remember! If you find a car undrivable, it might not be the car's fault!

I would have thought spending 12 hours with Kev would bring a whole new meaning to endurance.
-------------------- Nostalgia is just not what it used to be.

Jim and Kev's downfall was their choice to race for an hour without changing drivers, it was okay for the first few then even Jim started crashing.
Tony raced our Maserati for an hour at the end, being fresh and the car nicely sorted he completed the highest number of laps in an hour. Paul and Keith were certainly helped by the early pitstop. What did you do to the car?  Three drivers in a team has to be the ideal number, with only two it was hard to grab a snack or a drink. You raced for thirty minutes and then marshalled for thirty minutes. Unless you were *** who kept disappearing and then complained about being made to marshall.  |
