I am looking for a Third pilot with budget for this race.
The car is a 2L Caterham,which laptime is around 10mn 15s or better if youcan.
Anyone interested?

We have done it twice already.
Last year was not a success,as the car was crashed after 2 hours of race.
The good thing is that we now have a new
chassis.
We have the technical support of 4 people and a trailer.There are 2 cars
in the team and maybe athird one this year.The cars are completely rebuilt before the race ,including a rebuilt engine by Minister in England.We are based in France but we race in France,Germany and Spain.
We also do lots of practicing.

The cost involved by the 24H race is in the range of £6500 per pilot.We do not make any profit as we are pure amateurs.
This includes everything,even the food
and red wine which is required if you do notwant to look ridiculous when qualifying.We manage to be ranked between 40th and 55th onthe grid.This is not a bad performance as there are 310cars for the time practice and 210which take the start in three different groups.
