Onboard is fecking awesome!

Ah, just happened to be watching now when your guy spun the car. Coming up on a pair of back markers your guy got too much kerb on the apex which unsettled the car and he lost the rear. Car seems to have had a brainfart and won't start.

Edit: and going again.

I finished my last stint - 5am to 7.30am. Beautiful sunrise.
The 991 class is yoyo'ing back and forth - slightly different pit strategy.It's going to be an exciting last few hours !

That was Stephen - he said he had a silly spin then had issues.

Hope it's going well. A friend of mine was racing in the Optimum R8 until it retired with gearbox issue and another friend of mine is spannering on the Team Aftrica G55.

It went great !!
We won the 991 class !!!!
11th overall

I had a run in with someone from Team Africa at Heathrow - hope it wasn't your mate

Congrats. Finishing any 24 hour race is a tough ask.

I think my mate towed the car down behind his rusty van!

One of my mates is racing his 458 GT3 at it and it's also my long weekend of work so I'm tempted to make the trip over.

Great little write up of the race from Greg Mills of Team Africa

We were, then we weren't, then we were, and now we are not!

The Creventic calendar has not been kind to us this year, due to work commitments.
We had to pull out of Slovakia too.

Next season's calendar is looking better though.

We'll be at Barcelona in our M3
