Sebring Result
Final positions for our boys (and girl)
It's been a pretty good outing for Synergy Motorsport this year. In their first 12 hour race they brought the number 91 car home in 24th place, that's 12th in the GT class.
Chris Stockton was at the wheel when the race finished, with the car having covered 262 laps.
The number 92 car finished the race in the pits, having covered 120 laps. It was classified as 33rd place, 16th in class.
Whilst everyone wants to win, just finishing races like this represents a major achievement so it's a result the team can be very proud of and should form a good basis for moving on and hopefully securing a place in the Le Mans 24 hours.
Morgan had a great weekend with Adam Sharp bringing home the Aero 8 in 20th place, 10th in class.
The American Team Elite Lotus Elise GT1 only completed 7 laps 
Martin Short's Dallara finished in 5th place at the end of the race - a good but slightly frustrating result given than the Short/Barff/Barbosa car had been running in third place at one stage. A cracking result nevertheless for the British privateer team.
Pushing Shorty off the top was the Audi Sport UK team which took 1st and 3rd, and the Champion Racing team which took second place. All three teams were using Audi R8's.
In fourth place was a Corvette C5-R.
the TVR at about 2am..when it was in the pits. (They certainly seemed to like
showing the Morgan though.
) We all saw the first accident with the Porker, anyone know what happened
to Amanda to damage the suspension and brakes assembly?
If TVR return next year, might just have to make the trip.
Anyone know when Le Mans stick their 'invites' in the mail?
Interested in finding out what happened during the Alex Job Porsche bump as well. I should see Alex at end of April so will see if he knows anything...
If they ever get their niggles worked out, I expect the Saleen will be a very hard car to beat as well.
Great racing yesterday. My wife will now be happy that I am not glued to the telly all day today

A big thanks to GCerbera who Texted me at 330 as i missed the last 30 mins
due to an Airport run. :cheers: Graham, and CU@Lemans. Appaerently they where saying that Sebring is 4 times more demanding on the cars than teh 24hours of Le Mans. I think this is due it me more bumpy due to the old concrete runways etc. So quiet a feet to finish after teh cars have taken such a bashing.
Cant wait to see the highlights and roll on 24HR Le Mans

Funny thing was, your ears must have been burning.
My brother was visiting to watch the race and we'd only just been talking about you.
You know him from the Griff Growl last year (kartman24.)
Roll on Le Mans!

Wish him all the best for me Ernest. I had money on his team at LM last year and will have again this year if his record is good
