1530: n0

Last minute drama when our back-up radio transmit button shorted out. Steve and Kjetil fixed it with a minute to spare. Hopefully this is the last time I see the car for 2.5hrs!

1600: n1

One of our fellow SP3 cars got a whack in T13. Multiple cars didn’t make it through the first hour…

1700: n2

Briefly we led SP3 as our 13 lap stint kept us out the longest. Because of our long stint, and slightly slower ‘economy’ mapping, we’re hoping to leap-frog ahead more and more as the race goes on…

1900: n4

Yes, that’s Werner moving left, staying left, and STILL getting hit by a GT4. Sad times. TRUE STORY: Werner’s shoulder was so red and sore after the impact, we were worried he’d broken something. He’s back at the hotel now taking a break until the morning. Here’s what our wheel looked like after:

2230: n7

Nightmare. I jumped in the car after Werner’s little accident above, and hit the track on a mission. Pulled back P2 from a Clio, then after a 5 lap battle with the other GT86, I took P1 in our class. Then this happened…

A quick tow back to pitlane and 35 minutes later…

00:00: n9

Moritz Gusenbauer is at the wheel. The car has a new driveshaft, a new alignment and he says it feels good. And he’s already 2 seconds quicker than my best lap… we are down from P1 to P6 but it’s a long race, and we will keep pushing!

Standings at midnight Sunday. We lost a lot of places, but we’re still on track.
