Competed today in round two of the BRCA sportscar endurance championship. 

Had two of our regular drivers couldn't make it so we had two local Jr's join our team who've not raced this class before. But this is the home track.  


Practice on Saturday was good. Car didn't need many changes to get it to a nice balance on the track and really the old drama was when an old set of practice tyres decided to disintegrate.



First two rounds of qualifying today went well. Unfortunately round three we broke an upright and round four the driver accidentally turned the car off at the start, my car if you hold the brake it shuts off.

So we qualified 7th of 7.



We let the locals take the race start and they managed to get us up into 2nd. Unfortunately we then sheared a ball joint on the bottom suspension arm about 35 mins in. Trip back to the 'garage' and we got it back out in 6th.



After that the car ran well. An hour in our initial tyres were dying and we swapped to a harder compound. That saw us through the middle 2 hours with another hard set taking us through the final hour.



An hour to go we found oursleves in 5th as the issues started to bite for the other teams.  One team had to swap a motor. Another had their tyres fail and another just had a myriad of breakages.  


25 mins to go and we hear something scraping worrying a shock came off. Thankfully the rear body mount dropped a screw so it was just scraping the side skirt and we left it hoping it would hold for the last bit of the race. 



Then over the line after 4 hours and 789 laps we claimed 3rd!

4 Hours, 789 laps, and a 3rd place
