Well it was fun but the engine blew again. Last stint was down to 135mph flat out and it eventually popped again.

Got the car running again for the last couple of laps, at full power. Coming out of the bus stop on the white flag lap someone spins into the wall on the exit bounces across the track and takes us out.
That just about sums up the race!!
with the guy who drove the full 24 hours alone being disqualified as he crossed the line, we ended up 24th overall and 18th in class. After a total of about 5 engine changes.

There may be some 911 drivers in the car park wondering why their cars won't start when they try to drive home.

I think our split was a complete wreck fest. When I finished early this morning with about 5 hrs or so to go, there were only 2 cars (McLarens odd enough) that had no damage. Only 2 HPDs had their front clips still on. The lead car won by 45 laps, that is attrition right there. GT was a good battle however the winning car won by 1 lap.
I got a nice sr boost. I did 162 laps with 4 incident points and got a +1.54 on my rating, guess that's a highlight.

I guess that first crash must have messed up the car for it to keep blowing engines up. I had fun in my stints. We will do more team events. Thanks to everyone who volunteered there time to run
