Car 48 seems to be a bit camera shy on YouTube

We were filmed for a driver change about 7:15, I don't know if it was shown on the stream though.

Think they chose someone else.

First quarter completed 😁

Currently P18. 10th in class.  Noted that both Team Lion cars (the team that seems to win every year) have fallen well behind after what I presume are early problems.

One lion had a camshaft failure early on and they had to swap the engine.

Watching the live stream currently, but seen pics of my mate Andi’s Reggie-Mental racing car having the side rebuilt… what happened there?!?!

Into the barrier.

Thankfully the driver is ok.

Once towed back @Talbotand Martin put the car back into shape (and it was very fucked) using a series of large bars and gravity assisted manual persuaders.

Panel beating.

Straight... Ish!

Back in the fight to a round of applause.

 

[brownnova]

Wow! Incredible work. Glad the driver is ok. 

[High Jetter]

Yup, why does it take F1 so long to fix their cars?

[MrsJuular]

Half way through. Currently 10th!

Everyone is awake(ish).

[chaseracer]

I really wasn't... 😁

[dome]

I missed the chat on this, if you're needing an extra body next year let me know...

[Crackers]

4am engine change completed in something like 17 minutes... Not shabby. 

Could have got away without it but the diagnosis of carb icing was only figured out an hour later after multiple cars came in with the same issue. We were the first to experience it AFAIK. 

[richardmorris]

Wet,wet wet for the final push.

[juular]

Somewhat moist

 

[DSdriver]

49 seconds to the finish the Youtube failed and seemed to think we were interested in football 🙁

Car 79 was dropping down the order, did you get up into 10th position?

[Meter rat]

So it was not just me then? I suppose someone with a villa paid more money..

[richardmorris]

[brownnova]

Crikey, Muffins must have had some issues between me watching this morning and the finish! They dropped a good few places 😢

 

Well done to all involved. Would love to come next year…! 

[juular]

10th. The novice (irritant warning) sticker can come off.

It's beer (and rain) o'clock.

[DSdriver]

Congratulations, will the area which used to have the yellow square with the cross on it be used for more sponsorship or maybe an AS sticker

How does the carb get iced up when you have been running for over twelve hours?
