Well done David, that's a great finishing position!

I believe we were given 3 extra penalties which were unwarranted on my swapover, they gave one for 'esc' and one for 'disco' but there was only a 'freeze/disco' and therefore the 'esc' came from the then spectator. So I reckon we should have 3 more laps added to our count.

We were watching you guys throughout the battle too David! Congrats to your P3000 team. That Matra does make a distinctive sound, doesn't it!?

I guess it's always a case of after you cheer and celebrate your finishing at all let alone the finishing position, you think of what might-have-been. Chipwich believes and I'd have to concur that even with all the adversity, IF those last two discos didn't happen, even if ONE didn't happen, Ahmad would have locked 6th place and very possibly challenged for 5th. But as always it's "we'll get 'em next time." smile

I wanted to run so bad that I asked if I could solo, because even though I know that track well, I didn't know the GT40. But when I found out I couldn't run solo, some drivers wanted me to join their car. No, you don't want that people. biggrin There's always a next time. Besides, grandpa had a nice time "pestering" the drivers of car #9. biggrin

I was lucky enough to record the entire race. I asked Patrick if it was okay for me to do the camera car kind of thing and he said just to sign in as spectator, so I did... for 24 hours. wink Used the wireless netbook for the live updates and some comms.

Thanks for doing that Doug. It was an especially long 24 for you. I'm curious, just how much sleep does a team owner get? smile

Well done everyone, must have been very satisfying to get to the end of the 24 hours. I spent a lot of time watching the live feed. Can't wait to see the article Doug!

I was all over this but just couldn't get to grips with the car. I hope there will be another event with a different vehicle.

Congratulations guys for a great run. In spite of all your problems you did superbly.

What an adventure that was - I thoroughly enjoyed it but wow, all the emotions were present as the race unfolded. And a definite sense of exhaustion once it was all over - but at the same time a real feeling of achievement.

Well done to all those involved in the SimHQ team - can't wait to see the vid wink

Jon
