Excellent drive for me again, matched my daytona performance so far, no mistakes whatsoever. Even got chance to give and receive a bit of bump drafting. I have my fingers crossed that neil can keep his nerve and hold this together, we're leading but not by much.

Really itching to get back in the car but i know i can't!

Gonna be stepping into the 85 car for the final stint soon

good luck man

Final Driver Change for PCCR Car, Dave Ellis shall replace Gav Wilson for the final stint to the end of the race.

555 does a driver change!!

VTR1 in the lead!

Just came back from my stint. No pressure what-so-ever, with Rich telling me that under no circumstances must I spin, and I must keep the pace up. Heh, thanks, really keeps your heart rate steady that lol

Anyway, dE Racing must of had a slower driver in as the gap was increasing, as I wasn't really pushing hard, keeping it in the low 34s for most of the stage.

Rich's taken over again, a bit earlier than me planned because he is a bit faster than me, and it was worth having him in the car in case dE Racing have Tom Goodall back or something.

It's looking good for a win though

Yeah, the dE #555 did a driver change, a slow one at that, so you're 2 laps clear.

Dave had an awful spin that wrecked the tyres, and had to make an extra stop. PCCR are now 4th, with the 7 Hillcrest racing car behind us, apparently catching quite quickly.

VTR2 are 15th now, with Esben in the car I believe.

Everything has shaken itself down after the last driver changes and we are 1 lap ahead of the HSW Racing car, with 22 laps to go.

Ian's setting up a broadcast for VTR1 as we speak (we've spent most of the time silent, but you know the last 10 laps arent gonna be with ), and Rich's also wondering what to say if everything goes to plan.

Suggestions please

Ok, Ian's setup a stream (thanks :D) for the VTR1 car on [racing.vadertrophy.com] (just refresh the watch & listen page and it'll appear).

Not much is being said at the moment, but I'll post again when the last 5 laps come (15 laps to go).

3 laps left, Richs gone into super cruise mode now apparently.

yay! vtr1 wins :D

VTR1 first!

PCCR 4th!

VTR2 15th!


VTR1 - Rich and Glyn
VTR2 - Ian, Esben, Koop
PCCR - Neil dave and Gav!

10 or so laps from the end I was ordered to move over by the ScudBollesNegro car, and I was chasing the xUSSR car a mere 3 or so second ahead. So I let him though, thinking I could use him to my advantage to get by the Rushkis. Then along came another car, zipped by, and I now had two cars who I thought would help me past the xUSSR guys. I was wrong. They held me up into T1 and pulled away everywhere else, while the Rushkis were comfortably motoring along, ahead of the two w*nkers between us. I managed not to get held up in T1 one lap and clocked a 1:33.5, basically I was pushing like hell. It didn't help, we ended up in 14th, and I'm kinda disappointed with myself for being too polite with those lappees...

Congrats guys. Great drive. It would appear things are shaping up well for Le Mans next week?

Yes... only thing is we're in the slower car - we've chosen one for the long haul - tried to increase our chances of actually finishing... touch wood.

I have one word.... w00t! :D

That was a fantastic race, both neil and I had fantastic drives, absolutely no mistakes from either of us and it went 99% according to plan for our car.

In the Jag, that actually isn't too difficult as there is wood in the cockpit!

Great job guys (all of you, but especially the VTR1 drivers).
