Onboard Britcar 24Hr 2011 - Fast Lap & Crashes

[MaxxUK]

A few videos uploaded and more to come over the next few days.

We started well back in 46th having not done anything other than our mandatory 3 laps (2 flying) in quali and i'd not driven the car since last year or on this circuit layout.

We did get up to 27th after the first hour but we had 3 'incidents' which cost us 4hrs off track, ended up 31st. None of the incidents were our fault, the 2 below are other cars hitting us and causing steering and suspension damage, the 3rd was also a hit but can't post that yet as a marshal was injured.

This is my and the teams fastest lap of the race, done at about 5am on the Sunday. Unfortunately the car had some problems for my next stint so was not able to improve on this.

There was a Clio in the race 'Jet Black Racing' who did a great job qualifying 38th and finishing 21st overall.

Looks like a few bad "taps" - did it cause much damage?

Unfortunately both where on the front corner so bent the suspension and damaged a damper. We had replacements but meant we had to retrack the car etc. so cost quite a bot of time, first one about an hour, 2nd about 45 mins.
