WE had put in a Q time of 2:02.5 on a different buiold of the game, the time placed us sixth on the grid, start went alright, dropped down a few palces to the harpin where we had an Audi cutting across our front and spun himself out, first stint was really a tussle for track possistions as it progressed we dropped back to around 9th to 11th before getting rammed in the right side as Zed said, causing the sterring and suspenstion to get a bit dented, part from that we had minor incidents with other cars but nothign we could come back from. I handed over the car to our next driver, think it was either BelgianWolf or Zed, cant remember now at the moment, think it was Zed actually, he took the car and drove it really well, had a few close calls with people being in the way, as we had an issue with traffic, how to get by cars thats a lap or two ahead of us but being slower, easy job for Zed who kept the hammer down and drove like a god on his first ever endurance race stint, he handed over the car to BelgianWolf who also drove like a mad man in the traffic and crushed everyone that was infront of him, a realyl good stint from him meant we could get me back into the car for another stint where I drove and kept up our good pace, catching up on the field and places, then handed the car to wavseeker who also drove it like a beast, think it was Zed who took over the car again after wavseeker and from this åpoint and on we just kept that right foot planted on the accelerator pedal, whats brakes for I mean? Anyway, we kept our pace up for the rest of the race wit hwavseeker,zed and belgianwolf putting up good stint each, coming in for the final stint Zed wrere running 14th or 15th and we had chance on 11th, I took over and began the chase, had a good battle with p12 over the spot over several mad laps were we ran side by side, over and under each other before I passed him, thus taking 12th but a moment of blurr saw me going off in the hairpin and he grabbed the place back but with a redhot Gorilla on his rear I fought the way back and within half a lap I'd nicked his place again and this time it was not to be given up, at this point, 15 min left of the race p11 45 secs away, urged on by the boys I drove and pushed the car to its breaking limts but it was not to be, crossing hte line after 333 laps we secured 12th place, just 6 laps down in total.
Again Im throwing a shout out to the merc team and Mystic, we did it boys, we showed our pace in the race and would it not have been for the tussles we had early in the race we would have been top 10 maybe even top 5, onwards towards the Green Hell in a month, lets show em
