We have just done our second 4 hour race,started 6th and finished 6th out of 39 starters,
We got hit from behind on the first lap at about 120 mph did 3 360's on the infeild rejoined in 18th place,engine check light came on only had 9lbs boost ,
after 1.5 hours back up to 4th came in for fuel got a drive through for pitlane speed [40 kph] rejoined in 8th, 30 mins later start to get fuel surge with 3/4 full tank 5th place, fill tank, surge gone, another drive through penalty,rejoin 7th, from then on we get fuel surge every 1/2 hour so we have to refuel every 1/2 hour, we only planed 2 fuel stops for 4 hours racing,had 5 stops plus 2 drive through penalties still finished 6th.
first 4 hour race we were black flaged after 17 laps for noise, this race was the first time 05 GT #612 had turned a wheel since she was crashed into a power pole,so not to bad a result for no testing at all
