Hi guys,

Just quickly popping in to post details of the 24 hour 2CV race this weekend at Snetterton, Norfolk. If you can make it in person, look me up in Team Stinky (all-black car with green highlights), and if you can't make it, take a look at our web stream of the racing:

We got 3rd, and I got to stand on the podium  :thumbup2:

Would perhaps have been higher, had we not had a 12 minute pitstop for dodgy brake pads, and a slightly slipping clutch towards the end.

I was also working on the media coverage, and this year we got quite a lot of it. Not so much big in Japan, but we're known in China: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFlF-8YxljA

Also Australia: http://media.smh.com.au/national/selections/quirky-24hour-race-of-the-lemons-1844085.html

And on ITV regional news: http://www.itv.com/anglia/2cv-race-at-snetterton47790/

And on the Beeb: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11066841

You might see me at the end of those clips, in the Team Stinky t-shirt, standing closest to the winners :)

All the cars that started the race finished it, and we only had 8 safety car laps, which for a 24 hour race is something of a record!
