I see everyone has been shifty and quiet about their laptimes and car choice leading up to this event!  Well I haven't broken 2mins yet! Although I'm sure some of our friends from far off planets will probably have managed it.  |

Race length now 34 lapsPushed it to 34 laps, the Panty can do it but has to stop on the correct lap, if you are taking the panty do a quick fuel check with your gearing to test. Alfa SA would have to 3 stop so I advise against taking him The others have a pit window of anything from ~lap 5 to lap 30 so can do a splash and dash, or stop half way for best pace. Tyre change is optional for most cars.

Please note. ****Race is 34 laps**** It only really affects the Panty, and even then it means it has to stop at 17 or 18, if it can make 18. anyone driving the Panty would likely have had to stop at 18 max anyway. Now stop shouting, you will frighten all the good boys and girls.  |

LOL
Changing the race length with less than 3 hrs to go hits everyone.
Mostly it will hit those who don't speak english and do not read this forum.
If they don't notice the subtle change you can expect them to splutter to a halt on the last lap.

sigh... retired on lap 21 at my pitstop No doubt my mechanics couldn't get a wheel back on as it just sat there for several minutes with the sound of a hammer gun and nothing else happening as the grid sauntered past for another lap. Had no choice but to DNF or I would have sat there until midnight  Cant say I enjoyed that event. Didn't like the track and didn't like the cars for an endurance, and had no one to race really, just one of those nights for me. Also couldn't believe I saw a lot of contact on lap 1 ...of 34 on a positive side, great turnout again especially for an endurance event and glad to see there was a mix of cars chosen in the end rather than a horde of rally Alpine cars. |

Sounds like your mechanics were waiting for you to turn your engine off, so they could load up your fuel MJ. Liked the track, it was a good spread of pretty evenly matched cars, something for everyone (except MJ  ) I thought. Had a decent enough drive in the Alpine, steady as she goes. Another endurance successfully endured. p.s. Sorry for the tap on the Pantera (Jarek?)  |

It was a shame to see the carnage in the first turn on the first lap. It probably took out some of my closest competitors. I really enjoyed the Pantera. I would not have expected Ford and Alpine to have that pace. My race went fairly well, except for a delay in my pit stop, and a few off track rallye moments. I would have needed a lot more practice to keep up with Jarda and Legzy. Great race everyone! - WC
