A late entrant into this Series.  To better simulate the 24hrs of Le Mans, the race should start at 4am GMT.

Watched Lemons 66 last night, it started at 10pm and ran for 3 hours ( inc  coffee brakes ) It was on BBC so it must be true !

...and still only ONE shift-R allowed 

Have a good race tonight lads...

I'm not a lover of this place to much, just can't get to carry enough speed. The only I thing I well at speed here is crash..

I'm sitting in a hospital bed having found out some recent  violent stomach pains and problems might not be older issues coming back to play me about a bit. Proof that age isn't a barrier to new things.

I have just discovered I have gall stones.

See you all next week.

You have my sympathy, Paul. Been there and done that, so I know about the stomach pains. I hope they remove the 'orrible little thing quickly and allow you to get some respite.

Take care mate and see you back on track soon.

All sounds like fun. Sorry, I was busy and had to miss this one

Hope to see you next time. Grats to Doni on the victory.

Paul, I hope you´re feeling better soon. It´s a shame we didn´t have more drivers for this race.

Congrats Doni, Axel, or Axel, Doni!

I was disappointed Yannick didn´t make it. Without him it seemed too easy. I wish Axel had started behind me. It took a while before I realized he was in the race.

Yes Doni it was going to be boring if just ran away from all of you. Without Yannick present, I would have liked to drive the Mirage. That could have been interesting. I used you to save fuel at the beginning of the race. I was worried I might run low if I didn´t save some fuel at some point. I made a mistake at the start by going 100 kph. I used the right number but the wrong measurement. I´m glad it helped Axel and didn´t hurt anybody else.

I ran lap 2 or 3 as fast as I could which broke any slipstream you could get from me. After that I slowed to let you guys back in my tow. I thought about dropping back to Dave and seeing if I could tow him back to Doni and Clive. I was trying to make it where Doni would be about 150 meters behind me at my braking point for Mulsanne. I felt bad when I noticed that I seemed to be helping Doni get away from Clive. I didn´t want to do that but I did want to help you guys go faster. I was trying different lines and and braking points since I wasn´t worried about losing time. I pushed my braking point for Mulsanne to the limit which is what put me on the berm once. Luckily, I was very quick with my shovel and had the car going again without a reset. It got interesting at that point. I thought I might have lost too much time to catch Doni but then I had a good reason to drive as quick as I could. I got impatient late in the race. When I caught Doni, Axel wasn´t far behind. I worried a little what the situation would be when all three of us got to Mulsanne so I tried to pass going into Dunlop. If I could have made the pass it would have been interesting to see if I could have opened a gap in the Esses and Terte Rouge that would have allowed me to beat you two to Mulsanne.

I´m disappointed I wrecked Clive. I apologize. I tried to keep my car out of Doni and Axel´s way and I was glad they made it by me. Clive didn´t. Clive likely would have missed me if he was running my usual line. It was incredible seeing the speed he was carrying over the hill after Dunlop. I don´t think I´ve ever been hit so hard. I didn´t make a reset then. I quickly realized my car´s top speed was down by at least 10 mph but more likely 20 mph. When I missed Mulsanne, I was sure Clive was going to pass me. I couldn´t figure out how he was still behind me. It´s a shame you beached yourself. No matter what might happen, I was going to let you finish ahead of me after wrecking you at Dunlop.

It´s kind of sad that the Ferrari with best of a slipstream still has a lower top speed than the Mk IV has without a tow. I could do 221 mph without a tow and over 230 mph with one. In the past I would try to race Mark Jones in the Ford and me in the Ferrari. He always beat me. The Mark IV´s advantage on the straight can not be recovered in the turns.

Clive, what you saw me do at Mulsanne is experience. If you can´t make the turn, the fastest way to recover is drive behind hedges and reenter the track 100s of meters past Mulsanne. In the past, I´d often make 3 left turns when I missed making the right. That is much slower than driving behind the hedges.

I had a lot more fun doing what I did than if I have tried to run away from everybody. And I like to see Doni and Axel get good finishes. I do wish I hadn´t made a mess of Clive´s race. That´s the only thing that makes me wish I´d have driven away from the field.

Thanks for fun gentlemen. I appreciate it.
