    Team Chappyman66 selects the Porsche 936 please. Hopefully it's fast as well as pretty. But who cares? We have a great sponsor and will have an excellent party!

      DW555 takes the #30 Momo. They were our sponsor from long ago. Hopefully we will continue the effort.

                      Hi there!
                      A lot of activity at Elra Park this weekend.
                      All teams tested the cars and made adjustments.
                      After a typical English breakfast was the race briefing
                      There will be a 6 hours race (actually it´s about 10 minutes) for 6 cars, it means that after the qualy sessionn the last 2 cars whith worse times will race for a place on the race!

                      After 10 laps qualifying session results was:

                      P1 #17 Vonsirius (Ferrari)

                      P2 #18 Racing Bandit (Mazda)

                      P3 #6 Chappyman (Porsche)

                      P4 #30 Dw5555 (Porsche)

                      P5 #7 T County Lug Nuts (Jaguar)

                      P6 to be decided ; #26 Slothead (Alpine Renault) vs # 88 Hksk25 (Jaguar)

                      (To be continued...)

                        Okay, so choosing Buddy to be our driver might not have been a smart move. He doesn't quite get the idea of speed being most important, he just likes to wave at everyone as he goes around the track. We have reason to believe that there is a race driver in him, we just have to connect with it. Someone suggested we remind him that "if your not first your last" and see if that helps.

                          Team Martini Chappyman66 is happy with our qualifying effort. Our relaxation in the sponsor suite (sorry, not sorry Dave) perhaps paid off. Looking forward to filling the field.
                          The 936 is a proven endurance platform so we are hopeful that the 6 hour race will be an advantage to us. If not, much relaxation time will be available in the Martini enclave!

                            Finally the race day arrived!

                            First event was the Qualyfing race, the last two cars whith worse times will battle for a place oon the main race, Anyway the car that will not race still will have points as being seventh.

                            #26 Slothead (Alpine Renault) vs # 88 Hksk25 (Jaguar)
                            Both drivers were suddenly under a huge pressure, realizing that one of them will be out of the race.

                            And there they go! as expected was a close race, both teams at their limit but aware that a mistake will be the end, that came at lap eight, braking too late entering Esso curve, the Renault went out of the track, was able to rejoin the race but all was lost!

                            Not happy faces at Slothead Renault crew.

                            Starting Grid

                            P1 #17 Vonsirius (Ferrari)

                            P2 #18 Racing Bandit (Mazda)

                            P3 #6 Chappyman (Porsche)

                            P4 #30 Dw5555 (Porsche)

                            P5 #7 T County Lug Nuts (Jaguar)

                            P6 # 88 Hksk25 (Jaguar)

                            DNQ #26 Slothead (Alpine Renault)

                            The Main Event; 6 hours race.

                            To made a long history short, enought to say that the race it´s actually divided in different 2 cars heats , that conforms the overall results. Each car on the grid have chances to win the race, each car will race 10 minutes. As usual weather was decided on dice throws.

                            At 12 o´clock AM race started, Vonsirius leading the race, but not for so long, Racing Bandit overtoke the Ferrari and whith a track free of trafic went at a fantastic pace, breakingthe circuit record!

                            At the back huge battles had place, Hksk´s Jaguar pushing hard.

                            Positions after 2 hours;

                            1-#18 Racing Bandit (Mazda)
                            2-#6 Chappyman (Porsche)
                            3-#17 Vonsirius (Ferrari)
                            4-#88 Hksk25 (Jaguar)
                            5-#30 Dw5555 (Porsche)
                            6-#7 T County Lug Nuts (Jaguar)

                              The Porsche seems to be struggling. Not quite sure what the problem was. The driver said it seemed down on power but the mechanics said all was good so we're not sure where to go from here.
