First event in the books. After running a few reasonably quick laps it became apparent the car just wouldn’t behave through certain corners which meant tyres were becoming a concern to get us through the event without stopping for a change. Refueling was also a challenge with the way the fuel filler is on these cars so the strategy became more about getting fuel in and running consistent laps without tearing up the tyres. With about 40 minutes left of the 7 hours something let go in the left front. With track time more important than a tyre change and repairs the call was made to stay out and circulate rather than spend time in the pits. Making it through the 7 hours seemed unlikely even before the event, with a lot of unknowns so we are happy to have finished. None of this comes easy so many thanks to out to all who contributed. None more than OEM Denied Performance, Onesol Contracting and Pulsestart Training Solutions Pty Ltd. There’s not much left in the old girl but small gains still to be unlocked. Seeing the chequered flag at the end of the day was reward enough but we also brought home the Old Uncle Moe’s Hot Sauce award for best presented car on the day. Raising funds for Rare Cancers Australia.
