A much delayed write up for the previous weekends 24 hour finale to the Simply Race Endurance Series.
A mixture of emotions is the way to best describe everything.
On the good side equalling our best ever result of 7th in the race and a best ever finish in the championship of 6th overall is a very proud moment and shows how far the team has come along in the time of its existence.
A massive thank you must go to Prismatic Motorsports. Partnering up with Jess, Jess (yes, that did get confusing!) and Hamish for this race was a blast and a fantastic experience to be alongside people so passionate and enthusiastic about what they do and can achieve.
24 hour races are never a walk in the park but this one in particular was an energy sapper with the challenging Spa-Francorchamps circuit playing host and the typical unpredictable Ardennes weather rearing its head during the night.
A decision to run Intermediate tyres on a drying track did not quite payoff and a late charge to catch 6th place being a little too much to achieve but this does not change what a proud achievement any of the event was.
A first ever experience of trying race commentary also ensued during the evening....with mixed results, training maybe required 😜
There was a downer moment, before and leading up to the race, we knew this was probably likely to be the teams last race. Still questioning that decision.
Another storming display from Fordzilla, CamSport and Ooh Barracuda in this race and the championship entirely!
Fully deserved 👏
