Yes, and bravo Phil's team for winning the Spirit of Le Mans award as well.

We came here after one previous entry, so we're light on experience but full of ambition. This time round we had a car that ran well throughout, and only had the usual minor items that need attention crop up, so had to replace worn braid a couple of times, and adjust the pinion once. But that was really a reflection of the hard work from our tuning department (Mike) who built on everything we learnt from the time before. He also put himself at the service of the race drivers throughout Friday practice and was kept busy tweaking the gearing and the like to get the best out of our handout motor.

So here is our LMP2 car after the race, looking, I think it is fair to say, the same as when it did before the start...

   

So little things like the carefully crafted rubber mirrors and front winglets all still intact!

The organisers kindly cloned our five individual SCP2s during practice so we could all plug an play with our own controllers on each driving stint without having to use the previous drivers settings or reset it to your preference. That worked faultlessly.

I had made up about ten different driver rotation plans, but we kept a simple rotation pattern and all took it in turns and just varied the length of each stint to suit the time of day (and night!) and sleeping patterns. One team maxxed out their best driver at the 14hr limit, but this event caters for all types.
