Ah, just happened to be watching now when your guy spun the car. Coming up on a pair of back markers your guy got too much kerb on the apex which unsettled the car and he lost the rear. Car seems to have had a brainfart and won't start.

Edit: and going again.
I finished my last stint - 5am to 7.30am. Beautiful sunrise.
The 991 class is yoyo'ing back and forth - slightly different pit strategy.It's going to be an exciting last few hours !

That was Stephen - he said he had a silly spin then had issues.

Congrats. Finishing any 24 hour race is a tough ask.

I think my mate towed the car down behind his rusty van!
Thanks Andy - much appreciated smile
