What happened to the lads with the C4?
Discussion
Ok then brief Citroen update.
Managed to get all 4 drivers through day qually and 3 in the car in night qually.
Although slightly worrying noise from motor.
Checked valve clearances on sat morning, which involved removing manifold!
Found a smashed cam follower. Managed to find one half way to Paris. Mad dash to get it and fit it.
Race 1. 9pm
Paul took the le Mans start

Handing over to Gary after 2 laps.
Lap times just over 10 mins
Finished race one woo hop
Race 2 5am
The plan was paul 2 laps, martin 1 lap Gary 1 or 2
But aco changed race without telling anyone, and the race started on what everyone thought was the form up lap!
So paul did 3 Laps and martin just the one with Gary not getting a lap.
We were also worried about a penalty as we missed the pit window ( 15-30) mins. But so did everyone so no penalty.
2 down 1 to go
Race 3. 1.30 pm
The final race and almost there..
Mike started for his first giving the car. With the track now dry he did the. Best laps with a 9.33
Car came in for driver change to martin and mikes pace had left enough time for martin to do 3 laps. Car sounded good temps and pressures good.
12mins 30 secs later martin back in the pits. Now oil pressure since tet rouge, and oil just about to catch fire.
About 10 mins left on the clock to the end of the race. Still we beat several million pounds of cars and even Derek Bell !!!
All 4 drivers got to race, in 2010 they were sat in the bar without a race licence between them !!
