964RS Wins Britcar 24 hour!

[964RS]

Word on the street is that a 964RS won its class in the Britcar 24hr at the weekend and came 10th overall!!!

But that's only half of it.....

Rumour is the race car engine blew in qualifying and a certain Mr Henry Firman lent the team the engine from his personal 964RS!!!

When you recover and have had some sleep "H" I'd love to hear the story first hand......

A huge congratulations to john, piers and to andy and the boys at fearnsport for an amazing achievement. HenryF is a top man for lending them an engine as I know they had major problems with theirs on Friday and Fearnsy did the engine swap. Would be interested to know more. regards and respect Graeme

Henry's not daft. Part of the engine loan agreement is that its returned freshly rebuilt following the race. I'd have loaned an engine on that basis.

Fantastic result and goes to show with the right drivers and a car as well accomplished as the 15 year old RS you can achieve a very respectable result in endurance racing.

I found some photos of the drivers of Car 54

I saw that he'd found a spare decal to lend to them as well...

Did Henry offer a buy back residual on the 964RS after the event

964rs finishing 9th overall! 1st in class, what an outstanding achievment. The car looked awesome through the complex after bridge. Andy D, Piers, Jimmy and Gregor did the car proud and a great job by your man for getting that engine out and another back in for the evening test/qualifying! Remove your hats......!
