I don't think we had the fastest race lap although our qualifying lap was the fastest of the weekend.
The race went to plan until about 45 minutes when the engine picked up a misfire. This was just after the second safety car period and was probably caused by the slow pace behind the safety car. We were travelling so slowly the engine cooled right down and ran on its warm up cycle! However, we spent ages trying to sort the misfire to no avail and as a last resort we replaced the plugs. I doubted it would work but it did. The car ran faultlessly to the end but by then we had lost 35 or so minutes so we were nowhere - again.
Prehaps I will change plugs more reguraly but they are quite costly - maybe NGK can give them to me!
Cheers and roll on Oulton; our luck must change soon.

Sorry to hear about your plugs, must be painful. You certainly are one of the more exiting cars to watch, apart from the Marcos LM600 that is. I hope your luck changes too so that you can really show what the car can do. Good luck and keep up the good work.
