saw it live on eursport, i was gutted, it went well off into the wall, top it HARD on the the right rear quater, doubt it can get back to the pits, the rear right wheel is SERVERELY hanging off, the best thing barf could probably do is get out of the car and try and pull the remains of the wheel off, its very badly damaged, great shame. Hopefully he can get it back.

Oh no! #92 reported to have lost drive round the back of the circuit, going very slowly.

Exactly - respect to the man in the St Ives van ! Spurn the man who hath the engineering talent and campaign history and knowledge "because of course we know better"

Veryplast Cerbera still the only TVR to successfully complete a 24 hrs. Congratulations once again.

One day Ted I'll pour all my vitriol out about this story.

Well they beat one of the Audi`s imagine going there then getting put out because you tryed to stretch a tank of fule 1/2 a lap to far

As the where saying on Eurosport news
" Audi can change a gearbox in very quick time , pity they cant re-fuel on time"

must be absolutly heartbreaking to go out like that , and i guess heads will be rolling

I thought the Audi was going to pit but a slower car got in the way causing him to miss the pit entry and go round again - but if this is the case, why didn't he just go round slowly to save fuel?!?

Didn't the blue/green Rollcentre Tuscan R complete the Suzuka 24hrs some years ago ?

Or was that in a Mosler?
