Just got back from the 'Green Hell' after 'spannering' for my friend who were racing their MGB in the 3hr support race.First time I've been there,what an unbelievable place!Unfortunately we missed the start of the 24Hr as we has to travel home :(
Just a brief run down to how the days went.
Friday: Qualifying session,we woke up to this;

Waiting in the pit lane,started to rain at this stage:

On the pitwall in the pouring rain

Went out and did 2 laps and came back in,far to dangerous to qualify in these conditions,better to save the car for the race.
Saturday:
Woke up to brilliant sunshine!Got the car on the grid,posed a little ;)

Unlucky(or lucky) for us the car broke down on the GP circuit,got to the car after crawling under the security fencing,diagnosed it as a faulty rotor arm,ran back to the pits,pick up new rotor,ran back down,fitted,car back in the race but lost 40mins.
All that was left to do was the timed(80secs)driver change(couldn't take photos obviously ;) ) and stand at the pit wall giving out lap times.
