Tequila Racing

Race of Remembrance 2022 · Anglesey

Speed, and a lot of time in the garage

11th in Class C · 48th overall · 253 laps · Cloudy / Dry

Entered as “Tequilla”.

The race went wrong almost immediately. The fuel tank came loose at the start, and fixing it kept the car in the pits for nearly half an hour. At the first hour we were 55th overall and last in class.

From there the team clawed back, moving up to 7th in class and 41st overall by the nine- and ten-hour marks, with well-timed pit stops under safety cars on Saturday. A second long stop on Saturday evening and several shorter ones cost more time. Then, at about 12:58 on Sunday, after 253 laps, the timing belt came off. There wasn't enough time left to re-time the engine and get back out before the flag. We were still classified, 48th overall and 11th in class.
