Class C winners

1st in Class C · 7th overall · 341 laps · Rain / Wet

Our best weekend yet. Alex Martin put the Mk1 fastest in Class C in day qualifying with a 1:43.793, 8th overall, which is the quickest Class C lap in any of our results. We started the race 6th on the grid.

In the wet, it became a twelve-hour fight with #91 Stuart Humphrey Racing and #22 Operation Motorsport USA. We ran 2nd in class almost every hour through Saturday and Sunday morning. We were leading the class when the race paused for the Remembrance Service and at the ten-hour mark, then 2nd again at eleven hours. When the chequered flag fell, the top three in Class C had all completed 341 laps. We were ahead, 53 seconds clear of #91 after twelve hours, and 7th overall.

Alex did more than a third of the race (133 laps) and set the team's fastest lap, 1:44.209, just 0.07 s off the fastest Class C race lap.
