the race and immediately moved the car into the lead. With Aaron
and Nigel working exceptionally well, the team dominated the race and
overcame
a few minor problems to win their class comfortably and finish
in a stunning 6th place overall.
Aaron, who drove for nearly 4 hours of the 5 hour race said, " This
result is fantastic for the team who have worked so hard over the past
weeks. I drove 2 very long stints and feel pretty tired now, however
the car was good and we could be consistent throughout the race. Thanks
to Nigel too as he also drove a very good stint. We are all looking
forward to the rest of the season. "

first Britcar and the 3 hour Production S1 Class races.

comfortably lead the class 3 pack.
