It was a great finish for the team as we were able to grab 5th position in the closing hour of the race which enabled us to score great team and championship points considering that we were hit by another car during the race which forced us to stop for 11 laps..

5th position in the class was enough to grab 8th overall in the race. Although the team is devasted and disapointed that we weren't able to finish in a podium position, we are still pleased to have pulled together to finish the race and give it such a big team effort.

I'll post an official release on the website soon.. I am seriously about to fall asleep, struggling even to keep my eyes open as I type this! The bed has never looked so good!!

Thanks to all the friends and fans who followed the progress of the race right here on my website...

Nothing too much has changed in the race.. We suffered some brake problems and lost some laps again, so we have had to chase our way back up again...Closing in on 6th place but maybe not fast enough...

We will keep pushing hard! We are currently lying in 12th overall in the race...I will drive one more stint near the end of the race...Lets hope we get to the finish becaue a finish is still good...but of course there is still disappointment as we have fallen behind from fighting for the win..
15.5 hrs...

We have just come out of the night and the sun is shining, unlike the rain we had earlier on in the race...

We made it through the night trouble free since the earlier crash and have managed to climb back up a few positions...

We still continue to struggle with the handling in the car, but there is nothing we are going to be able to do about it except drive it like it is! Our team is still pushing hard to try to climb back into the top 5.....

We've moved from 9th position back to 7th but we still have alot of laps to catch up from the others...Time to take a nap before my next stint...

The race got off to a decent start for the team today... We have been suffering handling problems right from the start of the race so it has made the job difficult for all the drivers on Prospeed.

After my stint on the 6th hour, I passed off the car back to Westbrook... He had good pace and was catching up to 3rd place... but as he headed into the last turn, a Maserati GT1 over ambitiously tried to overtake him and hit him hard on the right rear suspension.

The car was heavily damaged on the rear suspension..However, the team did a fantastic job and managed to change the entire right rear suspension in 20 min and after losing 10 laps, the car was back on track...

There is 16 hrs remaining in the race..i'm going to try and get some rest before my next stint...We currently lie in 22nd position overall and 9th in the GT2 category.
Driver change practice that went wrong!
