"27 Cor Euser/Jan De Wit/Peter v/d Kock Marcos Mantis "

Oh no, he's back!!

I would question the number of drivers in the number 29 car - I know all four of them - Michael, Sean, Mac and Ernie <roflmao>

If Mrs Cor approaches you clutching a large cup of coffee FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE DON'T REFUSE IT! When Mrs Cor says "you WILL have coffee" it's not a request <roflmao>

Last year in the Dutch Supercar race we had a rather nasty startlline shunt on a rolling start. I went through 3 flags in about 15s.

I see, I shall bear that in mind if I am in the pits on Friday

Just remember to smile sweetly and say "Dank U Val" <whistle>

Is that Dutch?

Yes it is Ed, and accurate Dutch at that.

Amazing what you can learn from a couple of days in Amsterdam! <roflmao>

it took me 2 2 week trips to figure out what that meant!

Te Koop!

As is my wont, when I went to Amsterdam, I found a friendly local (in my case the barman at the hotel) to teach me a few stock phrases in the language of the country.

I thought the Silverstone 24hrs was how long the traffic jams were before and after the F1 GP?

<think>

Must have missed that this year,was away within 20 minutes of leaving (left at 5pm) <thumbsup>

<think> I'm sure they accidently missed out including Marshals in that statement though <whistle> <roflmao>

And I'm back. As always a great time, just need to sleep now.

The winners were the Duller Z4M crew who won by an astonishing 29 laps in what was an almost faultless 24hrs. 2nd place again went to the Rollcentre Mosler and 3rd to the Paragon Porsche.

Top Gear battled technical woes and accident damage to finish 39th overall and 3rd in class.

Any questions regarding the race or finishing order?

How long was the fog about for ?
How many 'STIGS' were there and are you sworn to secrecy ? :D

Fog started to come down just before 0400. Came off post 0430, went to pit office and was in there when the safety car came out at about 0455. Race suspended just before 0530, restarted about 0715.

There were 3 Stigs on the Pit Lane entry list. Only two drove the car, and just Stig-1 drove during the race. The rough identities of the Stigs were known to the pit marshals, so I know roughly who they are. But I can't tell you... Security!

The BBC reported that Hamster crashed. Anything serious?

Nope, slight disagreement between the bmw and a mosler that resulted in a couple of hours work and the left hand door being bolted shut.

Not the high-speed crash that the press are recording then! How many laps did the winning team do?

596, Top gear did 396

Here's a crazy crazy idea...

Why don't we enter a car next year as Team TPL and try and beat Top gear's attempt?

I'm game if you are! I can't really bring any finance to the effort. Nor talent. But I'm enthusiastic! I could nick my Dad's M3...they're always a popular choice in Britcar!

I can't bring any finance either. or really any talent. Don't panic.

I don't think your Dad would appreciate his M3's interior being ripped out and replaced by a load of iron work though!

Would you consider the Silverstone 24 hour race to be tougher than the likes of Le Mans, Spa-Francorchamps or Nurburgring due to the shorter lap and therefore higher concentration levels as they don't have as much time between corners?

Remember that the Nurburgring is held on the Nordschleife - And that gives you no relaxation at all! I would say that that's a tougher race.

Le mans is quite a bit different from everything else - the fact that cars are created purely for the race adds a new element into it, and the fact it's a street race (technically) adds a new dimension of concentration.

Spa is closer to Silverstone, and gets odd weather.

But the great thing about silverstone, is that practically anything goes car wise, same as Nurburgring.

So to answer your question, No - they all have their own challenges, and a successfull finish in all of them is as good as a win.

is it the Nat circuit the 24 hrs is run on or what?

No, the 24 hours is run on the full Grand Prix circuit.

Which is quite definatly not flat, despite what some say.

Silverstone's a circuit which really comes alive with some quick machinery on it; watching slower cars doesn't give you a proper impression of the ferocity of the corners. Le Mans I'd say is similar but it's SO fast. Watching full-house prototypes through the Porsche Curves is something quite special, but then the same could be said of Bridge at Silverstone. The Nordschleife is a unique challenge and must surely be the harshest circuit to build a rhythm up around. I'd love to get to the 24hrs there one day!
