Well I am sure that block will turn up dandy Sky! )) Keep us posted.

Racing is an addiction my friend! It is close to becoming an obsession! We started 12th overall on the grid and after about 6.5 hours we had completed 135 laps. In our class A, the Honda factory team was then leading (1st and 2nd place) while the 3rd and 4th places were between us and the Lotus Exige team. Our pit stop was much faster than both the Honda and Lotus teams and we figured that we might just clinch podium.
Then, BAAAAM!! I was driving and I was kissing a GT3's ass round a corner and it went BAAAAM! The whole car shook and I klinked klanked my way back to the pit. The rear diff broke!
The Honda finally became overall champion (even topping the open class!) with 260 laps! If you see our 135 laps after about 6.5 hours, we would have been around 260-270 laps after 12 hours! That means podium!

Anyway, next year will be great! We had an ex F1 mechanic as chief crew and a Australian friend (a mathematician) flew from Thailand to be our race director. Both of them are just amazing.
You becoming my crew? Hey, you are always welcome. Perhaps we could make some arrangement next year huh? That will be great man...
