The 2010 Professional Motorsport World Expo 24 hour 2CV race has been won by the 'Rent Boys Racing' team, who completed 738 laps in 24 hours!
The car, driven by Alec Graham, Meyrick Cox and Nick Paton, and crewed by the Tete Rouge team, finished 4 laps ahead of their stablemates in the Tete Rouge 2 car, which completed 734 laps and was driven by Tony Robinson, Lewis Hopkins and Peter Haynes.
Team Stinky (Neil Thompson, Christine Thompson, Neil Savage and Chris Yates) joined them on the podium in 3rd place another 4 laps down, having completed 730 laps.
You can see an excellent video news feature of the race, by ITV Anglia, by clicking here.
Motor Sport magazine also produced a video feature on the race: click to see it.
Reuters have also produced some amazing video footage, which can be seen here at the Sydney Morning Herald site, and here at the BBC site.
All 26 cars that took the start also finished the race, despite some of the teams enduring lengthy pit stops for repairs. The safety car was deployed for a total of only 8 laps, which is something of an achievement in a 24 hour race!
Images from Friday testing and qualifying are here. A gallery of pictures from the race are available here. Another gallery from Iceni Racing's Doug Scott is available here.
Nick Roads has compiled some footage from his car, which was using a Video VBOX system: here. A video of the cars coming back into the pits (from Neil McDonald) is here.
