Hi all,

I've received a report on what went on during the 2009 24hr from Mary Lindsay of Inworth Racing - thanks Mary! - which I will duly post on the website soon.

Has anyone else got reports of what their team suffered/achieved during this year's race?

Any mechanical breakdowns? Embarrassing problems (like leaving the handbrake on)? Driver catastrophes? Acts of God (or the Clerk of the Course!)?

I know that Crossways Academy (car 60) must have an epic story of triumph over adversity, and Tete Rouge and FinePrint probably have a few tales to tell of their particularly sweet victory this year.. What about the rest of you?

You can either send me your story by replying here, or by sending me a private message (click the top right corner of your screen where it says "you have x messages") or by sending an e-mail to webmaster @ 2cvracing.org.uk

Likewise, if you can send your reports to [email protected] then it makes writing Snails Pace a lot easier, thanks!

Mary Lindsay

Hi Matt, I have sent my information to you although I am sure that there are many more exciting stories to tell than ours.

Thanks for the input I've received so far on this! I've had contributions from:

Mary Lindsay,
Nick Roads,
Glen Finn / Helen Deeley,
'Roo' from Flat Twin.

and their reports have been posted to: http://www.2cvracing.org.uk/racereports/88-2009-24hr-team-reports - some edits were done, let me know if corrections need to be made!

Now, where are the reports from the rest of you? :)

I've also updated the lead news item on the front page of the website (http://www.2cvracing.org.uk/news/81-teterouge-2009-win) with the race report kindly provided by Professional MotorSport World Expo, and also an article written by ace pit-lane reporter Jon Waldock - both are very informative and highly entertaining!

Let me know if there are any other reviews or reports that we can include on that page.

Derek Coghill

There's a report of sorts in your inbox.....

Chris Yates

Ok, thank you to:

Derek from Rambo,
Mick from Green Electrician,
Kars from Flying Dutchmen

For your reports - very enlightening! :)
