he did, or someone in his car did? Impressive nonetheless, beating the works prepared Astras from the race camp. Only one of those saw the checkered flag too. And I guess the Scirroco that did the overall FWD record was a CNG one.
Chris did. He was 6 seconds faster than anyone in the SP 3T class and just as fast as the factory team Scirocco's who are actually one class higher than him. Well impressive indeed.. Not to mention the fact that he did that time twice; one on old tyres and the second with new tyres, but a stock turbo instead of the race tuned one.. Should even be a bit more in it!
Attached a shot I took with my crappy camera at nightfall. Marc Gassner should have some much better ones!
very cool. I saw that his team was up the place 32 or something before that turbo failure. Is he racing in the other VLN races too? I may (finally) be able to watch the next race at the track (I want to attend, give a some thousands of € and I'll build me a racecar, so many possibilities .. a rally kit car ...)
Listening to Radio Le Mans when it came back onto track, one commentator took notice that there were 2 different women on the car taking the others by surprise that he'd noticed.
