Thought you guys might like to see these funny little french cars racing in the 24Hr race this last weekend at Snetterton.

I'd done the race twice before in 2003 and 2009 and had hooked up with Team Iceni Racing for the 2011 race.
We only qualified 19th as we had big problems in quali (gearbox change being one) but we def had the pace to be in the top 10.

I started from 19th and by the end of my stint had us up to 8th position.

This is the start of the race and first few laps.

And here is the crash with 75mins to go which cost us 7th place.

And a couple of earlier videos from Practice/Quali

Haha, love the G meters on the video :)

Looks great fun - how much does something like that cost to do?

You can generally buy a 25% drive in this race for around £1,500 which includes about an hour of testing, day & night quali and 6hrs of the 24hrs driving.

lol. fair play, didn't richard hammond do this a couple of years back?

Yea, he, the stig (Ben Collins) and the Fastest Faith 'Rasta' guy did it in 2003 when I also did it, they were great sports and I think the Rasta guy has done it every year since.
