Double Digits!

99th, to be exact. 217 net laps, 232 overall. The leaders managed 300, so a big gap to make up in future races, but celebration in Wonderland tonight for a clean race.

103rd

40 minutes left. Definite chance to make double digits. One of the teams immediately in front of us got pulled into the penalty box.

Last Stint

Jerrit's back in the car to close out the race. Should get a position report soon.

105th

Randy's stint picked up two more places. We're close to a bunch of teams, but can we lap them?

Last refuel

Randy brought it in. Nicolai going out. Just under two hours left.

Rocky few hours

We went from 109th to 107th, down to 115th, and now back to 107th.

Finished a stint

I was in the car for an hour. Lost all sense of time and couldn't get any reception on the radio. Got bumped a few times, but still no penalties.

109

Contributing our 7 spot per hour climb.

Fuel stop

Jerrit came in early because we were out of gas. Calista is now in.

116th

Two hours into sunday and we're 14 places up. Oleg put up some fast laps, including a 2:12. Jerrit is in now.

Day 2 Begins

Green flag just dropped. Oleg is taking the first stint again. Much dryer than it was this time yesterday. The plan is to take longer stints today so we spend less time on driver changes.

130th

At the end of day 1. Didn't go off the track and didn't get black flagged, and the car still works. Positive result.

60 laps (net)

Just came back from my second stint. Spent the first half under yellow and the second screwing up down shifts. Now in 140th place with Randy behind the wheel, and his last lap was a team best.

Raining again

It started raining just as Oleg went out for his second stint. There was a bad wreck in corner 4, so they may be bypassing a big chunk of the course while they sort it out. Jerrit's out there now, which means I'm up next, probably in about 40 minutes.

Climbing the Ranks

After another hour, we're all the way up in 151st.

Nicolai out, Calista in

And with that all out drivers have had a stint.

+10

According to the hour 3 printout, we're at +10 net laps, which means 25 gross. Just 28 behind the leader.

Full Course Yellow

The whole track has been under caution for a while, so we're neither gaining nor losing ground, except against the teams that aren't on the track. On the plus side, the track is drying out, so the risk of going off is much lower.

We're in the positives!

We got 15 penalty laps for getting a good deal on our car, and we've definitely done more than that now. That puts us ahead of a bunch of teams who didn't start. That still puts us in 150th place or so.

Done my first stint

I think I did 4 laps. Everyone was passing me, and I never saw them coming. I down shifted once when I tried to up shift. I got some oversteer st the exit of 9a. But I didn't go off or get flagged, so it was a successful shift

Oleg out, Jerrit in

We're doing short stints to start until we know what our endurance level is going to be.

Barely a minute in

Someone spun out on the main straight.

Green Flag

The race is on!

Here it is, in all its about to go through tech inspection glory.

Early report from Infineon

It's raining off and on, and as a result my shoes and socks are wet. I'm drying them off with my car heater while recharging my phone. Have seen very few people in costume.
