Well that race almost went better than I thought, qualified 10th on the grid, and had an okay start, dropped to 11th and had Sheldon chasing me for the next two or three laps, for some reason I had some spare couple of MPH when he got close enough the car would go from 205-212 on the straight. I guess I was braking just right as he couldn't make a pass for the corners, and then he spun on the curb at the slow right at the end of the long straight. Not sure who I picked up after they recovered from a spin, but they were on me until we got to the porsche curves, and the sun was setting.
I think I may have lost my splitter a couple of laps in (at least that's what it looked like on the replay, or that was someone else's flying up at the start finish line), although my car wasn't showing damage, the front tyres were dropping down into the low 50's, had a couple of close calls in the night, and then on the penultimate lap, the car under steered into the steel posts at the start finish line, but I was able to keep it going and finish in 7th, damage didn't effect top speed.
I think that's the best finish I have had at Lemans since we started racing this track for the last few seasons.
