With Hybrid's being slightly overlooked this weekend as our main team's efforts were focused on Le-man. The racing got quite exciting for our Triple Eight drivers. Sylvain Vessier had a great weekend having shown some really strong pace throughtout practice he managed to translate that early on to a solid 5th in qualifying, Keira Harris' car was unfortunately down the lower end of the field, just unable to find the pace she had shown in practice which wold have put her up the grid a bit further.
Roaring down to Turn 1 and 2 the cars remained close, with several making contact, Sylvain took advantage and slotted into 2nd place where he would stay for serveral laps until a mistake cost him that position and he darted into the pits. Keira had to pit on lap 1 after getting up to around 11th or 12th place due to the carnage towards the rear of the grid.
Sylvain begun a brilliant recovery drive and managed to get up to 4th again before having to pit again and dropping down to 11th . Keira's determination would see her finish last of the classified runners down in 14th. Both drivers showed real grit needed to succeed in sim racing and can only improve with each race weekend.
It's an unfortunate result that does not reflect how good the performances were, especially where Sylvain was concerned.
