Pit Stop practice with team Lester-Evans 🛑
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our crew are ready and waiting for the COVID call up to buzz wheel nuts for the young guy “Jason" @jaxonevans_ in 🇧🇭 this weekend 🛠️🔩⚙️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@jlewarrior has done away with the airjack lance and is instead lifting the car by hand, while Bo 🐶 may be small, but in practice he's been a bandit on the left-front. We're brimming with confidence, and we are READY 🤜🤛

Even when you're out of the race after only 15 min

Even when you're out of the race after only 15 minutes, it's hard to stay mad with that @highlandsnz backdrop 🌄👌
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We found our feet come race day after struggling for balance and speed during practice, qualifying first of the non-GT3 cars and settling into sixth for the first stanza of the race - the third of a four-car #Audi train among a trio of R8 GT3s 🚗🚗🚙🚗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I stroked it round looking after the front tyres (a necessity with the Highlands surface becoming much more abrasive with age) and our speed and decisiveness in traffic allowed the DFM machine to hold onto the GT3 pack.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not long into the race though, I became stuck in 2nd gear on the infield straight which approaching the exciting bridge section... 😳😭
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We boxed and changed drivers while the crew feverishly checked over the internals to see if there was something we could do at short notice, then send Matt out to begin the fight back. Unfortunately, there wasn't.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the heat of the moment I was pissed off, more than anything because I was having an absolute ball out there and another couple of hours cutting through traffic in the battle pack would have been a real treat! We showcased the potential of the Audi V8 but there's a long road ahead to consistently take it to the factory machinery.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thankfully, I won't need to wait until next winter endurance season for another crack, with DFM planning some sprint outings over the summer months as we continue developing the car to make it not only faster, but more reliable too - which is 🗝 to a successful future in long distance racing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thanks to Dave, Karen, Matt and all the crew for their hard work and enthusiasm, which I know will pay off in the not too distant future 🔮😊

We gave it a nudge yesterday. Our plan for 2021 is already in action, and you can expect to see a lot more of our Audi V8 in the coming months 👀

Highlands has become fairly abrasive over the year

Highlands has become fairly abrasive over the years so we'll be tyre saving throughout today's 3hr race 😌
