Britcar update: Hours 3-4

Posted 20th September 2008 by David Cooke

Mark Sumtper leads the field with four hours gone; the Paragon Porsche 997 leads the Strakka Racing BMW M3 by 58 Seconds. ‘The Tour’ is following Strakka Racing throughout the weekend as we are being looked after well by the team - the car is currently in second overall and looking strong. Topcat Racing’s Marcos Mantis and Mosler are running third and fourth respectively but over a lap down on second. Team Eurotech ditched there Ascari for a Porsche this weekend but maybe regretting that decision as it has pulled off the circuit at Club with a reported gearbox problem.

The cars are well into the night now and the partying begins for the The Tour. Keep up with live timing on www.tsl-timing.com.

We are off now and will report all the action again in the morning. Please keep your E-Mails coming in to studio@thetour.org.uk.

At the end of Hour 4 the top five are:
1. No 6 Paragon Porsche
2. No 26 Strakka Racing
3. No 29 Topcat Racing Marcos Mantis
4. No 4 Topcat Racing Mosler MT900
5. No 20 Autocar Aston Martin N24
