Budapest 12 Hours

On the 22nd May I participated in the 12 hour endurance race at the F1 circuit in Budapest. 1 car, 2 drivers and 12 hours.

We drove in alternate stints of 90 minutes each, we ran on a very tight budget and I thank the SpeedLover team of Belgium for giving us a great car to work with. This budget meant however that we did not have any luxuries like new tyres!! We did have two new sets, one for qualifying and one at the end of the race because none of the others were in a good shape to continue with.

I started the race from the second position, moved into the lead after 3 hours of racing and we were forced to make a change of brake pads with 5 hours remaining; this lost us some laps to the leaders and we continued with good pace and increased the gap to the third placed car.

We finished after 12 hours in the 2nd position and took our place on the podium.
