Well after a long 24hrs Adam finishes his first 24hr Endurance Kart race. An absolutely amazing event that attracted drivers from the USA and France. With over 30 of Portugal's best Karters and racers from all categories the event was always going to be tough.
The event was extremely difficult and after being placed 8th out of the field of 31 Karts at the 5th hr mark trouble hit when Adam went out on his first driving stint and ran out of fuel. This not only caused a huge delay but then in the panic Adam received a stop go penalty for speeding in the pit lane.
The team never really recovered and obtained damage to the karts Chassis at the 10th hour and after hr 11th were placed last and 60 laps down on the leader!!
The team recovered to only 4 laps behind at the end of the event. Although not the best final result it was an amazing experience to be able to driving around such a great track with the team trying there best to accommodate Adam and his well, Lack of Portuguese.
The team are already planning the 2008 event! |
