Last weekend saw us back out with the Peugeot and the crew, this time tackling the Silverstone GP Circuit with the for the Club Enduro and Roadsports endurance races. 🏁
After discussions with the scrutineers regarding the car’s minimum weight, some ballast was added to put us just over the figure we’d been advised to meet, and qualifying got underway.
Henry got straight to work and, despite being surrounded by some seriously quick machinery, put in a mega effort to secure P1 in class. 👊
Come race time for the 45-minute Roadsports encounter, a grid of over 60 cars made for a hectic rolling start and Henry found himself a little boxed in. Undeterred, he fought his way back through the pack and into 3rd in class, rapidly closing on 2nd place with just a few laps remaining.
Unfortunately, disaster struck when a driveshaft failed, damaging the differential and wheel bearing, effectively leaving the car as a one-wheel-drive machine for the closing laps. Somehow Henry still managed to bring it home in 3rd place. 💪
To make matters even more frustrating, post-race scrutineering resulted in a disqualification for being underweight — despite the car being at the weight we had been advised to run. To add insult to injury, the car that finished ahead was later disqualified for failing ride-height checks, making it a particularly tough pill to swallow. 🤷🏻♂️
The damage from the driveshaft failure unfortunately proved too extensive to repair at the circuit, with replacement parts proving difficult to source in time for Sunday’s race. The decision was made to focus on getting the car ready for its next outing instead.
The Peugeot is already back on the ramp with parts ordered and the team hard at work to make sure it’s ready for this weekend’s Production Cup. 🔧🏁
