It was white, but not that bright. The DC5 that came in 3rd had really bright and white lights

Thanks for the pics!

BTW, how often they pit during the 12 hr race? Is it more for fuel/tyres alone or they change them altogether!

if my memory doesn't fail me..
the wrx had about slightly less than an hour's fuel, 20 sets of tyres are provided and not to be exceeded.

not so sure about the tyre change and fuel change because everything's mixed up due to driver change...team strategy.

The teams more or less stopped once per hour. I believe fuel and tires were done at the same time, though I don't think the tires were changed as often as fuel.

It is interesting to note that the top team consistently pitted around 2-3 min (even on the fuel + tires pit ins), whilst just down at around the 10th place team, pit times were around 3-4 minutes for just fuel, and up to 7 min for the fuel + tire ones.

Part of what killed the Amprex M3 results was two 20+ minute stops and one 34+ minute stop. Probably some part failing.

Did the top teams also have those auto jack thingies to hoist the cars up? Cuz the differences between the top teams and the medicore ones were quite a lot!

Cheers

Yes, IIRC the top Porsches had air jacks too

Radical related. Turbo version... 600hp/ton, road tires, road legal in UK and Europe. Broke Nurburgring street car record on the first lap, first try. Very likely can go even faster.

Anyone have around 170K SGD to spare?

dang look what else I dug up. The Gooseneck Elise used only 1 set of tires throughout all 12 hours!
