Spar 25 hours 2009 – Race report 2
Team Cuisine de France SPAR had a fantastic race at the Spa 25 hours last weekend ……. but only up to 20 hours!
In 6th overall at 19 hours and leading the UK class by nearly 3 laps, the team then endured heartbreak when the wiring loom overheated, causing electrical failure and dropping the team way down. The team recovered to 59th place by the race finish.
The race drivers, led by Ian Connell, included his son Marc, Frenchman Franck Pelle and Norwegian Lars Berg. The car was run by Solutions racing, with support from Connell racing friends. Ian added:
“It’s been a bitter pill to swallow, having featured so strongly and led the UK class for over 12 hour. We will be back next year”
