after much umming and arring, i've finally decided to tackle the sarthe, in my Bentley Speed 8, heres how it's going so far;
Laps 1-3, epic battle with another guy in a speed 8, manged to get away by about 10 seconds as I pit on lap 5
Pit again on lap 10, before having to suspend on 12 due to forgetting i have to meet friends, so this messes up my strategy, and when i return, I drop to 3rd behind the other speed 8 and a pescarolo hybride.
1st suspension-lap 12 position 1st, about 34 seconds ahead
Retake lead on lap 19, but lose again because of mad pistops.
Starts raining on lap 23, and a tire misjudgement from me drops me back again.
2nd suspension at lap 29, position-2nd, about 42 seconds back
Retake lead again on lap 34, and pull away steadily until I get a lap in hand over 2nd place bentley on lap 48.
3rd suspension at lap 55, position-1st, 1 lap ahead
enjoy, more updates to follow
