0,1/0,0/0,0/0,1/0,0/0,0
No, this isn’t binary code…
These are H2R’s #157 penalty points in RCN-GLP #5, depicting a total of 0,2 seconds difference between reference and confirmation laps overall !
Hard work finally paid off and the team reached the highest step of the podium in the Rookie category!
But that’s not all! Not only did H2R win in the Rookie class, the team would also obtained a better score than the winner of the Advanced class for this event!
This result translated in a P9 (out of 96) overall, enough to consolidate P2 in the season standings and to put a bright smile on the driver’s faces.
The team and the car behaved all too well for this 5th event, so much that there is little to write (and complain) about ! Still, this top result did not come effortlessly.
After witnessing the total vanishing of rear brake pads in the previous event, Driver #1 transformed into Mechanic #1 for a brief moment and restored car #157 to its former “brakes all around” glory.
This meant technical inspection went smoothly, aside from the unusual request to “open the boot” which uncovered enough equipment to swap the engine altogether and was greeted with “please close this before anyone else sees it” from the (kind) technical inspector.
After an all-too-familiar start of the day at 6:00am the following morning, the team was given a proper welcome by the Eifel region on their way to the track, as if nature wanted to give H2R a glimpse of its beauty during a 24h race…
Once both drivers regained their concentration following this obscene display of natural sexiness, it was time to hit the track!
Corner after corner the car behaved flawlessly, and despite a self-inflicted scare on fuel usage, all laps driven were enjoyed to the maximum by both drivers.
All good things must come to an end, and it was with high expectations that the team waited for the results…Which, if you read above, did not disappoint!
Once again H2R is immensely grateful to its sponsors, TherapyLift, ABCO, and an undisclosed philanthropist.
The team is looking forward to further rewarding their trust by continuing to fight for the top step of the podium and for “bombastic” results according to RCN-GLP’s committee.
