Scutineering

MG Lola EX257 - scrutineering Le Mans City Centre

Jonny Kane in qualifying

Four of the Xpower girls asked to meet a good-looking member of the team who could explain things about motor racing and Le Mans.  We found this professional impersonator to stand in for one of the drivers.......who then offered personal tuition

The team has tried hard over ten weeks to get Buzz McGarrity to take his work seriously and get Julian Bailey to smile, both without success.  This Xpower girl achieved both aims in less than 5 minutes.......and got Buzz's hair to stand on end at the same time........

Its only ten short hard weeks since we first had the car, now its the start of the race..........

In the race, at the one hour mark, rain is heavy on parts of the circuit

Its seriously wet now though

Leaving the competition behind....the Car 34 reaches 3rd overall for a short time

The two cars line astern at the 3 hr mark for a brief while

Mark in the race around midnight

More bad weather before the break of dawn

It looks as if the race is over for us - gloomy faces at 0430

The MG Team know how to party and our sponsors know how to look after us - Mark, Julian and Mike Mills test the OSH, again and again from 1600 Sunday!  The MG/OSH relationship is interesting - click here to link to the OSH site.
