Hope this is OK with the mods here but thought it worth setting up a thread which collates all of the various onboard, external and highlight videos from the race.

I was in the Team Iceni #60 car. Disappointing as it was for us with numerous engine and related problems I still enjoyed this event immensely. I had my usual SD (standard def) multi-cam setup in the car, running 2 cameras and telemetry, unfortunately some issue meant we didn't get GPS data during the race so no speed or laptime data available.

I also had a GoPro HERO3 camera in the car but only captured some of the sessions as was using internal battery power and max duration is 1hr26mins.

Haven't really looked at any video from the race yet but will do over the coming days and will no doubt prep and upload a few more if time allows.

These were done during the event....

PS. Some vocalisation in clip 4, can't really hear what I said, something along the lines of "flipping heck" :)

As i've uploaded a few videos from the race, mostly onboard, I thought i'd start a specific thread to contain video links.

I'll kick off with this one to give everyone some idea what it was like to drive during the huge downpour we had around 3am. This video has the last racing lap before the Safety Car was called and the last lap under the Safety Car before the race was red flagged.

More videos on that channel and more coming soon.

Driver (Car #60, Team Iceni)

Have posted a few videos up already on my channel but this is from the last 75mins.

With 75mins to go we were in a comfortable 7th place, 8 laps ahead of the next chasing car and no more stops required. Team Manager and 24Hr veteran Greg Page was in the car when he got punted mercilessly into the gravel at Murrarys by Car 17, one of the European cars. Having had electrical/charging problems all race we were now just running on battery power and there was just not enough juice to start the car so we ended up being towed back losing time and with the associated penalty.

Here is the video

Whilst posting I would just like to say what a fabulous event this was and what a great bunch of people the Iceni team were. I'd only secured the drive a few weeks before and realised at about 6am why I love this race and will def be back next year.

Also thanks to all the other competitors, their drivers, teams & helpers, the officials, marshals and everyone else who helped with or attended the event.

This is a serious enquiry.

We are looking for a company/group who are interested in preparing & running 2 cars for the 2CV 24Hr race in August.

* These could be existing cars that you rent out or "new builds" specifically for the race.
* We are looking for field 8 drivers across 2 cars for the event plus would require the cars and support for a test/trackday beforehand.
* At present we have 12 drivers who have expressed a strong interest and who would have sufficient funds, we are therefore confident that we will have 8 confirmed drivers.
* We were gearing up for the 2008 event but felt we had left it too late to get the thing sorted properly.
* I have raced in the 24hrs previously (in 2003) with Team Stinky plus competed in many other 24hr races, the rest of the drivers will be relative novices and certainly will have not driven a 2CV before.
* We are not looking for a "budget option". We realise that to build/prep the cars, carry the spares and provide support is not cheap.

At this stage we are just looking for contact from interested companies or individuals.

Obviously we would prefer someone who has previous 2CV 24hr experience.

Please drop me an email if you think you can help, perhaps detailing very briefly your experience. My email address should be visible in my profile.

Many Thanks
