Last lap at 6:45 hrs into the race was a scorching 1:47.4 in the dark while working thru traffic that is all going 2:0+ laps!!!

Take it easy, guys!

1:45:725(3rd fastest time behind 2 full aero cars) come on i want to see the 1:44 (at daylight).

Car is fast (running permanently 5 sec faster than the next competitor), they seem to loose too much time in the pits.

4.5 hrs more until the finish, and the #18 SL-C Eagle is currently 14 laps off the leader. The leader is the #00 Porsche. It is a very fast race car. The #18 SL-C Eagle will need to start moving up very soon if they want to be matched with the #00 at the finish.

Here is a video from last year's 25hr THill race, with the same #48 Radical that led much of this current race, racing the same #00 Porsche that is now leading. Really fun stuff. The Radical is a SR3 with only a small HP motorcycle engine. You can easily see the mechanical advantage over the Porsche thru the turns and in braking, and then see the Porsche advantage in HP down the straights.

Looks like they are in 2nd, four laps down on the leader with the Porsche (leader) seemingly not moving and an hour to go.

COME ON TEAM!

And another safety car on track,.. so that will end the #18 SL-C's chance. So it should finish 2nd.

The #18 Eagle is finishing the race damaged with rear body parts removed? It should be able to hold onto the 2nd overall position.

A Radical SR3 is quicker than a GT3 RSR on a circuit like this, no contest. Also at circuits like Spa and Silverstone. :D:thumbsup:
