Glad to hear you got engine sorted Marcus!
Hot in Europe means even hotter at Dijon- we saw 37.5 C yesterday pm. Free practice for 60s Endurance was first thing, so relatively cool. SLR was fine, so drivers did minimum laps. CER1 was straight after, but unfortunately the B8 lost oil after a dry sump system issue. Believe it or not the French mobile race parts van had a pump and so ace young engineer Simon (Foxcraft) nicked the necessary bits off the new one and got the car running again. However, concerns that the shells may have suffered during the brief time pressure was lost led to a sensible decision to withdraw the car.
60s Endurance qualifying (58 entries!) late pm was busy and very hot. Cars at back of queue in pit lane didn't get out until first cars had done first lap.... SLR eventually got a clean lap and got class pole 19th O/A. It then started to lose fuel pressure, and when session red flagged again decided good enough. General concensus is that problem could be 'boiling' petrol, but are working though filters etc as well. Also going to wrap fuel lines in engine area with foil. Cooler and cloudy this morning, so maybe won't be a problem in race late today!
Oh, and good to hear the Stevens family 356 sounding healthy after Bill put all the plug leads on!
BTW the Northern 'bypass' round Dijon is now open and makes life a lot easier! 4.5m height bridge but don't think that would be a problem for most....
