Why was the reliability so bad (only 2 finishers in SR1 !), I thought these cars were good for 24hrs !!! I know a bit hot, but ....???
Also, what weight is the DBA running at compared with the other SR1's, its clearly the quickest car ou there. |

The DBA probably runs at the same weight as in the 675 class at Le Mans or ALMS- although I believe it is a fair bit over the class minumum anyway.
I believe Jan Lammers has apparently had a few words to say on this subject recently (can't remember where it was reported- DSC at a guess)- something to the effect that this may give the DBA an unfair edge in FIASSC races.... |

Official word is that the DBA weighed "over 800kg". That's the weight of a Gp.C car. And it still would have whooped Lammers' arsenal.

I've been searching the usual sites where full results and race accounts are posted, but haven't seen anything yet
( I don't subscribe to dailysportscar.com) Can anyone steer me to a site that has posted the full results, an account of the race, or both... If any of our UK members actually went to the race, please share with us your own impressions, info, etc...what kind of problems the varios SR1 cars had, who ran well (while they ran anyway), was there good dicing and/or racing action, etc. Sounds like the race was a struggle to survive, which is unusual in a 2 fr. 30 min. event.... |
