Nick took over from Jonny Kane in the #21 LMP1 car at 10pm, but was held at the pit exit as the Safety Car was out on track. Yet despite understeer caused by cold front tyres, Nick held on to the Rebellions in the battle for LMP1 Privateers’ honours.
“That was quite a tough stint,” admitted Nick.
“I was held at the pit exit because of the Safety Car and all the temperature dropped from the tyres. From then on it was an uphill struggle, because I just couldn’t get the temperature back into our new wide front tyres. It was a case of survival and keeping the car on the track, which we did in pretty good shape – although it wasn’t the most enjoyable stint!
“Our overall pace isn’t quite that of the Rebellion’s, but we continue to push. We’re still going strong and there is a long way to go, and the aim is to be here at the finish.”
