Team Gadget have won the 2008 Stingray 24hr 2CV race, held at Snetterton circuit in Norfolk, over the weekend of the 10/11th August!

The win was described by circuit commentator Alan Hyde as a masterful performance from the team, with the number 2 car completing 706 laps of the 1.95 mile course before taking the chequered flag. Their nearest competitor, the Tete Rouge 1 / Myatts.co.uk car finished 9 laps behind (a close finish after 24hrs of racing!), and the 'Green Electrician' team finished in 3rd, a further 4 laps behind the 2nd place car.

Race two started with Phil Myatt in pole position, complete with pink wheels on the front of the car, and blue wheels on the back. Paul Robertson later explained that these were borrowed from Zoe's car, but personally I think Phil was just showing his soft side. The skies were overcast, it was noticably colder than the first race, and the race meeting was running nearly an hour late after a series of red flag incidents in the other races of the day. The 2CV races were later commended by the circuit commentators for providing close action without the need for the organisers to bring out the red flags!

Despite dire forecasts of rain all weekend, the sun was shining over the picturesque circuit of Oulton Park, as the 2CV championship headed into Cheshire for races 5 and 6.

Most went through qualifying without problem, but Aubrey Brocklebank experienced some battery charging issues and didn't qualify in the second session. Trevor Williams also had reduced running in session 1, completing only 3 laps, and didn't take part in session 2 at all.
