The Tete Rouge team have won the 2009 Fine Print Professional MotorSport World Expo 24hr 2CV race! The "Tete Rouge 1" car, carrying the number 1 in the race, crossed the line after 24 hours of racing, completing 566 laps of the 1.95 mile Snetterton circuit in Norfolk.

Driven by David O'Keeffe, Phil Myatt, Gary Adnitt, and Sammie Fritchley, the Tete Rouge 1 car was only 2 laps ahead of the second place car, the number 9 Green Electrician car, which was driven by Simon Pearson, Paul Taylor, Mike Storey and Matt Riley. In third place was Team FinePrint, crewed by Martin Harrold, Ed Straw, Said Baloui, and Carl Breeze - 4 laps behind the leaders.

Now remember, qualifying 2 takes place just after qualifying 1, but well before race 1, so now the conditions on the track were slippery again. But the sun was out, and it was tempting to push that little bit harder. First to realise this was not a good idea was Hollis, who got away with what could have been a very nasty incident thanks to the edge of the gravel trap at Druids, which slowed him sufficiently to rejoin. Myatt, the crazy fool that he is, tried to take the first corner in 4th gear (which is fine in the dry but not so good in the wet) and off he went into the barrier. But Myatt, the lucky guy that he also is, managed to get back on the track though he didn't really need to, having already set the quickest time! Second was Neil Thompson (taking over once again from wife Christine), ahead of Wilkinson, Turner (in Brocklebank's car), Robinson in a new career best 5th, Panas (taking over from Cowling) and Hindley.

Just a few weeks after Cadwell Park, the 2CV Racing circus set up camp at Oulton Park in Cheshire. Last year the event had been dominated by three people - Pete Sparrow, Mark Turner and Phil Myatt. The latter would be looking to dominate again this year, whilst Turner would have to make do with just the one race, again sharing driving duties with club chairman Aubrey Brocklebank. Sparrow meanwhile wasn't racing at all. But there were plenty of other drivers that would be hoping to claim the spoils in the races that could make or break their chances.

Rewind a few hours before the first race had started and you would have witnessed the second qualifying session. Following his engine trouble in the first session, Derek Coghill had to sit this one out, immediately placing him 19th and last on the grid. At the sharp end it was Steve Panas who managed to secure pole position despite ending his qualifying in the barriers at the bottom of the Gooseneck after an off-track excursion. Fortunately the damage was not so severe as to prevent him from racing. Joining him on the front row was Sammie Fritchley (in place of Myatt), who must have been hoping for another sniff at victory after her performance at Mallory.
