Sunday Race Day. Muster was at 4.30am race start at 6.15am. Today hot again 37-38. Track temp got to 65 during the day was a great race with the lead changing a number of times with the first 5 cars all on the lead lap near the end we knew it was going to be close. The first three cars were battling it out for the lead until car 88 FERRARI 458 GT3 won out winning the race after 296 laps and just by 0.4 seconds over the German team in their 84 Mercedes SLS AMG third place going to Erebus in 63 Mercedes SLS AMG. We had a good day with cars going wide and a Porsche getting stuck in sand that I help recover but needed a lift tow.
