80 minutes & reckon he's covered some 65.312km or 40.82 miles Sideways

75mins was Si's target, so he's even more relaxed that he's done it & will do on until fuel runs out hopefully.

Wahay.....it's back at last

Well done Simon!!!!! I'd hate to say what Neil, Ian & Ady have been saying about him while he's been doing it

Only kidding

Thanks Neil, Ian & Ady for the constant updates by phone while scoobynet was down

Cool

Finally scraped myself out of bed & had some brekkie, I thought that I might have missed it all (meant to get up at 9am), but its gr8 to see that Si is still going strong and that the car is lasting well too.

Tell Simon he's doing a much better job than our boys in Hockenheim at the moment - keep it up! He can drive for us any day

Big thanks to PTMW, Ian Watkins and everyone else involved in this too - some serious organisation going on here and we can just veg at home and keep up to date with it all. Superb

Any idea on a number for how much you guys are raising?

Cheers
Richard

A lap is approximately 29.5 seconds, so 2 a minute x 90 = 180 Probably 200 by now That is one heck of a consistant drive

OK folks - coming up to 2 hours!!!

A lap is 408 metres & he's doing 2 of those every minute (& an extra one every 60 laps). He's been going for 2 hours that makes 244 laps Thats 99.55 km he's travelled or 62.22 miles

Message to Roadrunner from Mark @ Tyres Northampton

"Guess you won't be buying that dial just yet... "

To quot Roadrunner...

"Nope, not me, zip I haven't done so yet.
I gather the attempt is to beat 15 mins. Therefore I'll pledge £20 for the first 15 mins, thereafter I'll add another £2 to every minute achieved past 15. If you reach 20mins I'll add another £10 as well.

Simon, once you smash the world record remember you can take it easy , there is no point in annihilating the record so that nobody else can have a cats chance in beating yours...mainly cos I don't fancy sitting down with my bank manager saying the reason why I need a loan is to pay for my pledge

All the best

rr "



Now currently thats.... £230 - Thanks rr
