Well done Si, what an achievement. Knew you would do it, but 2 hrs 11 mins , that takes the p***.

Well done! (and to everyone else involved).

Can't wait to see the pics.

P.S. Would have followed the record attempt, but my fecking computer wouldn't connect to internet

Fantastic!!!!!!

 

Morning everybody.

Welcome to the thead that's going to follow Simon de Banke's <B>

 

Back up - wahey!!!!

Right

Simon started @ 09.52.17 BST & is still currently going

50 minutes up!

Simon is very relaxed & calm. 29.5 second smooth & consistant laps

Small scare over heating but now back to normal.

 

Webbie steps away from the bbs for a mo and it all goes to crap!

Any word on the attempt?

 

Andy - I know

Coincidence????

Anyway - nearly an hour & all is smooth

 

wooo hooo (in a homer simpson styleee)

 

Well done Simon, keep it going, the bbs has obviously been missing you though

 

Hour up!!!




Simon gave a whoop & nearly lost concentration & the car tho'

Steady Simon!

 

Does the MY01 look any better going sideways than it does when stationary?

 

Well done everyone, is he still going ?

Cheers Phill C

 

well done si

how are the mars bar rations holding up ?

Did no one put a bit of tape over the clock so he couldn't see it?

How is the fuel situation looking?

 

I watched the WRC2001 going sideways yesterday and it looked amazing ( I am offically converted!!!!!!)

Andy

 

Any chance we can have a picture of the burnt tyres ?

I would imagine they're almost bold by now

Kepp it up!!

Cheers Phill C

 

oh yeah,

GOOD LUCK SIMON,
keep 'er lit!!
Andy

 

No mars bars on board - only a bottle of squash. They're hoping Si might loose a few pounds - not gain them

Fuel - Won't ask just in case Si starts worrying about it - will report if hear anything.

No, no, no, don't go saying things like that, people wont believe you

Maybe that's how subarus design team intended them to be used

 

good luck simon, keep it going m8

 

2/3rds of a tank left

Tyres & in fact the whole car have periods of being off then on. So sometimes its OK & sometimes a bit of a handful.

Rear diff seems to be running quite hot sometimes & may be a problem in the future.

75 minutes

 

Didn't say they wouldn't need the help of prodrive/pete croney/mike tuckwood (delete as required)
