Qualifying was very close with Nick pipping his son Jamie Sismey by just 0.01 second to take his second pole position



Then the race began in earnest



The Porsche Curves gave all plenty to think about as usual....



As did the Mulsanne Corner...



Allan and Dave McPeake helped out at Race Control until 1am..



While Josh Roythorne helped keeping the hour charts updated...



Simon Sumner filmed the whole event, including a time lapse of the track being built and packed away so we are all looking forward to seeing those..



Following a wonderful event everyone's performance is shown below. Thanks to all 49 racers for your support, particularly the seven who made it all the way from the US
