At 5pm, the gearbox packed up and needed to be replaced, requiring a prolonged pitstop and the loss of 3 laps to the leaders. I got sideways and slammed into the wall backwards. That flipped me over. The only remaining BMW M3. A Team Cadillac crew member.
Endurance races are just as tough on the crew as they are on the cars and drivers.
Tom Kristensen brings his Audi in for a pit stop. He was now in the lead as he was able to pass Alboreto in the sister car. Lehto brakes for turn 3. He was running a solid 3rd now.
