Sorry, Dez, that link doesn't work. I would like to get hold of these photos as I want to make a memento of the occasion for our team. Some observations from the race...
Shand-A-Cola were dead last at two hours until Dez issued the command "let everyone go and keep the car rolling!" At hour six they were fourth... There's a lesson in there for lots of other teams...
Some driving was pretty random, and some drivers were giving their cars an unnecessary beating against the barriers and other cars... until John said that to be classified you had to cross the finish line. I don't think one car touched another in the last five minutes!!!
The camaraderie was just the best. Everyone chatted to everyone, thoughts and things were shared, all questions answered, and great banter.
John took no s**t! There was no politics, the Rules were applied fairly to everyone whether it was the lead car or the last car, the fastest driver or... the most challenged! Every question was answered politely and firmly, and there was never a second where I didn't know where we stood. Brilliant Ardent, just brilliant.
