| The team truck/lorry (depends where you're from). The crew invited us to participate in one of the more important paddock rituals, the tea break! | The Motorsport Elise with beautiful (and very expensive) carbon fibre clam shells. | Rear of the car, where you can see the big ducting from the hood scoop. |

| Interior with centrally mounted seat and sequential gearbox shifter. | Michael O'Sullivan (your webmaster) with both drivers, Barrie Whight and Lotus handling/media boffin Gavan Kershaw. We all shop at the same store, I just don't get the discount! | Brothers O'Sullivan (Barry and John) on pitlane. |

| GT grid lines up for start. | Barrie on the start/finish straight, avoiding the shunt happy Ferrari 360s. | Gavan relieves Barrie 25 mins into the race (at the very far end of the pits). |

| Gavan rejoins in 3rd. | Gavan in 2nd having gobbled the Noble's 8 second lead. Half a lap later he's passed the Noble on turn 3 and sails in for the win. | Barrie and Gavan on the podium in first place. Well done lads! |
