The morning started with qualifying. It's basically a race to determine the starting position of the final race. The Speedster probably had the least amount of power and had the narrowest tires but Thomas was able to gain positions during the qualifications. However as the engine temps got hotter near the end it started to go down on power so he brought the car in early to prevent any damage.
The actual race was after lunch. We started in back and ran until the engine temps started climbing so we left the race early. I stayed out to take some additional photos of the next race group that were of mostly 911s. Thomas was racing his orange 914-6 GT in this much faster grouo. He started in the front row and was leading the race until his car had ignition problems in one cylinder at the last lap and he finished third.
