24-hour 2CV triumph

After a troubled race which saw them drop to 9th in class at one point, Team SeaLion took top honours in the British class, for the second year running. They finished three laps ahead of Porky Boys and two more ahead of Rent Boys Racing, with some thrilling on-track battles involving all three cars. 

Engines are gently warmed road units, with hotter cams and a Weber carburettor, producing around 40bhp. Note heat-sinks on inboard brakes

In the super-modified class, Team Seventeen by Speedeuche took top honours and the overall victory. They managed to lap the fabulous Anglesey Circuit 800 times, at an average of 51.64mph. Bits of their car were once a Dyane, but it's hard to see the resemblance. These super-modified cars take to Spa-Francocrhamps for their own 24-hour race in October. Car 17 uses a BMW 850cc motorcycle engine producing around 70bhp.

The Minis added extra spice to the event, often out-dragging the 2CVs down the straights, but finding it hard to keep up around the bends. They are much closer to stock form than the 2CVs, which feature lowered, stiffened suspension. Slarky Malarky looked set for top honours when engine failure forced them into the pits. A 2CV engine can be changed in ten minutes. It takes a lot longer in a Mini. Team Toyshed won the Mini class, in 15th place overall. They finished just 18 seconds ahead of Lyford Racing.
