Tonnie gives his thoughts from the perspective of team captain of #71 squad.
After a disappointing qualifying result (P17), we had planned to drive this race conservatively, knowing that a lot always happens in such a long race.
'We changed our planning and decided to switch to triple stints.
This paid off and me, Chris Gonzalez and Felix de Kruijff completed tight stints.
After my triple stint I really didn't feel well and it turned out that I had done my triple stint with a fever (which is not something you want to do!!)
We then rearranged the schedule and Felix, Chris and Pim continued with the three of them!
In the morning we were top 8 with still a view at more and that came. Various teams encountered problems and so we moved to P4 with a view of P3.
A spin due to a backmarker action made this no longer feasible and we finished the race. P4 final result
I am proud of the entire team for achieving this result.
Thanks everyone and on to Road America
