There are TWO Elises running, both private teams supported by Komo-Tec from Mendig.
The yellow #146 Motorsport Elise (no Exige), driven by Doug Newman, Julian Ley and Glenn Westwood-Price has got the Toyota engine (yes, the very same engine your cars will get) fitted. The car is said to have had two severe impacts during the evening and is running at pos. 201 right now, 73 laps behind with 32 laps completed and a total running time of 14:54:42 hrs.
The second car is #141 driven by Ralf Zensen, Christopher Peters and Hermann Backus. They do fairly well and are currently fighting at pos. 137, 34 laps behind with 71 completed laps and a total running time of 17:49:06.
Conditions are really hefty this year with occasionally heavy rainfalls, fog and so on. A lot of crashes, one driver reported "the Nordschleife resembles looking like a scrapyard".
