Update after 21 hrs (9am)

At 7.30 am, the race was stopped for 30 mins after an incident involving just one kart. The diver was taken to hospital for xrays. The suspected cause was the drivers scarf becoming caught in rear axle, possibly luckily,during a full course yellow and therefore relatively slow speed. It doesnt bear thinking what would happen at full speed...
This meant we changed our driver change / refuel strategy to suit and next out for Team B was Bob. After a few laps getting tyres back up to temperature, he was detirmined to break the 1min 21 secs barrier. Not quite, but his lap times were consitantly in 1min 21's & 22's. Bob in now, Malcolm is now in the seat. Ste has scrapped his last stint due to his worn body and so the remaining four will finish the race for Team B.
Team A are currently in 34th seven laps ahead of Team B and are without problems.
