Thank you all for coming today, was a great drive really eventful, but was great to see the whole convoy come together as a team, supporting each other and me, couldn’t have asked for a better crew today. 
special mention to @Giacomo for a fantastic Second lead with his beast of a 392. @Bjoern and @Rob S for brilliant support in the middle you were busy today and of course the white rhino @Emanuel for keeping everything safe at the back.
