Thread: 2CV 24Hr Onboard Footage, inc the crash that cost us 7th place!

Thought you guys might like to see these funny little french cars racing in the 24Hr race this last weekend at Snetterton.

For those who dont know these are Citroen 2CVs, which have a 600cc 2cyl engine which gives around 25bhp in standard trim but 35-40bhp when 'tuned up'

I'd done the race twice before in 2003 and 2009 and had hooked up with Team Iceni Racing for the 2011 race.

We only qualified 19th as we had big problems in quali (gearbox change being one) but we def had the pace to be in the top 10.

I started from 19th and by the end of my stint had us up to 8th position. This is the start and first few laps.
