It was not the best of weekend for Lynch.
Friday's test sessions went well enough when he set times
similar to Michael Mallock, a young experienced driver
who was to share the car during the 1 hour race.
<br><br>However, on Saturday during Qualifying, the set up of the
Marcos Mantis race car had been changed due to a broken
front spoiler and Shane was not able to improve on the
previous days times, but the team were confident that the
car would be in good order for the Sunday race.
<br><br>Michael took the first half hour drive, with Shane ready
to take over for the second half hour.
Unfortunately, the car's engine began to overheat after a couple
of laps, and on the third, the engine seized at the
far end of the circuit which meant that Shane did not
get a chance to drive and Michael had a long lonely
walk back to the pits. <br><br>We hope to be out again
in two weeks time at Snetterton - this will be
confirmed within 48hrs and will be announced first on the
BZ Web site. Thanks to all the fans who turned up at
Silverstone to support Shanno.
