xRG Endurance 2010: Race Report

Monday, June 14th, 2010

After a long endurance race-less period, CoRe Racing’s xRG Endurance 2010 came as a good occasion to get back into business for the Tigers. The race was 3 hours long, and was held at Aston North, with the eponym car. The organisators managed to get a pretty much interresting field, and Tiger Express was the only team, with ineX, Conquest and Epic Racing to fill 2 cars. The White Tiger Express team was composed of Domi and Yann, while Timo Höfer and Mike would fill the Tiger Express one. Nevertheless, Mike’s withdrawal 2 days before the event required a substitute. UKCT’s contriversial(for his LFS Forum activity) Dustin Dawes was chosen. The latter came back after a 2 years break from league racing!
