2hr ProKart Endurance

Tonight the grid positions were picked out of a hat.
Below is where each team will be starting the race:

Pole - Charlie Haller
2nd - Asbos
3rd - Sean + Dan
4th - Colin Powley
5th - Rookies
6th - Boys Toys
7th - Team Dragon
8th - Chris Woods
9th - Big John + Ben
10th - G.A.S

Sean from team Dan + Sean is up in to 1st place by lap 2, from starting in 3rd.
Asbos Andy is currently holding 2nd place which is where he started the race.
Boys Toys Docky has moved up in to 3rd from starting in 6th place.
Ben Lambert from team Big John + Ben is up in to 4th from starting way down in 9th place.
On lap 7, Sean got the fastest lap of 39.42.
Duncan from team G.A.S has only done 3 laps and is now in the pits with a problem. I later heard on the grapevine that one of the clutch keyways had fell out so at the minute they are now trying to wedge something in there to stop it from moving! But at the minute they are not having much luck.
Charlie + Colin came in on the first 6 laps to do 6 out of the 7 pit stops. They are leaving their 7th one for a fuel stop later on in the race, nearing the hour mark.
10 minutes of the race have passed. Sean's still holding the lead. Boys Toys are in 2nd place, 7.60 seconds behind. Chris Woods is in 3rd, 0.32 of a second behind. Big John + Ben are 4th, 0.77 of a second behind. As you can obviously see, 3rd and 4th places are close. One false move from either of them and the damage could be done.
Sean is currently going slow and lapping in the 40 and 41 seconds as he is stuck behind backmarkers, Colin and Charlie.
Half an hour has now passed.
On lap 37, Dan got a new fastest lap of 39.41.
5 minutes later and Charlie has made his way up from 8th in to 7th place. His mate Colin has come up from 9th in to 8th place. He is now 0.19 of a second behind Charlie.
Team Dragon are in 9th place and not last for once.
5th place Rookies and 6th place Asbos are 0. of a second between each other.
40 minutes have now passed.
Colin has overtook Charlie and is now in 7th place. Charlie is 8th, 0.38 of a second behind.
10 minutes later, at the 50 minute mark, team G.A.S are finally back in the race!
5 minutes later and Dan is in the pits. He has somehow acquired a puncture. And he is racing on brand new rubber! As they have already lost some time they have now decided to do their fuel stop.
The 1hr mark has passed. Nearly everyone has done their re-fuelling now.
1hr and 14 minutes have now gone. Team Dragon are poodling around the track with a problem.
1 minute later and this is how the leaderboard looks:
Boys Toys are 1st, Chris Woods is 2nd, Rookies are 3rd, Asbos are 4th, Big J + Ben are down to 5th, Dan + Sean are way down in 6th.
On lap 86, Dan got another new fastest lap of 39.31.
1hr and 25 minutes have now gone. Chris Woods is leading. Boys Toys are down to 2nd, 14.13 seconds behind.
It is very cold out there tonight. Many of the drivers are coming in complaining that their hands are frozen!
There are now 18 minutes of the race left. Chris Woods is still leading. Dan + Sean have moseyed back up to 2nd place, 27.15 seconds behind. Rookies are 3rd. Colin has made his way up in to 4th place and still going strong. Big J + Ben are still holding 5th place.
Charlie pulled out of the race, just a few minutes ago as he hit the tyres, and this has bent the stub axles on it.
On lap 153, Dan got the final fastest lap of 39.22.
