After 2 hours of sleep, the mechanics were back on track with everyone wanting a piece of them for the final stretch to Stockholm. We managed to get them to replace our oil cap with a shining new one. They also replaced the 100 ml of oil that was used to coat the inside of our engine bay.
The mechanics have been pleading with us all to stick to 90 km/h but it seems to be falling on deaf ears. I guess they’re tired of picking up our mess and I suspect that they won’t be coming along next year. They’ve done a helluva job so far though and few teams have made it this far without any of their help.

The receptionist didn’t quite like our parking and threatened to call some security company to come fine us all. Please do make the call we said, we all have Polish registration plates so this should be a hoot.

Tension is building and several teams are already out by the cars, checking and double checking so that everything is fine. There’s still another 70 minutes ’til start (at 12:00) and I too am getting jumpy. Sitting in the hotel room waiting for the time to pass is more than I can stand. I’m heading back out to mix with the crowds.
